Setting up for a lifetime of disapointment

My Child was born on February 2nd, Caimbree Taylor Williamson. I just had to get her something "Raiders". Now she gets to watch Oakland lose with Dad.

Cute kid! I too enjoy dressing my kids in "their" favorite team's outfits!

To TN: When naming kids after athletes I always remember Willie Mays Aikens! Worked for him... well, until the drug problem.

April 17th? We are due April 12th! You know how the dates go. We will probably end up having the kids on the same day. Havent picked out a name yet but if its a boy I am leaning toward Matthew the 2nd or Emmitt the 1st

I have a son due any day know, March 8th due date and they will induce labor on the 15th if he is not born by then. He will be named Payton (Walter not Manning) after his dad's favorite football player. BTW I couldn't slip the name Ozzie past the wife

my son didn't get an athletes name, but he did get jimi hendrix's middle name marshal.

Wow ! All these kids due around the same time ! Were the boards down for an extended period of time around 9 months ago ???

Red Sox fans know all about a lifetime of disappointments, but the moment eventually came. There's always hope

Maybe the Raiders will be on the top of the heap by the time Caimbree is old enough to really enjoy the game

My Dad always told me if your gonna dream... dream big

I named my Kid Gordon after my Dad, but I think of Gordie Howe, heh heh.

Congratulations!

I've been a Raider fan since 1970 and I feel some of your pain.

But, as OCD as I can be about the hobby, I was TWICE that about the Raiders.

I have seen it all, from the immaculate reception to their first SB win. I have seen Blanda come in to replace an ailing Lamonica - score a TD, kick the PAT and then come back to kick the winning FG!!!

I used to get depressed when they lost on Sunday! Then one day I saw the light...

Now I enjoy the wins and accept the losses.

I would teach your daughter to celebrate the wins with joy and accept the losses with dignity and the resolve that there's always next week.

Again, Congratulations on the Raider's newest fan!

I hate to be rude, but people from Detroit really, really, really, really, really don't want to hear people from other cities gripe about their NFL teams

I feel your pain. I'm a Royals fan!

Our first is due July 4th. I guess I know what else has been going on besides hanging out here!
I also rationalize that what I'm adding to my collection will someday go to my son when he gets older!

Al Davis can't live forever (recent news item showed him going into the Raiders office using a walker) and once he's out of the picture maybe we'll get some good new ownership. One can only hope by the time your kid is old enough they'll at least be back to respectability.
