I’ve already told you how bad the Oakland Raiders football team is, but I didn’t put down as bad as Giants middle linebacker Antonio Pierce did. He verbally shredded them worst than anything I’ve ever heard.
“I do not like knocking teams,” Pierce said. “But right now, they’re struggling. We’re playing that game the other day and, honestly, it felt like a scrimmage, like a practice. It felt like we were going against our offense [in a controlled setting] as far as the tempo.
“There was no vibe of trying or effort from the Raiders at all from a defensive standpoint against their offense. We’re getting three-and-outs. You don’t hear nobody [saying], ‘Hey, let’s go!’ trying to pick the 
guys up, rallying them, getting guys fired up. There was nothing. It was quiet. A guy gets sacked or somebody gets beat, they just get up. It’s not like there’s yelling or no kind of [emotion] about the way they were playing.
“It was shocking to be out there in that game and get that kind of feeling.”
What he’s says is that the Raiders players aren’t even trying. I hadn’t ever heard that about an NFL football team.
