The Autumn Wind
composed by tom hedden
featuring the voice of john facenda

The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along
swaggering boisterously
His face is weather beaten
He wears a hooded sash
With his silver hat about his head
And a bristly black moustache
He growls as he storms the country
A villain big and bold
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold
The Autumn wind is a RAIDER
Pillaging just for fun
He'll knock you 'round and upside down
And laugh when he's conquered and won.

T minus 4 days until Super Sunday XXXVII (the super bowl; it took roman numerals, and turned them into - roman numerals)....
this is the year of the RAIDER, in which they rob the bucs of their top draft picks and millions of dollars - all before conquering them in the super bowl. the juices are already flowing as i am hardly able to wait for the final battle to begin. in what many are calling the chucky bowl, there's many intriguing sub plots; talk about your reality tv - the popular coach of a successful team is fired (dungy), to later be replaced by a coach in which reqired them to give up a king's ransom (gruden), he left behind his former team in which he was a popular coach who had turned there franchise around from dissappointing year after year to super bowl contenders; not only leave though, but he left in a fashion upsetting many of his former players; and now he comes back to face his former team, not to mention the new leader of his former team (callihan) the man he hired for that team, on the biggest stage in the world....SUPER BOWL XXXVII....now the outcome will be decided by crushing blows laid out on the opposing teams in a chess like sophisticated fashion which is known as football.
i'd have to say my favorite trio, the top 3 weapons of MVP gannon: rice, brown, and garner....i only say that group b/c they were the easiest ones to group into a trio - b/c the RAIDERS are formed of an entire team of entirely equally important components.
i guess that's all i have to say about all that's important in the world at the moment.
