11th Man
As Yahoo! Sports points out, the inspiring game-winning interception on the Raiders week 5 victory over Houston has an even more interesting twist. The Oakland Raiders, who lost Al Davis the day before, had gained the lead late in the fourth quarter. Houston marched back up the field. Within the red zone and seconds left to score the game winning touchdown, Houston lined up on the offense. Oakland lined up on defense - shy one man. With 10 men on the field, the Raiders put pressure on Matt Schaub. On the run, Schaub threw the ball, and Michael Huff stepped in for the interception. Totally by accident, Oakland has Al Davis on the field as their 11th man. Gotta love those Raiders.
Bardem on Bond
With the next Bond film edging closer and closer to reality, more and more news arises. The most recent? Javier Bardem has been cast as the next Bond villain. All I have to say is, "What an incredible choice." Bardem was fantastic in No Country for Old Men. Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace were both fantastic films. Similar to my thoughts on the Voltron short earlier, I enjoy the seriousness being taken with this franchise. No more camp. Bond is a hard as nails superspy. Following the last film, he is beginning to delve into the criminal organization, Quantum, which I hope will eventually lead him to Blofeld.
