Tonight we'll be listening and watching to the show... and yes, I'll even be giving you up to date information on what's going on in Tinsel Town as the Academy Awards will be playing in the background... And hoping we won't be inundated with TOO MANY POLITICAL STATEMENTS...((sigh)).  What's the over/under on that... 10? Since I was dutifully broadcasting and only kept a cursory eye on the screen, you'll have to tell me how many of those "Holier Than Though" Speeches actually were given....

Hockey is down to its last ten games before the Playoffs, so seating strategy is in FULL SWING.  I'm still stoked about seeing how my team can improve for next year... is YOUR TEAM going to be playing past May? Baseball is nearly finishing its first month of the season, and the A's have made great strides since their beginning nose-dive... while the Yankees are a surprise out of the gate in all the wrong ways (although they took 3 of 4 in Cleveland this weekend.  The Jays/Rays met in Tampa with Toronto showing who's boss in the AL East.  

Having said all that, tonight's discussion centered on.... guess what.... FOOTBALL.  First off, our deepest condolences go out to the Davis family in Arizona and throughout the country, as we learned tonight we lost a truly good soul and dynamic supporter of Raider Nation in #36... Hero of that frigid cold Playoff game in Cleveland... "RED RIGHT 88" and THE INTERCEPTION most famous in Raiders' lore prior to Jack Squirek's in Super Bowl XVIII and after Willie Brown's in Super Bowl XI.

On a personal note, I was humbled to learn of my upcoming honor scheduled for Raider Nation Explosion II this July in Madera, California...  and I thank Mob Boss for telling me over my show... it truly was and will remain a humbling honor... and I thank YOU Raider Nation as well as M&M Productions.  Otherwise, sit back and join the Captain for tonight's show...
