Pre-season games don’t mean that much to me beyond a chance to see some hitting and find guys to root for. I haven’t found that guy yet. Maybe this next week as I go see the game live against the Cardinals. Ultimately the rest of pre-season for me simply means don’t get anyone hurt, and knock some rust off. We get the Raiders again on dead bird day. Tonight I sat by a young couple who were split on loyalty. He was a Cowboys fan and she was a Raiders fan. They had fun, and I enjoyed the banter. Tonight she has bragging rights. In November I expect her Thanksgiving dinner to be crow. I don’t think the Raiders have the juice to compete with this Cowboys team straight up without scrubs vs. Scrubs.
That’s just my view form the cheap seats. Oh, and for grins tonight I wore a fedora to go watch the game. That’s right, I had on my Landry Hat. Win or lose, it was fun to see the players I love out there twice in a single week. Look out Phoenix, the Cowboys are coming to take over our home away from home yet again. It won’t count, but I have no doubt I’m going to see aggression again, and I like that. I really like that.
