• "Just wanted to pass along my extreme contempt for the Raiders. I am so glad you got your asses kicked in the Super Bowl. Seeing senile Al "I'm going to sue everybody" Davis lose the biggest game of them all, on the biggest stage of them all, could not have made me more happy." -- D5RIVER Respond to this message |
