How to lose 11 games every year

1.  Draft Jamarcus Russell and surround him with crap.

2.  Sign Shane Lechler to the richest deal ever given to a punter.

3.  Pass on Michael Crabtree to sign a second round draft pick that nobody would bother considering.

4.  Have Al Davis run things.

And finally, and most recently:

5.  Sign Sebastian Janikowski to the richest deal ever given to a kicker.


There you have it, your Oakland Raiders: perennial 11-game losers and top-5 draft pick wasters.  And you thought it was bad on the west side of the Bay?
