Peaches Napear Loves The Dragons

If last night's game didn't make you want to go jump off a bridge, I don't know what will. The scintillating 16-7 victory by the defending Super Bowl champs over the Redskins was nothing short of sleep inducing. Let's hope that game isn't a precursor to what we will see for the rest of the 2008 season. If it is, then soccer might finally be able to gain a little market share in this country. Heck, a lot more games like that could lead to people calling for televised curling and badminton.

The Giants and Redskins could end up being the Pillow Fight of the Week, edging the favorite coming into Week 1, Monday night's clash between the Broncos and Raiders.

Speaking of the Raiders, their summer voice Grant "Peaches" Napear was regaling those in the Sacramento region today with tales of his trip to New York to watch last night's sissy fight. He and Mike Lamb were also getting into the rest of the league while Lamb worked on polishing off a 36 pound honey glazed ham. Okay, that's not entirely true. They were mostly talking about the Raiders and Niners.

Anyway, Peaches said he would take Kurt Warner over "J.T. O'Sullivan and a heck of a lot of other quarterbacks in this league." The platitudes just keep raining down upon The Dragons for their savvy draft. If Peaches says it is, then you know it is. In all fairness to Peaches, he does occasionally call out Lamb for agreeing with the stupidest of callers. When a guy phoned today to say the Raiders needed to protect JaMarcus Russell and guard against the blitz from the corners, Lamb's reaction would have made you think he was on a conference call with the ghosts of Bill Walsh and Sid Gilman. Peaches cleverly snuck in a "yeah, every team in the NFL goes with that strategy every week." It was a nice way to remind Lamb that Al Davis won't have him killed if he disagreed with a Raider fan. I mean, where would Al find someone who could dig a hole big enough to bury Lamb? You'd need two holes...one for Lamb and one for the guy who died from exhaustion while digging the hole.

Well, a trip to the official website of the Stunting Cars beckons. May you all have the best of luck on Sunday, and may The Outlaws enjoy their stay at the top of the league standings. If nothing else, they can brag that they led for the first 72 hours of the 2008 PPFFL season.
