Busy day so far, rearranging the decor at my keyboard. Quick intros again this week as I try to catch up. Also of note to the readers, I will be at the Tacoma Dome watching the WIAA High School Football Semifinals next Friday and Saturday, so all programming over that weekend will be delayed by a total of 2-4 days. It will mark the one year anniversary of my blogging, and I'd like to thank everyone for the readership from across the globe. Here's hoping for many more years of blogging.
Oakland Raiders at Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota led off with a 12 yard touchdown run by Adrian Peterson (Ryan Longwell makes extra point).

Oakland added on with a 2 yard Michael Bush touchdown run (Janikowski extra point good). The Raiders made it 24-7 at the half with Palmer running a yard for a touchdown (Janikowski makes PAT). Oakland tacked on a few more in the third quarter as Janikowski nailed a 26 yard field goal.
