What to do when your Pro Football Team is a Dog?

Sue the Raiders are a dog team.

I turned off the TV when the Raiders ran one all the way back from a kick off and then the Patriots on the very next play did the same thing.

There is not a place worse suited for a rainy day then the Oakland Coliseum. It is dank it is dark and with all of the concrete there is nothing poetic to see.

Bob and I shot one game there with the Seahawks in town. The result was there lovely Olympus cameras ended up with water between the lenses. The tele extenders didn't really work and the conditions were such that under that stands was much preferable to playing or watching the game. What a bust. I think the first game that dad shot down on the field was also in such horrid conditions. Those poor guys along the sidelines that have to get a shot.

I think that dad has the right idea about when you team hits the cellar and doesn't come up to see the light in the season. Go out there and prune on your trees.

This week I heard the most likely candidate for his wrath was the lemon tree.

Then again there is always next year...
