Big John and the Raiders in Nashville Against the Titans

       Nashville's Big John Henderson and the Oakland Raiders played in Nashville today. One of Nashville's greatest athletes ever, Henderson likes being back in his hometown.
       "It's always good to be back," said Hen after the game, a Titans win. "I've played here a lot through the years, and it's always a good feeling to be back home and play in front of people I know."

During warm-ups, John reacts with happiness when
a Pearl-Cohn father yells support of a fellow P-C Firebird.

       Henderson had about 40 friends and family in the stands and many more of course watching on TV.
       He and his family of six like northern California.
       "It's good being a part of the Raiders organization, which has so much tradition. My family is adjusting to the move also, and they're doing well."
       John played a good game today, as he always does. He finished with five tackles, four of them solo tackles.
       Commentators remarked that Henderson fills the gaps and gets off blocks very well. After many years in the NFL, Henderson is still a force on defense. Please see photo below.
