Silver Minings: We sure do talk a lot about this team

For better or worse, the Las Vegas Raiders are always on the mind of their great fan base.

Raiders’ fans spent a good portion of their days, well, lives, yakking about the Silver and Black. Again, for better or worse.

According to a recent study by Promguy.us, Raiders fans spend 2.6 hours a week talking about the Raiders (frankly, from my experiences, I think the estimation is low … very low).

The current Raider who is the center of that conversion is pass-rusher Maxx Crosby. That makes sense because he’s their best player.

That’s the beautiful thing about this fan base. No matter if the team is winning or losings, fans are here to discuss it all. And, of course, comment about here here. And for that we say thank you.
