Rich Gannon (NFL MVP) just threw another interception 2 or 3 tonight already (2nd Quarter). Keep it up, and the Buccanners are going to win this Game. Come On Raiders - Black and Silver got to win. ---

Fucking Asshole, just threw another interception, and ran for a Touchdown. It is now 34 - 3, 3rd quarter. I am voting Rich Gannon LVP - Least Valuable Player. ---

Oakland finally scored a touchdown … makes the score look a little more respectable, if nothing else. ---

Ack, what a rout. Gannon with 5 INT’s. 48-21 in favor of the Bucs, who would a thunk it? Slee ---

I said that if he kept throwing interceptions, the Bucs were going to win. I hate the Bucs, and Rich Gannon, thanks Raiders, now I have to hear Warren Sapp’s Ass, all year, until next year. One sided Superbowl, All Bucs, that Sucks. ---

It does not suck so much for me because this is exactly what I wanted to happen. I am not so much of a Bucs fan as I am anti-Raiders. All hail the tremendous D. ---

My philosophy on the game was: **ABR** = Anybody But the Raiders! Made for an interesting afternoon - with **cadolphin** rooting for the Traitors… HA! ---

Although cliché, the pirate vs. pirate aesthetic had a vaguely Dadaist appeal. Gannon’s use of the sidearm delivery late in the game to convey _ennui_ was both ostentatious and fatuous. Why is this in Café Society?
