These still aren’t your father’s Oakland Raiders but with Tuesday’s signing of troubled offensive lineman Richie Incognito they’re definitely inviting some nastiness and mouthiness from yesteryear.
Incognito, whose 12-year career has been draped in controversy on and off the field, joins the Raiders’ earlier additions of linebacker Vontaze Burfict and wide receiver Antonio Brown to create what some may call a trio of troublemakers in Oakland.
We’ll have to wait and see if any of them approach the disturbing deeds of other notorious bad boys to wear silver and black, such as Bill Romanowski, Lyle Alzado, George Atkinson, Jack Tatum and John Matuszak.
