I'm a Broncos fan, and I still think we need John Elway back as QB. I finally saw my first Broncos game last year- in Denver- and it was 1 of the whopping 4 games they won last season, and they won BIG!!

I'm not a crazy crazy nutcase fan, but I am very much a fan. And I HATE the Raiders. Should be an interesting first week MNF! There's a cool divey bar near us that has all the games on, but there are way too many scary Raiders fans who go there, so I am going to either watch at home or go someplace else.

Oh, Ishould say though, I have a few Raiders fan friends, one of whom gave Genever a Broncos collar and me Broncos earrings a few years ago. One of the very few unscary Raiders fans I've known.

My mom is a Seahawks fan- she is crazy. Since she lives in PA (Eagles country- we both HATE the Eagles), she goes to a local sports bar to see the Seattle games, and she brings all her gear with her. She has this little Seahawks mouse figuring that was actually a tree ornament, and a tiny Seahawks mug, and she wears her blue and green beads, jersey, hat, and maybe something else, I forget, but she has the bartender fill the "Little Guy's" mug with beer too, and he gets to drink when they score, and at the half and at the end.

Yes, this happens for real, I am not making this up, and the bartenders quickly learn. She said someone recently called it her Traveling Seahawk Voodoo Alter. My mom is a nut, but huge sports fans usually are.

Oh, and because of the Superbowl in... 2006 maybe? where the Seahawks lost to Pittsburgh because of BAD CALLS all over the place (and Steelers fans agreed), I'm not allowed to like the Steelers. I don't particularly care about them either way, but mom says no!
