AFC West, Editorial, Jon Gruden / Ray Leonard Aspuria

The mocking of Jon Gruden’s old-ass Raiders knows no bounds. Sure, it’s all quiet on the front now, but as July 23 approaches — the day rookies report to training camp in Napa — the hackneyed â€œIf you’re old, Gruden wants you” will accelerate at an exponential rate.

They are No. 4 in road equity, which sort of makes the low standing in fan equity seem very disputable and hard to fathom. While No. 19 in social media seems reasonably inadequate at best.

With the 2018 World Cup on the verge of completion, it is well past due to make a Raiders soccer lineup. The Silver and Black certainly won’t be the most talented team on the pitch. However, with proper management and some practice, I’m sure this lineup could do some damage on the big stage. The
