Not loving the Mendalorian nickname here. That needs to die out quick.

Unfortunately, that is their local coverage so they can call him whatever they want......

As long as it remains local. I don’t need to hear Collinsworth or, God forbid, a not fully dried out Romo making a hash of that thing.

Don't worry, Romo would refer to Fernando as Mahomes. Fifteen, schmifteen what's the difference?

Does Disney own the local coverage only explanation for that terrible nickname

Did Hemby or Williams see the field tonight?  I didn’t notice them.  #80 is a Hoosier though.

Poor 'Nando. The friggin' Raiders have absolutely no discipline -- six penalties in the first quarter and a half or so. Difficult to get into any sort of rhythm. 

Is Tom Allen on the Raiders staff?  I always thought that was a trademark of his IU teams.

I checked it yesterday. If you have NFL network, they're replaying the game overnight and sometime on Friday afternoon. It might be better to wait and see if some Raiders yotuber makes a compilation video of Fernandos pass attempts and avoid having to watch Raiders/Cardinals..yuck.

The NFL made one
