OAKLAND , (CA)--Oakland Raiders football practice was delayed nearly
two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach Art Shell immediately suspended practice and called the police and federal investigators. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to Raider players was the GOAL LINE. Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again.

The way I heard it, it was the Chiefs practice that was delayed.

As a life long Raiders fan I am in misery with their performance since losing the Superbowl three seasons ago. I suspect the white lines are made of a material they're all allergic to- when they get near it they have a bad reaction, thus the pitiful performance.

Man, I with I had more of these pink and white wax coated animal cookies.

No Rich I'm pretty sure the Chiefs have at least won a game.

A man walked into an Oakland bar with a dachshund under his arm. The dog was wearing an Oakland Raiders jersey and helmet, and was festooned with Raiders pom-poms.

The bartender said, "Hey! No pets are allowed in here! You'll have to leave!"

The guy begged him, "Look, I'm desperate. We're both big fans, the TV is broken, and this is the only place around where we can see the game!"

After securing a promise that the dog will behave, and warning him that he and the dog will be thrown out if there's any trouble, the bartender relented and allowed them to stay in the bar and watch the game.

The big game began with the Raiders receiving the kickoff. They marched down the field, got stopped at about the 30, and kicked a field goal.

With that the dog jumped up on the bar, and began walking up and down the bar giving high-fives to everyone.

The bartender said, "Wow, that is the most amazing thing I've ever seen! What does the dog do when the Raiders score a touchdown?"

The owner replied, "I don't know, I've only had him for 4 years."

Mr. Natural: The way my brother Russell told me the story it was the Chiefs... not the Raiders. And it is Richard not "Rich".
