Thoughts from the Curb

Oct 24, 2008 - Scenes from the Curb: Are You Smarter Than This Raiders Fan?

Occasionally on Adam Carolla's radio show they'll do a bit called "Are you smarter than a Raiders fan?" where they ask trivia questions to Raiders fans and callers guess if the fan got it right. They usually don't. With apologies to Edmunds editorial top dog Kevin Smith, Raiders fans are a special breed, and by special I mean often times scary and borderline retarded.

Case in point. I was at the sports book bar and lounge at the Palazzo in Las Vegas recently watching the Colts-Vikings game (there were numerous other games showing on the other screens). The only loud, annoying person there shouting out unintelligent dross was sure enough the only Raiders fan there -- and his game wasn't even on yet. He didn't seem drunk and yet turned around at one point during half time and said repeatedly to me, "Colts second half. Yeah?" Um, sure, buddy. That's not really a question or a statement or a sentence for that matter. The Colts did come back in the second half, though, so what he lacked in coherence, he made up for in clairvoyance.

I'm sure his car looks something like this.
