No doubt I'll moan for the next 4 months about not having Sky SPorts Extra, but it's worth it.
At least the Patriots - Raiders game is on Sky Sports 1, soI'll watch it.
So yeah, go Raiders (or more specifically, go Randy Moss's hair) and beat those scummy Patriots for winning the Superbowl again :-(
Fantasy NFL doesn't start until week 3 though (I think), and there's a salary cap this year (Booo), though I'll still come top again this year (If we all enter, that is).
That's all.
Raiders ftw.
But Seahawks for the Superbowl.

True.
I think LaMont Jordan on the Raiders team will be the key signing, not Randy Moss or any other offensive player. What has been lacking in Oakland for years now is a running back, and in LaMont Jordan they've found the kind of guy who can't make a 10 yard run every play, but can do the job the Raiders need their running back to do, which is run some clock time and gain a bit of yardage, something which never happened before.
Last season it was pass, pass, pass, and while it made Kerry Collins' stats looked good, it meant that we gave the ball away far, far too quickly, and this coupled with a poor defense resulted in a lot of points conceeded.
Moss should be great, though. Him, Jerry Porter and Ronald Curry is easily the 2nd best receiving corps behind the Colts. Maybe even better than their main 3, in fact.
They played awfully in the Superbowl.
And I forgot that the Pats lost their offensive AND defensive coordinators, so that'll work against them too.
I'm hoping they don't.
The Raiders will probably lose - pretty much everyone loses against the Pats, but I'll watch just in case - It'll be one of about 3 games I'll get to see.
They usually don't even conceed 9.
Which is why I hate them.
I'm staying up to watch it and I'll probably still be awake at 5am when it goes into overtime because the score will be 49-49 at the end of the fourth quarter.
I'll watch/tape every match Sky Sports/whoever have on, because even if it looks like a boring match on paper, who's to say it won't actually turn out amazing in the end?
No point in watching then.
Damn.
But you have Randy Moss now.
Decisions.
I'll watch, but only because I got an email through from NFLuk saying if I email them with the scorer of the first touchdown, then I could win a signed Matt Hasselbeck Seahawks top.
Although a leather superbowl jacket (runners up prize) sounds cooler.
I want the autograph though.
