>Derek Carr Memorial Fact of the Day
They say greatness attracts greatness, and on November 27th, 2016, Derek Carr and the 8-2 Oakland Raiders attracted none other than the Excellence of Execution, the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be, Bret Hart, to Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum for their game against the 4-6 Carolina Panthers.
Hart, a big fan of Carr, witnessed as the young, supple QB and his team fell behind late in the game, 25-24. And worse, Carr had injured his pinky finger. But just like the Hitman had done so many times during his pro wrestling career, Carr and the Raiders dug deep, flipped the switch late and went on the offensive, only instead of suplexes and sharpshooters, it was a TD pass followed by a Sebastian Janikowski FG, and a 35-32 Oakland Raiders win.
After the game, Bret Hart gifted Derek Carr a pair of his trademark shades. A testament to the old saying that "Real recognize real."
