Jensen R’s Reviews > Badasses: The Legend of Snake, Foo, Dr. Death, and John Madden's Oakland Raiders > Status Update

In the novel, I'm at the end of the novel. A conflict in the part I was reading was the bad end to the Badass Era. Many things did not go well for the Raiders after the badass era. Stabler become bad and got traded, Madden retired, and most players that were good in the Badass era were either not good anymore or just too old to play. Sadly, there were many issues that ended the badass Raiders.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the Raiders have finally made to the Superbowl. One connection I can make is a prediction on who will win the superbowl. The matchup is between the vikings and the raiders, and the book is almost coming to an end. Therefore, I think the Raiders are going to win the superbowl against the vikings.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the author is talking about the great defensive players on the Raiders in the past. One trait a character posses in the story is caring which if from John Madden. For example, throughout the entire training camp season and the actual season. In training camp, he makes sure every player gets back to the hotel at night safely, and in the season, he gives players a chance to start.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the author is evaluating each player of the 70s Raiders. The title Badasses is a good one for this book. The name is reffering to the players and how bad/cool they were. Everyone knows the Raiders for being bad, and they're just really good at what they do. Every player plays with a bad style of play, and plays like they're better than everyone.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the author is talking about new additions to the team in 1973 and the draft class that year. My claim for this book is that it is one of the best football books ever written. The readers are given many behind the scenes details about the 70s Raiders. By the end of the book, you will probably know a lot about each player, which makes the Raiders one of the most loved franchises.

In the novel, I'm in the part where the author is talking about how the 70s Raiders went through training camp in the summer, and all the bad stuff they did. If I had to be friends with someone on the team at this time, I would choose John Madden (head coach). If I to pick a roll for a NFL team, I would pick coach because I want to be the one calling the plays. Learning from Madden would be an awesome expierence.
