okay, that post above was meant to have a "greater than" sign between Air Asia and The Raiders, but i guess yahoo doesn't allow for that...

Go Raiders...lol...

Yeah, let's just throw a pirate plane in the sky over an area where pirates are an actual threat. i'm sure the poor fishermen and farmers will know the difference. Sure the language is indecipherable and there's a menacing pirate dude on their but i'm sure they'll know that it's a football team and that dude on the tail is actually Al Davis.

The J-Mark joke was golden. Good stuff MJD!

The Raiders are just getting their name on a plane. What's the big deal? It's not like your flying to Asia anytime soon on your yahoo blogger salary MJD so why are you tripping . I would take my chances on that plane before I would take chances betting that you actually can write an interesting article.
You know what is ten times more amusing than the commitment to excellence slogan?
The San Diego sports curse is a superstition cited for the city of San Diego's inability to claim a modern major league sports championship in the United States (Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, and NBA Finals). With a population of over one million, San Diego is the largest city in the United States with this distinction.[1] Adding together all the seasons from the Chargers (38), Padres (40), Clippers (6), and Rockets (4), San Diego Sports has gone a total of 88 years without a championship. Furthermore, not one of these teams has an overall winning record in its tenure (Chargers, 361-367-13; Padres, 2,886-3,330; Clippers, 186-306; Rockets, 119-209).

Air Asia flies out of the United Kingdom and Australia as well jackass. Notice how you left them off the list to bolster your garbage article.

this is pretty good considering the alternative "air travel" sponsorship - the circus cannon used to fire midgets into nets.

brian b - how is DHB's hamstring?

Pulled.

What is a pulled hamstring?
A pulled hamstring, also called a hamstring strain, is a tear of the hamstring muscle fibers. In less severe hamstring strains, Grade I injuries, the tearing is microscopic. The muscle fibers are essentially stretched too far, and some bleeding occurs within the muscle. In very severe hamstring strains, severe Grade III injuries, the hamstring muscle can completely rupture, and may require surgery to repair the torn ends of the muscle.
Muscle strains and tears most commonly occur because of what is called an "eccentric contraction." When this occurs, the muscle is trying to contract while another force (the ground, another player, etc.) is forcing the muscle in the opposite direction. This creates tremendous force on the muscle, and if the force is strong enough, it will tear the muscle fibers.
What is the treatment of a pulled hamstring?
Treatment of a pulled hamstring is dependent on the severity of the injury. Because of bleeding and swelling, athletes should stop their activity and rest immediately. An ice pack and compressive bandage can be applied to control swelling. Crutches may be necessary if walking is painful or if spasms are severe. If the pain is significant, or if the symptoms do not steadily resolve, medical evaluation should be obtained.

so yeah he is fine just a weak hammie pull common in football. No big deal.

Can you believe this crap RFFL? MJD writing this dumb article damn well knowing he is fan of a team that has a 38 year commitment to not winning a super bowl. It is just plain sad.

The raiders don't suck that bad. Hehe JK. They suck ****

MJD is such a homer for the Chargers. I'm not surprised he came up with this.

Aren't they worried that the plane will be intercepted every time it gets in the air?

Childhood friend of the wright brothers!! LOL

Wow! Air Asia goes way beyond my Christmas present wish for Al Davis, an inflatable coach doll. I guess just about everyone is a step or two behind that genius guy at the helm in Oakland.

Is that Todd Marinovich? I sure hope they don't let him pilot that plane.

raiders and obama suck.

Al's plans are to move the airline to Oakland, and then to Los Angeles, and then to Irwindale, and then back to Oakland, before finally settling on Hong Kong.
And no flack please, I am a life long Raiders fan from Illinois, yes home to the most obnoxious [profane] (football and baseball) fans in America. And am married to a Steelers fan.
Times have been tough in the Fall and Winter lately.
And by the way, that jet looks pretty tight.
Just be thankful Al didn't invest in some sort of Ethiopian cruise ship.
Imagine that Raiders logo and name coming at you on the high seas???
Pirates? What freaking pirates, we are the Raiders!!!

And friends with the Wright Brothers.....priceless.

Exuse me... Is Al Davis really that much of an Ass?

air asia is originating from malaysia... i dunno what the heck they do with one of worst team in the NFL!

I love all the Raider Haters. No doubt the franchise is down but lets face facts and the fact is that the NFL is a much better league when the Raiders are good or at least competitive. I think the Raiders surprise some people this year who are expecting the teams 7 consecutive 11 loss season. As for the plane it is bad ass and no MJD you are incorrect when you say that most of the passengers will not know who the Raiders are. The Raiders have one of the biggest followings in the world similar to the Cowboys and especially in Asia. You are pretty much a unitelligent moran with no comical talent either.
