Oakland Raiders Break the Pattern and Win Two Consecutive Games: Let's Celebrate

Some of us lost our appetites because the past few days have been so emotional.

Others probably didn't like the fact that the data indicated that Jason Campbell and Colt McCoy's data was too close for comfort.

Similar to what happened to Jim Plunkett in the 1980s, Kyle Boller now has a chance to lead the team as starting quarterback. The broken leg of the quarterback who preceded Plunkett was unfortunate. That turn of fate, however, is a factor in the Oakland Raiders getting to the Super Bowl in 1980.

If history repeats itself, this could mean that the Oakland Raiders fate has changed.

It's unfortunate that Campbell may be out for the season. One book of wisdom says that "all things work together for good." Enough said.

I yipped and yelled during the game. I watched it closely. I paid attention to the moves and decisions of the quarterbacks because I had done research on Campbell and McCoy.

Now, after much frustration during the week, and so much elation today since the Oakland Raiders defeated the Cleveland Browns, I know that it is time to celebrate.

Now, don't let the celebration be the type that causes you to have a hangover. Well, some of you may be able to still function and go to work tomorrow. Your tolerance may be higher than others. 

I suggest you try something that will not diminish your physical strength and mental alertness.

I tried the drink pictured. Yes, it has a lot of calories but I burned up so many yelling during the game, that this drink will simply replace what was depleted.

Go Raiders and Raider Nation and celebrate!

Don't let the celebration last two long because there is still much work to be done in 2011.
