Tebow vs Brady


15 Dec

I’ve long been able to ignore football games between two teams I dislike. Back in January 1990, I threw an anti-Superbowl party. I shunned one of the greatest QB matchups ever- Montana vs Elway –because I did not like the teams.

This weekend, the Broncos play the Patriots- Tebow vs Brady. As a Raiders fan, I dislike both teams, but I am finding myself hoping the Pats win. (And yes, it’s killing me.) But my dislike of the Broncos is older, and I’m really tired of hearing about Tebow. He’s obviously a good leader, but he’s not a great QB.

Ode to Al Davis, Asshole – RIP


17 Oct

I am a Raiders fan. I have been a Raiders fan ever since my older brother became one 25 or more years ago. I had no idea who Al Davis was, no real idea about football, just that we hated the Broncos, and the Raiders hated the Broncos, so we loved the Raiders.

It’s really perfect logic for a Raiders fan.

The NFL wouldn’t be what it is today without Al Davis, and part of that is precisely because the man was an ass. “Just Win, Baby” isn’t the motto of a “nice guy.” And, you know what, that’s okay.
