For me, making the playoffs is the goal.   In JB, I often rested my starters down the stretch after I clinched the division to avoid injury.   If I had won the division with 80 wins, and I think I could have a time or two, I would have felt no shame.   But the other three owners should be embarrassed.

I was one of the other owners, should I still feel embarrassed?

Could you give me an update on how the Raiders camp is going? I haven't bothered to keep up yet.

Yes.

Incredibly upbeat.   DH-B has been getting a lot of praise as has McClain.   Trevor Scott has been lauded.  So has Campbell.  I think McFadden had a hammy.  I think they're going to be pretty good.   I can see .500 if Campbell doesn't suck as bad as Russell(if that's possible).  Maybe 10 wins if he's just average.

I would take 10 wins right now, wouldn't you? Will 10 wins win the divison?

10 wins will make the playoffs.  I'd be thrilled with that.  In fact, if they could keep me interested until December, I'd be pretty happy.  It's been a long time since the Raiders have played a meaningful game after Thanksgiving.

Would that be circa 2002?

the Raiders still have a football team?

Do you really think the Raiders have a shot at winning 10 games?

why do broads talk so much? especially every day, all day at work?

It would.

They took a few years off but they had an organization.

Yeah. STL, KC(2), Denver, Seattle, Houston.  That's 6.    I don't think a win over SD is out of the question.  MIA is coming to the Black hole.  That's 8.  A couple of road upsets(TN, AZ, SF, JAX, Pitt) and it's done.

The media seems to gloss over the fact that the female accomplice of the Arizona prison escapee is not only his cousin, but his fiancee. Is marrying your cousin now considered "normal" in Mediaville?

Women like to talk.  They're uncomfortable with silence.  No idea why. 

I think the story is it took 6 weeks to catch them.   I didn't know they were engaged cousins until this morning.

After a few days in Cooperstown, I feel like my mantle as the whiniest owner in HBD is being challenged.

Shouold I hand over the crown, or do I still have a fighting chance?

You can whine with the best of 'em.  Don't give up so easily.

is it true, what they say?
