Marshawn Lynch on The Raiders
So it actually happened, Marshawn did it. He came back for a chance to play for his hometown team.
It’s a hell of a thing. Marshawn goes to the one team he probably always would have wanted to play for, probably at the best time in his career to play for them. Any years before this past one probably would have been rough since the Raiders were such a crapshow for so long. But now the Raiders are good! They are also moving in two seasons, probably about as long as Marshawn will last a (at most). Win win for everyone. The Raiders get to win a little goodwill to the local fans who they’ve scorned with a hometown hero, Marshawn gets some more dough and to go out in style, and best of all, we the fans get more Marshawn Lynch. We could all use more Marshawn Lynch in our lives. Lynch is an national treasure. Hell, maybe international hero.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love this man. He’s probably been my favorite non-Giant in the past decade. I love how how he’s just the realest dude in the world. Marshawn could be in the white house meeting the president or in an Oakland back alley, and he’d be the exact same person either way. He’s just Marshawn Lynch.
That said I don’t expect him to be much good and the Raiders probably need a second, better workhorse option than Lynch. He was beat up his final seasons with the Hawks and a few years off may have softened him up a bit. Then again, maybe the time off healed him. But he’s on the wrong side of 30, he’s not going to be what he once was. We might get a few vintage moments of Marshawn Lynchery but the magic will probably be gone. I hope it’s not. I hope he leads the Raiders to a Championship and gives the city something to hold onto before the team bails.
For now, let’s just enjoy that we get more Marshawn Lynch in our lives.
“Yeah.”
Fuck the media
Fuck the media
Let’s face it, unless your a Cardinals, Bills, Packers, Saints, or 49ers fan, BEAST MODE MOTHERFUCKER is everybody’s favorite player that’s not on their favorite team (unless you’re a discount 12th (wo)man, than he was your favorite). I fell less like an asshole when wishing the Raiders well now
Also, Marshawn’s nose is Black, ‘stache-less Mario confirmed
Rivers. Not a Chargers fan (because let’s face it there are none left) on or a fan of those teams you listed.

Go Storm.
I dig it, looking forward to watching these as the season goes on!
Also, I want your opinion as The Draw Play’s arena expert: Should I root for the Brigade or the Valor? I live about equidistant between DC and Baltimore right now, so I’m a toss-up between the two. The Valor seem more talented on paper, and they have much less boring uniforms, but right now they’re both 1-2, and I’ve always liked rooting for the underdog, which Baltimore certainly seems like given their owner also owns the Valor, and he’s clearly a DC-first guy since he also owns the Caps and the Wizards.(When you’re probably not #1 even in your owner’s heart, you’re an underdog in my book)
If you want good defensive line play: Brigade
If you want a good first half, The Sanchize’s Fu-Man-Chu, T.T Toliver, and a team that is going to exist next year, Valor.
I would take D.C, just because they have Tolliver, who’s running with guys half his age and young enough to be his sons. Once he retires (If Baltimore exists by then, which I highly doubt) I’d move on to Baltimore.
I have a Buffalo Bills Lynch jersey and I love it and I love him and he is perfect.
Hopefully he’ll do enough to get to 10k yards.
The worst thing about playing for his hometown NFL team is the fact that they won’t be in Oakland much longer, but I guess that’s why my dad told me you don’t always get what you want
The move works because Marshawn doesn’t have to carry the ball on his own. The Raiders have Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington to relieve him. They compliment each other perfectly, along with their Offensive line.
He is the true meaning of determination. We probably don’t deserve more Marshawn Lynch, but we should be grateful we will have more Marshawn Lynch
