Do Raiders fans ask ‘Where’s the beef?’

What do Oakland Raiders fans eat during home games?

The stereotype ranges everywhere from nails to raw, just-sacrificed animal flesh, but according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Raiders fans are served the second-most vegetarian-friendly stadium food in the NFL.

PETA praised the Raiders for a menu that includes veggie dogs and burgers, baked potatoes, peanuts, popcorn and pretzels.

“Raiders fans have enough to worry about -- they don’t need to be thinking about the clogged arteries and cruelty to animals that come with eating meat,” PETA Assistant Director Dan Shannon said in a news release.

San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium topped the list, perhaps predictably. But surprising runners-up included Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field at No. 3 and Green Bay’s Lambeau Field -- supposed home of bratwurstmania -- at No. 5.

Trivia time

When did the franchise now known as the Arizona Cardinals last win an NFL championship?

Watch out, Romeo

Romeo Crennel is still employed as coach of the Cleveland Browns, though you’d never have guessed it by listening to Marty Schottenheimer being interviewed on Sirius NFL Radio on Monday.

Schottenheimer talked about the possibility of returning to the Browns as general manager if Bill Cowher were hired as head coach.

“That would be very interesting for a couple of reasons,” Schottenheimer said. “You know, Bill and I have remained very, very close friends throughout our NFL careers, and it goes back to when he was a player [for the Browns] and I was an assistant. I would be less than candid if I didn’t say that that is, at the very least, intriguing. But there are so many movable parts there it would be like a Rubik’s Cube.”

And nobody has pried the cube from Crennel’s fingers, yet.

Trivia answer

In 1947, the Chicago Cardinals won the NFL championship.

And finally

Florida Gators Coach Urban Meyer, speaking to the Tampa Tribune, on the BCS computers, which had Florida ranked third behind Oklahoma and Texas:

“I kept hearing about the computer. The way I know about computers is you push ‘on’ and sign on the Internet every once in a while and do a spread sheet every once in a while. Other than that, I don’t know what goes into it.”
