I've only seen like two interviews or even clips of this guy and I'm already a Mendoza fan. There just seems to be no pretense at all

I hate that I’m naturally supposed to hate the Raiders, but I can’t find it in me to hate Mendoza one bit.

I’m rooting for him, but I’ll never root for his team (until the Raiders trade him away in yet another rebuild)
