Share

New Oakland Raider Philip Wheeler has 2,000 new friends. Speaking to the Bay Area media for the first time on Monday, Wheeler, @Philgood50 on Twitter, was asked how many followers he picked up during his first week as a member of the Silver and Black.Wheeler said he's added "almost like 2,000 (followers). It was cool, that kind of helped me and my decision, because it showed me how big of a football city (Oakland) is. I mean, Indianapolis was a pretty good football city, but they didn't get involved in the media or show us how much they care about the game. I've always wanted to play in a football city for a legendary team."
