FAMOUS LAST WORDS?

A convicted killer was put to death in Arizona on Tuesday.

His final words?

"Go Raiders!"

Robert Comer uttered that rallying cry with a smile on his face. The smile faded until he passed out and expired.

We're not sure how we feel about all of this. We're generally against the notion of capital punishment, but would be inclined to reconsider our position (swiftly) if the underlying crime was committed against a member of our family.

If nothing else, this story further proof of how strongly many people feel about their favorite football teams. And it makes us even more convinced that the league's current efforts to export the NFL to other countries could give the other kind of football a real run for its money as the most popular sport in the world.

Hard to compete with soccer for world supremacy.

You could be as poor as people from ethiopia and as small built like Indonesians, you can put up a competitive team that can play with the richer countries and bigger races in soccer. Unfortunately that isn't the case in american football where size and economy matters .

Time for the Indonesians to get Stallone over there and give out some 'roids.

Before this degenerates into a death penalty debate it should be moved somewhere else.

It doesn't surprise me that a death row inmate was a Raiders fan.

This looks like a prime candidate for SI's weekly 'Sign of the Apocalypse'.

The guy could have apologized to the family but instead stated "Go Raiders"?

My kind of football fan.

His killing spree must have started when the raiders drafted a kicker in the first round.
