man did you ever get that right... "Don't go to bed early".
While I collapsed into the fetal position nearly frozen in fear Baker stared the devil in the eyes and without flinching slapped him upside the head.
Song lyrics popped into my head - "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try againI done told you once you SOB i'm the best that's ever been".
Quite honestly, when I saw that last Raider punt rolling end over end, hopping and bouncing and dancing along the sideline all the way down to the 2 yard line, I was thinking to myself. "Man, we really are snakebit this year."
Then that glorious last drive occurred. When it was all over, I had that same "ecstatic but numb all over feeling" as I did after the aerial show with the Chiefs several years ago.
Dunno if you guys saw the Raiders punter doing the throat-slash after his punt stopped on the 2. Cannot remember which game or team this happened to, but didn't somebody get an unsportsmanlike penalty once for doing the throat-slash?
Anyways, it all evened out. Mayfield pulled a Stafford, and stole the Raiders soul last night, eh?
