group therepy

josh: Hi my name is Josh, I am an Oakland Raider fan.

all: hi josh

josh: Well I guess it started in grade school when i would watch the cartoon show All Sports All Stars and Bo Jackson was my hero.

p1: Oh H#$$ yeah, i remember that sh*& !! Bo Jackson, Wayne Gretsky, and Michael Jordan all out saving the world and telling good life lessons and morals and sh*&. that show was the bomb. for real

josh: ...So yeah now i'm living with this pain of following a pretty consistantly crappy team that keeps loosing it's legends. first Madden can't announce intelligently anymore (maybe he couldn't at all, but hey he does one heck of a tinactin commercial), Howie Long sells his soul to Radio Shack. (curse you Teri Hatcher), and now this season we have to deal with the loss of an Icon in Gene Upshaw. probably one of the biggest stars to come from the Raiders.

leader: let's all take a moment to pause, reflect, and pour out a beer for our homie

josh: So needless to say I probably won't be picking Oakland to win the super bowl this year. but I'm also torn because i cannot pick any other teams. so I came to this group to try and help me with my Raider Nation Pride.

leader: we all stumble sometimes and yes while tempting to rout for the Eagles to win the super bowl we have to stop and say is it worth it to turn our backs on our team?

what to get from this session:
Not everyone cheers for a good team but hey if cubs fans can do it for over 100 years i can handle it for a few seasons or more.
My pick to win this years super bowl is the Philadelphia Eagles
To the man who changed football on every level from player to the pres. of the union Gene Upshaw
oh and by the way if Oakland beats your team this year I will laugh at you and do a little dance
Later, Josh
