Interview with an Ordinary Oakland Raider Fan

It's time for a survey. Rather than assume people think a certain way, it is better to gather data and make an assessment. 

I thought I would interview an ordinary fan in a small town.

I visited a gentleman who loves professional football. He is a fan of the Oakland Raiders. He looks at the games on a big screen television.

I asked him several questions.

INTERVIEW

Damali: Did you watch the game between the New York Jets and Oakland?

Jefferson County Interviewee (JCI): Yeah. What 's wrong with those boys?

Damali: Are you talking about the Oakland Raiders?

JCI: Yes, of course.

Damali: I don't know. That's why I am asking you since you have been a fan for more than 39 years. What do you think about JaMarcus Russell?

JCI: He is not a leader, in my opinion.

Damali: Tell me more.

JCI: Those guys don't seem to know their plays. They need to study their plays.

Damali: Is there any hope for them this year?

JCI: No response.

Damali: Did you watch the game with San Diego?

JCI: Yeah. They did a little better. They aren't aggressive enough to win the game when the pressure mounts up near the end. During the days of Madden, Blanda, Lamonica, and others, that just didn't happen.

Damali: Well, I don't want to ask you too many questions and get you tired. Can I take a picture of you?

JCI: Yeah, sure.

(He fixed his cap, and straightened his shirt.)

Damali: I have to go now and get back to Harris County.

JCI: Be careful. Be good. Bye for now.
