I hardly ever get to see them on TV out here (WA) either... My mom tapes them and sends 'em out... :0)
You are probably a bit more serious about them than I am. I became a fan in the late 70's or so, a converted Cowboy fan. Not everyone grows out of that, but I did...
I didn't realize that the Pats and Raiders had a history. First I have /heardseen of that terrible call in the 70's. And then the Jack Tatum/Daryl Stingly trajedy. Jack is probably my favorite Raider of all time, but that is a pretty short list...
