Thoughts?

I've heard of the Raiders being accused of doing anything to win but sewing metal shards into the jersey numbers? Really?

In the 35 years since, not one single player has ever come out and said (To My Knowledge) "Gee, every time I grab a Raiders lineman's shirt, I come away with my hands bleeding as if I was mishandling razor blades" or "Man, what kind of steroids is Lyle Alzado using? The syringes seem to still be embedded in his jersey!"

Troy from MEARS said he'd never seen something like it. While I am certainly no expert on 1980's NFL jerseys, I'd like to think with all the time I have spent in this hobby and the resources on this website alone, someone, at sometime would have unearthed one other example of this.

Color me perplexed.
