In Line For the Guillotine
If there is one team that I can say I am not anxious for the Raiders to play, it's the Chargers. They're going through their opponents like a midevil guillotine went through enemies of the crown. They've got a very explosive offense, and if you add to it that this game is the equivalent of a super bowl to them and their city, then you know, for us Raider fans, it's going to be a very long evening.
I was going to go out to the stadium and watch the game, but after last week's performance and Norv Turner's stubborness to keep Kerry Collins is as starter, I decided to stay home and watch in on Sunday Night Football. I've gone out to one game this season, as I watched the Raiders take on the Chiefs in Oakland.
I went out to watch these two last season, and for all the crap-talking that Charger fans and San Diegans do about Raider fans, I've got to say their fans don't lag too far behind in terms of belligerent and rude behavior. I was surrounded by Charger fans, and I was quietly watching the game, pissed off because of the score, but not saying a word. Behind me, there was a guy who was running his mouth and started getting personal towards me...then they whine when they get stabbed. People, go out and enjoy the game, but leave the L.A. Gangster mentality at home and San Diegans, leave the arrogance at home. Win at least one ring, then you can start talking with the big boys. Until you do that, you'll still be the little punk down the block who can't hang with the Shot Callers of the AFC West. Don't believe me? Well, every other team in the division has hardware...where's yours?
And you know what? As bad as my team is, I've got a wager for you Trickage2: If the Raiders win, your blog carries an entry in the largest font saying that you look up to us and you'll never be as good as us until you win a Super Bowl. If the Blunderbolts win, I'll post an entry saying you laid the wood to us congratulating you on the win. One other thing, the entry must be decorated with logos and pictures of the winning team. whatdya day Al? You down?
Enough about the Blunderbolts... I don't even want to mention the game really cause Kerry Collins sucks, Norv Turner is an idiot, and we are on the verge of another high first round draft pick. Maybe we should start asking for a new coach...Herm Edwards anyone? As far as quarterback is concerned, we have Andrew Walter who looked sharp in the preseason, we have Marques Tuiasosopo who hasn't reallyhad a chance to prove his worth, and we have a draft next season. Collins is out!
I was watching a video interview with Marcus Allen, and I was remembering his greatness. I loved watching his slashing runs, especially that 74 yarder in the Super Bowl against the Skins. Then they switched to the time when he was in the Chiefs jersey...and I still get queazy. I remember feeling impotence and anger when I was kid seeing him in the wrong jersey, and that feelingstill doesn't go away. that's one of those time when I think Al Davis is an idiot. Other than that, he's a genius.

Like giving points I'll take the bet as is. I think what I would have to type carries more verbal "sting" than yours. But I can handle it. I remember my last visit to SD, just happened to be a Sun. nite game in late September of this yr, we squished the NYG's. My visit before was the 42 to something like 21 or 23 victory over the Raidahs. And I witnessed the thunderous Antonio Gates crossbar dunk that rattled for literally 10 mins afterwards. Ready fo mo? The frieght train is coming and your the penny on the tracks!
But all that aside...oh yeah. I love the Raider/Charger game. It is to me an awesome West Coast style spectacle. But its better if ya win! GO CHARGERS!!! Its gonna be seppuku...
