OAKLAND -- Dr. Skull Rock told me I looked cold.
The die-hard Raiders fan, clad in a top hat (with a skull on it), skeleton costume, chains (with skulls on them) and a jersey bearing that name, diagnosed me as he walked by. I was standing along the rail splitting Sections 104 and 105 of Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, trying to take in my surroundings while he was headed to the concourse.
It was halftime of the Raiders’ Christmas Eve win over the Denver Broncos, and I was in the Black Hole, one of the NFL's most notoriously rabid fan sections.
