The 2011 NFL Schedule

The 2011 NFL Schedule has now been released.

I am flying on Wednesday from the birthplace of Pro Football in Ohio to the city without Pro Football known as Los Angeles. By the time my plane lands tomorrow I expect all of you to have the schedule memorized.

Less than 2 weeks until the 2011 NFL Draft.

Update: Members of the Raider Nation have always believed that the league is out to get us. This is not paranoia. They really are. The league hates the Raiders, and often gives us a rock hard schedule to maximize pain at the beginning of the season.

In 1986 the Raiders began their season at Denver and Washington, and home against the Giants. Denver and the Giants played in the Super Bowl and Washington was one game short. The league knew what they were doing.

In 1999 the Raiders began at Green Bay and Minnesota. Minnesota finished 15-1 the year before.

This year the Raiders begin on Monday Night at Denver. We get the new Tim Tebow in front of 70,000 screaming Bronco fans. The next week we are at Buffalo.

Then we have home games against the Jets, who were in the AFC Title game last year. Then we host New England, who was 14-2 last year. Then we are at Houston.

The Raiders could start 0-5 in 2011. As I said, the league really hates the Raiders.

    It’s really a shame that LA doesn’t have a team. It’s a really dirty shame. I don’t understand it.

    I know that California is a madhouse. I know. I lived there for a while in the eighties. How do you do the logistics?… What with valleys and mountains and all that? Those Black Holes you guys call “traffic?” California is a funny place.

    If you want an NFL team in LA, get off the libertarian nonsense and make a sucessful state out of California. (psssttt…that costs money, by the way…)
