DON'T READ IF YOU'RE A RAIDERS FAN!!!

A Denver Bronco fan, an Oakland Raider fan and a San Diego Charger fan
were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze. All of a
sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of
alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime
of actually being caught consuming the booze, they were sentenced to
death! However, after many months and with the help of very good
lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to
life imprisonment.

By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial
finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheikh decided they could be
released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip.

As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh suddenly said,
"It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each
of you one wish before your whipping."

The Charger fan was first in line (he had drunk the least), so he
thought about this for a while and then said, "Please tie a pillow to my
back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the
whip went through. The Charger fan had to be carried away bleeding and
crying with pain when the punishment was done.

The Raider fan was next up (he almost finished an entire fifth by
himself), and after watching the scene, said "All Right! Please fix two
pillows on my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes
before the whip went through again, sending the Raider fan out crying
like a little girl.

The Bronco fan was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but
before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said, "You
support the greatest team in the world, your supporters are some of the
best and most loyal football fans in the world. For this, you may have
two wishes!"

"Thanks, your most Royal highness," the Bronco fan replies. "In
recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20,
but 100 lashes.

"Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are Also very brave, "the Sheik says with an admiring look on his face. "If 100
lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is
it to be?" the Sheik asks.

"Tie the Raider fan to my back."

I'm a Raider fan, but I read this anyway. I have nothing against fans of any other teams - you support who you choose to support, and that's fine. It was a great battle in the AFC this year.

But, I would be letting my team down if I didn't defend their honor by asking which fans are crying now?

Just win baby!
