LETTER: Raiders season comes to a close
Your Monday lead sports story was headlined “Cause for Celebration” in bold letters. I’m a little confused as to what is being celebrated. Was it a below .500 (8-9) record, once again missing the playoffs, no playoff wins since 2002 or something else?
It’s obvious that work continues to be required to field a winning team, but celebrating a below .500 season seems a little odd.
Maybe next year. But it’ll probably be without Antonio Pierce, as it’s likely the owner will once again go for a high-profile coach. The last interim coach — who led them into the playoffs, by the way — was let go. Let’s hope next year’s there will indeed be a “Cause to Celebrate.”
