It's times like this (and not necessarily last Sunday) that I'm glad I'm a Raider fan. Apparently, this, and other news rags, will allow us to keep our mascot... for the time being.

Here's some free advice for all of the Indian-honoring schools and clubs out there... let them go. Let's see how the Native American lobby likes no mention of their culture at all. Here are some possible alternatives...

Washington Wannabes
Atlanta's Really Good Baseball Team
Cleveland White Settlers
FSU Gator Poop
Group of People Who Like to Play Sports from Illinois
Kansas City Industrialists

...you get the picture.

Craig Kilbourn had a great comment about the post-game riots last night: After the game fans rioted in Oakland, setting fires, breaking windows and damaging buildings, causing over a million dollars in improvements.

My Dad's high school teams, he made all city in BB, were known as the Havelock "Engineers", the kind that blew the whisle on the train! In those days I doubt there was an aboriginal American in the bunch, or at least darn few of them. Lots of Swedes though, at least on the Burlington. That was in the same city whose "Urinal and Star" now thinks that team names are chosen to "dis" some group or other. The school no longer exists, having been consolidated into Lincoln Northeast. I suppose they think that Lincol East's "Spartans" is offensive to those of Greek heritage?
