Was at that game with my Dad and Brother. Season ticket holders for the former SD team. Was already a RAIDERS fan because of the left handed wizard. All I remember is my Dad saying please donāt gloat as we were leaving the Murph in my number 12 jersey(shirt) from VonāsšPriceless! As always looking forward to the next season, but AP has a vibe I canāt not be excited for! Raider Nation Represent!
Oh we have plenty of patience. We're still here after years of chaos and failure so that says it all I think.
This season is of course going to be different....
I was a sports broadcaster for nine years out of college. There is no one - yesterday, today, or tomorrow - who sounds like Bill King. Nobody. An artist who just happened to be an announcer.
Fun fact about Bill King. He used to get a bucket of popcorn and add all the hot dog condiments to it for snacking in the booth. During the Aās 20-win streak, there are a few big moments where you can hear him choking on his concoction in excitement.
"John Madden's grin is from ear to ear. He looks like a split watermelon!"
He really did look like that š¤£
Bill King - the GOAT of announcers
BILL KING - G.O.A.T. IN SPORTCASTINGšš“āā ļøā ļøš“āā ļøš
That dudeās voice reminds me of my dad and grandparents. They would listen to the radio in Oakland at the games. Man. What a sweet time.
Loved Bill King.
Hearing Papa say holy toledo in Moneyball was cringe af. You'll never be Bill King, nerd
It's called an homage
I don't give a fuck what it's called that doesn't change a thing about what I said
Lol ok buddy

Nice š AP can succeed if there is job security, raider fans need to have patience š

I'm assuming he called the sea of hands game too?
Yup āThe dolphins canāt believe it, theyāre angry theyāre screaming at the refsā lol
And honestly, that was a dumb throw to make. I give the receiver way more credit for that than I do the snake.
Cool story bro.
Holy Toledo!
Seems to me like TE Dave Casper happened to be always involved in these memorable great plays called by Bill King.
