It may only have been the first week of preseason, but that does not mean that there was any shortage of excitement as football season is well and truly back. After months of waiting, anticipation for the new season is almost over, and that means there is plenty of excitement both on and off the field. <\/p>
Over the past four days, we had a full slate of 32 teams playing 16 games, and as most of the backups went about taking care of their business, some starters also made cameo appearances for their respective teams. But there was one incident in the Seahawks and Raiders<\/a> game that caught everyone’s eye. <\/p> The Las Vegas Raiders took on the Seattle Seahawks in one of the preseason week 1 matchups. The quarterback-head coach duo of Geno Smith and Pete Carroll made their return to Lumen Field for the game against their former team. <\/p> While the game itself ended in a 23-23 draw, it was the incident between Smith and a Seahawks fan that had many people talking. Smith was seen making an obscene gesture towards the fan who held up a disgraceful sign in the stands, insulting the current Raiders’ signal caller. <\/p> The sign read “Bigger bust – Geno or JaMarcus Russell?” <\/em><\/strong><\/p>Geno Smith Angered by Seahawks Fan<\/h2>
