And while I'm at it, I am completely blown away by the criticism thrown Richard Seymour's way for saying the Raiders were going to the playoffs. Anyone who has actually listened to his radio interview this week on Two Deep Zone 1530 Homer in Cincinnati could tell that Seymour's "guarantee" was taken out of context. He was practically goaded into it. Seymour was asked, point-blank, if the Raiders were going to the playoffs. What was he supposed to say, NO?!?
Maybe he should have fallen back into the dry, cliche of "one day at a time," but then, media would have jumped on him for that. OK, off my soap box now.,..
