My son couldn't help but become a Seahawk fanatic. At nine years old, he gets first dubs on any ticket the three of us can't use. His grandfather has him set up with Seahawks jersey's, ball caps, etc. He's seen some good football in his short life. The one thing the Seahawks over the Raiders - is a legit owner (Paul Allen).

It has gotten so bad in recent years that I have just let it go. All of it. I am enjoying spending time with my son and to heck with the roller coaster ride of sports. I'll be back I'm sure, since I too was born into it and worshiped at the alter of sports for most of my 41 years, but for now I am enjoying not feeling like I wasted an afternoon watching while my team got thumped. Feels good. Try being a Seattle sports fan…

We will watch games together and football is more of an event, food, family, friends. I am sad it's gone for a year too. Raiders...well, they have to get better--they just have to. Al is getting too old to run the club the way he tries too. Sad to see such a great organization struggle so much. Next years dolphins? Good post man.

If it's not the QB it's the O line. If it's not the offensive it's the defense. If it's not the Running backs it's the wide recievers. . . . I think the combo of McFadden, Fargas and Busch is a recipe for success if we can shape up the O line, and get Jamarcus Russel to complete a pass or two. That is one of the most infuriating part of being a Raider fan. While he may be senile, Al Davis is not cheap. We have the second highest payroll in the NFL and one fo the worst records!

I have followed them to 3 bowl games, 2 basketball championship tourneys, and 1 SEC football championship in which they were destroyed. I have gone to hundreds of games and never miss them on TV. This has led me to somewhat follow your Raiders becasue of McFadden. I am certain he will be a great player for your team. Hopefully that will start next year. My son has every razorback item that they make and his nursery is a razorback theme. He has no choice but to love the hogs too. I was born and raised a die hard Arkansas Razorback fan.
