Alright, as all of you know I am not an emotional person. Well I am emotional just not sad, cry, sniff sniff emotional. I am honestly very sad tonight. As a lot of you know and some of you that dont a very good person and superfan Oaktown pirate passed away tonight. There are many things I can shrug off, but for some reason right now this one is hitting home. I see this gentleman every game, I was around him in London during the game and at the pre-game party. My sons first NFL Raider Home game, and my wifes last home game before she deployed to Africa, I went and found him and told him I needed a picture with him and my son. He dropped everything and followed me to my seats and took a picture with Colin. Colin absolutely loved it and always wants to see the picture of the Go Raider Pirate. I know a lot of people always want to talk bad about the Raider nation and there fans, superfans, and players. Azel Wendell Grasty Sr was very involved in the Raider Nation, he showed up to almost every event, stayed till the end, and treated every event like the SUPER BOWL. I had sooooo much fun hanging out with him in London, Ralley in the Valley, and at O.Co tailgating. I wish I could dedicate as much time to being MANIAC as he did as Oaktown Pirate. You will be missed my friend say hi to Al for us.
