Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis was caught on video shouting at fans during Sunday’s Los Angeles Chargers game.
Seems the exchange occurred when some fans expressed their frustration, telling Davis he should fire head coach Josh McDaniels.
Davis, clearly annoyed, responded by yelling, “Smarten up.”

The Chargers ended up winning 24-17 over the Raiders, leaving Las Vegas with a 1-3 record for the season.
McDaniels’ win-loss record with the team is 7-14, and the Raiders odds of making it to the playoffs this year don’t seem very likely at the moment.
Star running back Josh Jacobs, who is playing on a one-year contract, shared his frustration with the media, and things don’t sound too great. He stated, “I’m tired of losing, just keep it 100, I’m tired of f—— losing. I feel like every day I go in there and I work my ass off.”

When asked if close games offered any solace, Jacobs replied, “No, it makes it worse because that just means 5-6 plays can be the difference in the outcome of the game. But at the same time, you’re tired of saying 5-6 plays…it’s just time to do that s—.”
Only time will tell if the Raiders can turn things around.
