Do you remember the scenes of Samson being taken into bondage or of other heroes who are finally captured, at least, for a little while? This makes some of us think of the Oakland Raiders, our Samsons.
Even the scene with Godzilla being captured breaks the hearts of the viewers of these old movies. Well, it is even more heartbreaking to imagine the Oakland Raiders being caught in a net of losses, bounded down by a few points with what we perceive to be senseless losses over the past seven years.
Our giant of a team, the Oakland Raiders, our Samson, who had been blinded has caused us much pain.
We have got to improve our game. When? In 2010. Why? We must win. Where? At home and otherwise. How? Let the new guys in so we can win. What? So, we can head toward a playoff and Super Bowl.
