Raider's Progeny

{EAV_BLOG_VER:e1cd199ebad2907a}

First of all, I believe I need to explain the lack of content on my site. The reason behind this is that I clicked a wrong button and deleted every fucking thing. This really sucks. I checked my Dropbox account, as well as my Documents folders and sadly things such as "Me and I," are gone. I had a lot of shit that I was proud of, and it's all fucking gone.

I have to let it go, I know this. I am accepting the realization of the current developments and moving on. This is why I am writing this post. The previous paragraph was for you guys, not me.

Let's move on.

My dog, Raider, gave birth to five puppies about a month ago. The day they were born, I got off of work and took charge in naming the little gremlins. Here are the near-future shoe chewers and little boy best friends.

WARNING: Their mother's name is Raider, therefore I felt their names had to be fitting.

Introducing RAIDER

This is Raider. She is Awesome Sauce with Mc Donald's Chicken Nuggets. We got her shortly after Veltie was born. No, you can't have her. 

MADDEN

This is Madden, taken from the greatest coach in Raider history. I really hope that you caught that one (John Madden). She is a loner, hates her siblings' company, but enjoys limited human attention. She is a chunky-little-shit.

TIM

Tim is my buddy. He is named after possibly the greatest wide receiver in NFL history, Tim Brown. He is fiesty and loves to play. He is also a bit of an escape artist. He has no problem climbing out of a quite tall box (for him). 

BO

Bo is our other little girl. Her name is taken from the great running back, Bo Jackson. She is probably the calmest puppy I have ever seen. She is the text book definition of Cool.

MARCUS

Marcus is really quiet. His name is taken from Marcus Allen, look him up. Marcus is very shy and quite timid. He isn't really playful, but he does seem to be the target of his siblings' torment. Poor little guy.

HOWIE

Howie is probably the loudest of the bunch. There is absolutely no question when Howie is unhappy, or wants out of the box. He will whine relentlessly until you give him what he wants. Howie's name comes from Howie Long, the great Defensive End and current media personality. 

Well, that's the puppies. Stay tuned for more updates. If you want one of them in a couple of weeks, feel free to email me. I will not ship, and probably only deal with people in the local area, or those that I know. Don't be creepy.

NY Jets @ OAKLAND

This season (for my Raiders) has left a lot to be desired. The Oakland Raiders are currently sitting at two wins and four losses. In all fairness, one win was to the Kansas City Chiefs (who may be picking in the top 3, in the first round, of the draft), and the other was to the poorly playing Philadelphia Eagles. I have to be honest. It's not like the wins we've had are big one. The losses we've had have been huge.

Now, currently looking at 00:34 in the first quarter,  the Raiders just had an awesome drive to the endzone, but turned it over. It's the Jet's ball... and they faked a punt for a 16-yard first down run. Ugh! It's a sad season for Oakland Raider fans. 

We have too many young guys, in too many positions, without the veterans to teach and lead the team. We also have a quarterback that is too green, too unexperienced to lead the offense of this team. We have too many turnovers. In my opinion, there really needs to be a reworking of the offensive line and quarterback positions, in the off-season.

I can't complain about the defense, however. In the last few games, the defense has really stacked up against some of the better offenses in football, and have stopped them. With players like Asomugha, Branch, Scott, and Huff, I am sure that they will continue to keep scoring low (as long as JaMarcus Russell can lessen his turnovers).

Just when I thought there was some hope, and that our offense was going to pull something together with a QB swap, we pulled it all together for a shut out! Yay! Good job Raiders! 38 - 0 Jets. Ugh! Here's looking towards next season.

Tonight's show was short (for our standards), and was pretty one-sided.
