Not a Raiders fan, but my favorite from NFL films was “The Autumn Wind”, a poem actually written by Sabol (RIP), and fittingly narrated by the fabulous Facenda:

The Autumn wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along
Swaggering boisterously.
His face is weatherbeaten
He wears a hooded sash
With a silver hat about his head
And a bristling black mustache
He growls as he storms the country
A villain big and bold
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold.
The Autumn wind is a Raider
Pillaging just for fun
He’ll knock you ‘round and upside down
And laugh when he’s conquered and won.

My absolute all time favorite was “The Lineman”.

That epitomized football for me.

I don’t know the name of this one, but it was another of my favorites...
