I guess I’ve just been super fortunate. I remember taking my dad’s car to the dealer the week after we won SB 54 and I sit down in the waiting area and this guy decked out in Raiders gear sits across from me.
We both avoided eye contact

I remember talking to a Raiders fan at a BWW in Pittsburg, KS in the summer of 2018. Nice guy, but he was convinced that we'd struggle for a few years with Mahomes. I was like I dunno, our offense was already doing well under Smith, and this kid might come out of the gate playing well.
He was sure this was the Raiders' window to win the division.
I often think of how perturbed that guy's football fandom must have become the last six years, and smile.
