On a Navajo [whoa oh] Radio

It's been a long week and some days, and I'm just now catching up on world events --earthquake n Hawaii, "nucular bomb" test in North Korea, and football.

I've had enough of the really bad news, so I won't talk about that. But I will talk about football. Last Sunday, I watched Sunday Night Football featuring Denver vs. Oakland. With the exception of some good defensive plays for Denver, the game sucked. That's no shocker. What's shocking is how the NFL insists on featuring this AFC West division rivalry in a national prime time slot [or Oakland in any prime time slot!]. Sure, Denver vs. Oakland has been a perennial Monday Night Football matchup that has produced some high-scoring affairs and last-minute victories. But the Raiders have been absolute crap for the last several years and have shown no signs for improvement in the near or long term. It's time to put Oakland on the "Not Ready for Prime Time" shelf with the Houston Texans and the Detroit Lions [and Buffalo, who handed Detroit their first victory of the season].

So I'm checking out NFL.com and see this news piece: Raiders-Cardinals game broadcast in Navajo.

"'Ya'at'eeh Navajo Nation aa'doo' ahxe'hee',' (Hello Navajo Nation and thank you) said Raiders chief executive Amy Trask. 'We again embrace the opportunity to unite the Raider Nation with the voice of the Navajo Nation.'"

Thank you for the crappy football game, pale face.
