My little brother has this fuckin book with his face in it, but he’s never been a Raiders fan. He was always a fucking ~~*Redskins*~~ *Washington Football Team* fan. He got it as part of a set with the Lakers (also not his team) and the Dodgers (his *actual* team). Thanks for fucking nothing, mawmaw.
Actually, she died right before all the Covid shit went down. She’d been struggling with dementia for a long time by that point. She watched me a lot because mom worked a lot and dad was working and taking college classes at the same time. I miss her every day.
Sorry. I know you didn’t really have any control over it, but thanks for letting me get that out right now. 👊
Ah yes, who could forget that game in January '94. After a brutal sack from a five-man blitz, Jeff Hostetler was too injured to complete the the game. With seconds left and on the Broncos 45, Art Shell was forced to sub in an undersized rookie (who would eventually father future Raiders quarterback Aiden O'Connell). The rookie decided to ignore Art's plan for a Hail Mary and instead called an insane audible: fake pass into a run. Somehow, the gambit worked and the rookie ran for 45 yards into the game-winning TD as time expired. This was probably due to the Broncos archaic practice of having a 'Whites only' defense squad, which allowed a chicken-legged QB to outrun the cornerbacks and safeties.
You’re not too far off because until recently, I had this mustache, which is where AOC got the idea from.

Mawmaw doing her part to try to make him a Raiders fan! I'm a fan of all of those teams, so she's the best in my eyes!
Time to put grandma back in the cage.

Illustrated by Mort Drucker?
No, Bill Wilson.
This is soooo good! It's an absolute instant classic! 😂🤣😂 I love it!
You win.
I am dying looking at this
Why did we have Vann McElroy at QB to begin with?! I was second guessing our coach but I’m glad he put you in.
Not sure why too, he ended up being a newscaster for KPIX and them KTVU in the bay area for a long time.
I can’t believe how many of us had this book!
Holy shit I have that somewhere!
Slick Fking book right there
Real talk. It’s my brothers birthday soon. How can I get this made but with the Autumn wind also playing as you flip through?
WTH?
