Holy shit. Holy fucking shit. What I witnessed today wasn't just a sloppy, poorly officiated slugfest. It was literally one tiny ass little dude taking an entire shitty team and putting them on his tiny little shoulders and winning a football game on his own. When the Raiders traded homegrown linebacker Kirk Morrison to the Jags for a 4th round pick that they used on Ford, I will admit that I was pissed. His rep sounded an awful lot like another wide receiver they drafted who hasn't exactly paid off. "Track guy, better athlete than football player". Let there be no mistake, Jacoby Ford is a football player. This team needed someone to slap the shit out of Jason Campbell. They needed someone on offense other than DMC to say OH HELL NAW, WE ARE NOT LOSING THIS ONE! Ford did just that, returning the second half kickoff for a TD after Campbell did another one of his patented first half Jamarcus Russell impressions. Without Zach Miller, Louis Murphy and the eternally injured Chaz Shillens, they needed someone who could catch a pass without lining up in the backfield first. Ford did that as well, catching 6 for 148 yards, including a pass on the final drive in the 4th where he straight up ripped an interception out of the hands of Brandon Flowers, setting up the game tying field goal. In OT he hauled in a another clutch sliding catch on another horribly under thrown Campbell wounded duck that lead to the game winner. This team was without 3 of its best players and got penalized in every conceivable way. Not to mention that they played without an challenges from mid way though the second quarter because Tom Cable will seemingly challenge anything. CB Chris Johnson was used like a plastic fuck doll in the 1st half, yet made a couple big plays in the second. Tyvon Branch left the game in 3rd with a concussion. This was a game that the Raiders have typically lost over the last 8 years, and yet they found a way. They have their first 3 game win streak since 2002. They're 3-0 in the division. They're going into the much needed bye week with a winning record. They played a home game that wasn't blacked out. Something is starting to happen here, and it's about fucking time. The Raiders are officially fun to watch again, and the Chiefs may have just started their long descent back down to Earth.

JACOBY FORD, I WANT TO HAVE YOUR RETARDED BABY!

I'm happy for you, friendo.
I will enjoy this while I can, but I always have this feeling of remorse in the back of my mind because if anyone deserves a little sunshine in their lives, it's got to be the Lions fans.
Then I drink a beer and it goes away.
Oddly enough, that's also how I combat Lions related misery.
First 3 game win streak since 2002.
First time winning their home game against the Chiefs since 2002.
First time they've been over .500 this late in a season since 2002.
There's a lot of good things the Raiders haven't done since 2002, it's nice to see them doing them again. Also nice to see them finally get a home game on TV and positively reinforce the sellout with an actual win.
as the parent of a child with special needs I take great offense at your use of the word retarded. the last time I checked there was nothing funny about the word retarded. don't you know anything?
Anonymous,
As the parent of a child who cannot stop laughing, I take great offense at your use of the word funny. The last time I checked there was nothing humorous about the word funny. Don't you know anything?
Seriously, it's been hell. The little motherfucker just won't stop laughing. I've tried everything - holding his head underwater, slapping him, taping his mouth shut, holding his eyes open while I show him pictures of the holocaust - but nothing seems to work.
I'm just kidding, anonymous. I don't have a child, but if I did he'd probably be retarded and so I take offense at your use of the phrase "special needs." Just because my hypothetical boy is retarded doesn't mean that he needs anything special.
Was a fun game. Keep the posts coming can't read CKC since I was unjustly banned but at least I can still get my fill from a few of the best posters there here. Pretty fucking cool that Sarah Palin is reading your blog.
Thank you, Lord Anonymous. Tell me who you are and I will see if I can fix whatever situation you hath found thyself in.
I love my retarded son. Also, the banned guy is most likely Cox.
I posted that Neil but it probably was justifiable. Don't troll the trolls. I think I have been banned from every message board I ever posted at including the original Kaiju. It's a gift. I miss a few things about the Eagles message board and the fuckers now have my IP banned and I am too lazy to use proxies for message boards.
Oh dude, did we ever get to the bottom of the whole thing where people thought you were a turncoat? I tried to defend you as best as I could (poorly) but the mob needed their pound of flesh. I'll see what I can do.
I spake against all bannings in the wake of that reign of terror but I was shouted down and beaten about the head.
So it looks like you were locked in SexPred's basement, but you have been sprung. Post away, my friend!
