You see a pigeon.. they see an angel.

By John Jagler

It was THE highlight of last week's NFL games.  A pigeon on the field at the Raiders game jumped in formation and had perfect "lane discipline" during a kickoff.  While we had a good chuckle about the video, turns out the Raiders were thinking something completely different.  They took it as a sign that it was their lost at sea teammate Marquis Cooper.  They've kept the special teams demon's locker as is.  The Raiders are  wearing his number on their helmets and they say he's never out of their thoughts.   Justin Fargas tells a Sacramento radio station "It seemed comfortable on the football field and comfortable lying down there literally on special teams. It very well could have been Marquis"  Turns out, Cooper's mom was thinking the same thing.  The pigeon was her son, doing his job perfectly one more time.  Find quotes here from SportsbyBrooks..
