I grew up liking them mostly because they both represent my hometown. Even though the A's lost in the 1st round of the playoffs last season, it still feels great to have a competitive team again in the Town. They played good all season, and they even had their first division crown since '06. So, congrats to them. I just wish that they weren't so adamant about moving. Both the A's and the Warriors are trying to leave town; the A's want a stadium in San Jose, while the Warriors want to move back to SF.
As far as the Raiders go, they've been nothing but an embarrassment, as much as I hate to admit it. It has been over a decade since they last been to the playoffs, and they've been regressing the past couple of seasons after sweeping the AFC West in 2010. It was definitely a hard pill to swallow during that one game last year, where they lost in Denver 37-6. They were doing better when Tom Cable, Jason Campbell, and Michael Bush were there, but our imbecile owner got rid of them. Now, the only team they can beat is KC. It looks like it's going to be at least another few years before we have a decent football team again...
