In case you don't watch every show on DVR or online and can't fast forward through every commercial break, then I'm sure you're more than aware of Friday's upcoming release of "Angels and Demons."

Framing posts like this with a question is fun. And we like fun. So, here we go: Is there a more hapless organization in professional sports right now than the Oakland Raiders?
Answer: Perhaps. But probably not.
The reason: Al Davis.
