The Oakland Raiders were founded in 1960. In 1980, the Raiders unexpectedly won a second championship by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XV. Two years later, the franchise relocated to Los Angeles. In 1983 (their second season since the move), they defeated the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII to capture a third championship. In 1995, the team returned to Oakland. In the early 2000's, the Raiders experienced a massive (albeit brief) resurgence; their renaissance culminated in a 2002 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Direct Sportslink really helped us out of a jam. Our speaker for an awards banquet cancelled at the last minute. Our theme for the banquet was basketball so not only were we in need of a replacement but the sports speaker needed to be in the professional basketball field. Direct Sportslink saved us - not only did they come through with a well-known basketball player, but they gave us several options. Our employees couldn't stop raving about Muggsy Bogues. Direct Sportslink made it easy to do business at the last minute. Their professionalism and willingness to help us during a pinch is invaluable. We won't hesitate to do business with them again.
