The Las Vegas Raiders have been the butt of the joke for the last few years. That's what happens when you make the mistakes they have made, and you haven't won a playoff game in 20 years. There are some rookies in the league now who weren't even born the last time the Raiders won a playoff game.

So, when things like that happen, it is natural for other teams, fan bases, and really the league to clown your team. What we are hoping happens is the Raiders end that and shut everyone up this season by making the playoffs and maybe even some games.

But for now, they will continue to be the team that gets made fun of. They already are this offseason, as they inadvertently made the cover of the new Madden game – Madden 25.

Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers made the cover, but it appears that on the cover he is running away from the Raiders, as two players are in the background. 

Now, it's kind of hard to tell who those players are, but we can kind of guess that they may be made-up players. One of them is No. 47, in 2022, the last time those two teams played one another in a regular season game with Christian McCaffrey, No. 47 was the long snapper, Trent Sieg.

So, maybe they wanted to make the former Bay Area rivals look bad by making a picture. Or, maybe that is a real picture. Either way, the Raiders found themselves once again made to look bad.
