Well, ladies, looks like it's that time of year again.

Firstly, let me get something out of the way. To the KC fans who came to Silver and Black Pride after Al's passing away, thank you for your condolences and class during the time. I'm sure if there is an afterlife, Mr Davis and Mr Hunt are preparing to watch the game in the big owners' box right now. And probably death staring at each other.

Now that I've gotten the sappy BS out the way, let's focus on the game.

There are NFL divisional rivalries, and then there's the AFC West. I hate your kind, you hate mine, but I've still come over to talk about my Raiders to you lot this week.

Of course there's going to be plenty of smack talk - it wouldn't be right if there wasn't. I've read the rules of your site and will keep to them though.

Just do me two small favours:
- rec this post so it stays on top
- don't ask me about Carson Palmer.
