Random side story: when I was a kid I had the best football in the neighborhood by far. This football was perfect - nice leather, easy to grip, a perfect heft to carry or throw. 100 percent of the time when we were playing sandlot, my football was the one that was selected as the game ball.

I moved into a new neighborhood at one point, and played a couple of games in the vacant lot. One day there was a knock on my door and one of the kids said, "Hey, we're about to play football over in the lot. Can we use your ball?"

I said, "I'm in! Let me get my ball."

The kid got a surprised look on his face and froze up. Then he said, "Oh. Uhhh, yeah, I guess you can play too if you want."

Damn. That story hurts to read.

Yeah. That is why I laugh when Raiders fans say if he sells the team he can be rich. Mark doesn't care about the money. He wants to own the team. He is one of 31 owners. It is a select club. People want to hang with him because of that.

He sells the club and Charles Woodson isn't around any more. He is just a rich man with a bowlcut. All those invitations dry up.
