It&#8217;s not a bad ride &#8211; a mere 1,200 mile roundtrip of easy Interstate.

		<description><![CDATA[I first became a Raider fan in 1970 when I first saw Daryle Lamonica play. #3 was called &#8216;The Mad Bomber&#8217; and I loved the way that Lamonica aired out the football to the &#8216;stickum-handed&#8217; Fred Biletnikoff.

It&#8217;s also where Brett Favre will be playing football a month from now for the New York Jets.
