As I mentioned in the Raiders’ season preview, I made a pact with myself to not watch football this year. I’ve actually held to it, which means that the only football I’ve seen has been the occasional highlight, but I’ve kept up with things reasonably well via gamecasts and fantasy football. Which is how it’s happened that I’m aware that the Raiders are headed into their bye weekend with a 3-2 record, which is good enough for second place in the AFC West. Their victories haven’t been anything to crow about, with wins over the Broncos, Colts, and Bears, and losses to the Chiefs and Vikings. If their offense works, they win. If not, they don’t. They’ve definitely had a few “That’s My Raiders!” trademark moments, like almost letting the Colts come back in garbage time and blowing a 17-point lead against the Bears before eking out a win, but in general they’ve been pretty competent. Rookie running back Josh Jacobs has been spectacular, and it looks like the team has shaken off the Antonio Brown blues and should be able to put together a halfway decent season.
But that’s about all I know, so instead of talking out my ass like I did during the Rugby World Cup preview (Watch rugby! It’s fun!), I’m just going to move on to something a bit more fun. Here’s a collection of band names we brainstormed having to do with Trump’s imminent impeachment. Contributions were made by reverendmayhem, cuntler, Low Commander, Sharkbait, wcs, and bfc, and hopefully nobody else that I’ve forgotten.

Note: there is no stock pick for this week. USO and SLV have been pretty flat, so we’ll just let them sit tight for another week.

With KC in that division, I don’t see the need for a Raiders anything…

It sounds like the most popular music genre in the U.S.
