The mascara...errrrrr, black face paint is going to run today.

Chiefs Insider is on CBS in the city right now. Talking Lanier right now.

I saw that last night. They know a lot of us Springfieldians travel up for the game so they show the Insider on Saturday night. It was a good one since it touched on this rivalry.

Is that Barry's thing?

No, it's the Chiefs pregame show. It comes on Sunday mornings in KC.

So the rain isn't supposed to come until the 2nd and 3rd hours of the game. A good start is essential.

It's been raining this morning in Oakland from what I heard, will stop for a little, and then start up again.

Bro it's already raining there...

I think we're headed back to the mud bowl.

Props to Oakland for playing on real grass. This game will be epic.

I'm concerned the field could totally negate Charles. He's not a mudder. Jackie Battle might get a few carries today.

I can't even begin to express how much hatred I have for these ****ers. I hate the Broncos. Truly. But the way I despise the Raiders could be classified as downright unhealthy.

So it's going to be raining in Oakland, today huh? I predict familiar images by the end of the game.

We could be a little outmatched in a power running matchup today, if the field negates our finesse. Of course those cutbacks might be especially deadly on a wet field, so who knows. Food for thought.

The feeling is mutual

They have an extra rack of beef, but we're far better conditioned. I'd bet a ton of money on it.

Who are the hate-worthy Raiders of today?

I hated Davidson, Long, Lamonica, Hubbard, Van Eagan, Otto, Blitnikof, Stabler, Casper, Villipiano, Tatum, Hayes, Haynes, Gannon, Wells, Hendricks, Matuzak, Romanowski, Blanda, Alzado, and a bunch of others.

But I'm having a hard time identifying any players that are either dirty enough, arrogant enough, or good enough to really get my ire up.

I still hate the Raiders as an organization, but without some iconic players, something is missing.
