Dear Raiders fans:

true story: when Andrew Jackson died, they had to remove his pet parrot from the wake because the bird wouldn’t stop cursing in both English AND Spanish.

there have been other cases where a parrot’s recall was used as testimony in court. http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/03/serious-question-can-a-parrot-act-as-a-witness-in-court.html

I never can accept teams that can’t get their geography right.

No deal. He’s out indefinitely with a bad ACL.

It sounds like someone who may have starred with Corey Haim (that the attacks occurred on set), so start checking the filmography.

because the bear has taste.

Throwing your beer at a bear only makes the bear like more beer.

As a white person, I’d like to offer Phil Jackson, Lindsey Lohan, and Tony Kornheiser in exchange for Ice Cube and one of the Obamas.

LACES OUT

I still remember how the fans would avoid the sports bars the second the Phins lost two in a row, even if their record was 5-2. Every time someone says “bandwagon” I immediately think Miami.

Of all the NFC teams, Detroit is the only one I root against I still have sympathy for. Sure, they’ve ruined more than one Bucs season for me, but in terms of butt-monkey status they are in many ways below where the Bucs stand in terms of history. The Lions have the only other winless season... and they are two up on…

Damn.

My older brother lives in the suburbs of Baltimore. I think he’s tried being a Ravens fan (and Orioles), but last I heard he was starting to pine for the Jaguars again (he lived in Jax when the team started).

I drove often through South Florida and the Everglades when I worked in Broward County, and I considered the Everglades the flattest piece of scenery I ever witnessed.

Look on the bright side, if the Bears start Mike Glennon against your team that’s 2 wins on the season right there.

The only thing Arizona Cardinals are good for is ruining the Bucs road trips out west. It’s a sad thing but the Bucs just can’t handle the West Coast (we’ve won only two games out that way: against a bad Raiders team in Oakland and against an outclassed Raiders team in the Super Bowl).

any team would be lucky to have a draft class that saw 4 out of 7 picks make the squad for more than three years. The problem with drafting kickers is 1) you’re getting a guy who’ll only contribute to 14-18 plays a game while passing on good talent at other positions that’ll see 25-80 plays a game, and 2) the higher…
