I went to the game. Brought my 10 year old daughter. She had a blast...a lot of people in our section (just above the black hole) seemed to have brought their kids. Everyone maintained their language and we had a good time.
She asked me why that big guy number 53 (Romanowski) hates that guy wearing number 84. I said "Shannon Sharpe?" She said, "Yeah...everytime he gets the football, that Romanowski guy knocks him out." (this was after Romanowski's 4th or 5th hard hit on Sharpe, just prior to Shannon's actual K.O.)
We had a good laugh at that one.
She later asked if the Broncos had enough people on their team. I asked why. She said she was worried that if everyone that got hurt couldn't play, they would run out of players and we would have to leave early.
I am proud of my little Raider fan. She got a taste of the Raiders I got to see when I went to my first game in 1967.
Judging from what I saw, I think the Bronco's locker room ran out of ice and tylenol pretty fast.
Good luck to the Raiders. A lot of these "old timers" have paid their dues but have never won a superbowl. I think the Raiders have the right kind of hunger and desire. Hell, bring on Deion...he might be a little rusty but he can join the party if he wants.
