I didn't want Robertson anyhow. We can get a rookie like Pat Sims and groom him in our system instead of some retread. But as far as the Raiders are concerned, one moment that stuck out was the Lytle fumble. They think that they would have went to the SB if they get that ball. There were no guarantees. They would have had the ball on their own 5, anyway. ESPN could have did a "Top 5 reasons you can't blame" episode on that game. The only one on there that, I wish, would have went the Raider's way was the Tuck Rule. That started the Patriot Flukasty and made a demigod of the vastly overrated Tom Brady.

That article sure is a great read!

I see that the 2000 AFC championship game made their list.  I had to take a moment to post to remind them what a great player Shannon Sharpe was.  Bronco or Raven, he owned the raiders.

Another thing I forgot to mention, the list includes Super Bowl against Tampa.  A few clueless fans are still throwing stones at Barret Robbins five years later.  Wonder if they don't know or don't care.

Robbins is bipolar.  He had it under control with medication, but thought it was hurting his play.  So he stopped taking meds.  That combined with the pressure of the Super Bowl gave him a breakdown, from which he hasn't recovered.  The guy lost his family, career and health.  As of 2007 he had an arrest warrent in Florida for violation of probation.  Hopefully wherever the guy is now, he has his problem under control and is living something close to a normal life.

Then bill classy callahan blames the loss on Robbins instead of admitting the obvious:  that his team was outcoached and outplayed.  Way to scapegoat a guy with a serious problem that needed serious help.  I hope fans of other teams, especially the Broncos, would act with much more class and respect should one of our former players in such a difficult situation.
