Right when you start to trust the Raiders they travel to the east coast and lay an egg, even though this was preseason it will be a good lesson that I will remember for the regular season. One that I learned long ago and wasn't paying attention to.
Going with the Pack this week because I don't bet on baseball and I need some action (Small of course) Blake Martinez was probably the steal of the draft in the 4th round for the Packers at LB. I think he is a 10 year player for them. I always like it when Aaron Rodgers goes home (Bay Area) to play a game whether it is preseason or not. I will never forget the time he sat in the green room at the draft while 21 other teams passed him by. He was a niner fan all of his life while growing up going to Butte JC and Cal and I just hope McCarthy plays him the whole first half. GB +1
