That's an interesting coping mechanism for a fan of a bad team that just lost 3 of its best 5 players.

Raiders signed Boss for half of what Zach Miller got from Seattle:

ESPN Raiders, Kevin Boss sign deal

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants lost a key player when tight end Kevin Boss signed with the Oakland Raiders on Friday. Boss signed a $16 million, four-year contract with the Raiders. The deal includes $8 million in guarantees. The Raiders, who were looking for a tight end after losing Zach Miller to the Seahawks, announced the deal.

"It's disappointing," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "We were very much involved. But the decision is the decision. We wish him well." Boss, who worked out for the Raiders Wednesday, was fifth in receptions last season with 35 catches for 531 yards and five touchdowns. The 6-foot-6 player was one of Eli Manning's most trusted targets and had caught a total of 16 touchdowns the past three seasons.

Boss, who caught 119 passes with 18 touchdowns in four seasons with the Giants, gives the Raiders a 6-foot-6, 235-pound downfield target. He also won a Super Bowl ring with New York in his rookie season. Losing Boss hurts because he provides Manning with a tall safety valve across the middle.

That's because Boss is half the player nitwit.

of course Chiefs fans hate it, but then again they are smarter about NFL offense than Manning.

Sorry, where are those posts that discuss how Chiefs fans hate 2 TE sets?

Neither one is a player nitwit. They're both bright young men & two of the top TEs that were available. Boss is the better blocker, Zach is the better receiver, but they sure as heck ain't player nitwits.

CoMo has a stiffy for Boss, and he signs with the Raiders. So this will turn out great.
