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.
