Raiders

Last week, Laura and I were either watching or listening to the Raiders game. At the end of a play, the Raider's tight end was slow getting up. While he was still on the ground, the commentator said, "The Raiders certainly can't afford to lose him."

Dear Commentator,

What the fuck does that mean? Are you referring to this particular game? They're down by 3 touchdowns with 4 minutes left. Are you referring to their season? Their something like 3-11. Are you implying their hopes of finishing the season with 4 wins have been dashed?

Not only can the Raiders "afford to lose" their tight end, they can afford to lose the entire team! In fact, if the entire team was lost in a plane crash, they couldn't do much worse. Seriously, if the Raiders will rebuilt next year from an expansion draft, they could probably win 5 games.

Thanks
