Who ya got?
I became a Raider fan after blowing off the Oilers after Buffalo '93. Actually, even while growing up here in the 60's, was a fan of Daryl Lamonica, Cliff Branch, Ben Davidson et al., going on into the Stabler/Madden teams. So don't get me started on the effing "tuck rule"!
Hasn't been easy watching Al's senility drag the team down, so have to satisfy myself these days w/rooting against New England, and being richly amused at how lousy the 49ers are too. I lived in the Bay Area from 86-89, the kind of wall-to-wall coverage the Chron gives to the Texans now you already saw then in the SF Chronicle. I used to joke that they even had a sidebar on Mon. mornings about what shoelaces those punks Montana and Rice wore.
I know we're from all over on this board, so should be an interesting variety of teams supported, not to mention the Texans (yawn). When I saw their new ad tagline this season, "I'm a Texan," wondered aloud, "I laugh at the Texans - does that count?"
