Ramble 101: The Sea of Highlights

Uncategorized / randerson81409

At my core, I am a Raider fan. Before Fridays on the radio covering high school football, before the blogging, the podcasts, and everything else, for me, there was Raiders fandom. I remember the bad football in the 1990s watching those games with my family after long hours at the tailgate. Those seasons were bad,
