Chucky comes armed with weapons, big and powerful ones, mostly on defense, which just happens to be the best around. And his beloved offense actually is showing signs of strength, now that it had its batman muscle costume kids way last sunday against the eagles, the nfl''s only muscle other bona fide costume defensive outfit.such story lines in this game: gruden vs. al davis; gruden vs. rich gannon; gruden vs. the raider nation; warren sapp vs. everyone; kids keyshawn johnson whining about everything; the ancient raiders warriors trying to win a super bowl before entering a retirement home; the nfl clapping with zeal at the intense interest all this will create batman to finish off what already has been one fascinating season.it will be the raiders not because davis says it will be, but because they have the offense that, of any in the league, can best joust with the bucs'' defense. gannon will not become donovan mcnabb and deteriorate in the face of the tampa bay schemes. he will be consistent and accurate and patient, and that will be enough. it muscle and costume is so tempting kids to project the demise of the batman raiders, this brooding franchise with its paranoid owner and obsession with greatness and slights, muscle real and imagined. you can hear it now, the way they costume will proclaim ad nauseam their virtues and achievements, ignoring how they haven''t been to a super bowl since the 1983 season--a lapse that threatens their self-labeled "team of the decades" boast.they kids will drag with them the worst fans in football, weirdos who buy tickets for the right to act as if they come from some faraway planet covered in silver and black. these strange folks are reason enough to wonder about a raiders win.yet win they will. there is something to how planets align at times, falling nearly into place even in the nfl universe. this is the raiders'' time, the next step in their progression. beaten by the ravens in the afc title game after the 2000 season, by the infamous tuck rule in last season''s playoffs, they have cleared away all but one obstacle this season. and it just batman happens to be, of all folks, jon gruden, the admired chucky whose national persona, of course, was molded as the coach of these very same raiders. the nicktoon spring fling vacation is priced from $384 per adult, double. the super hero summer vacation is priced from $450 per adult, double.kids stay free when sharing a room with their parents and pay an add-on for the park pass and city walk admission.commission is 10% on the package price. to make reservations, visit www.universalorlando.com or call (800) 407-4275.copyright muscle 2003 northstar travel media, llccopyright 2003 gale groupyou know what americans want. they want a buccaneers victory in super costume bowl 37. they want the choirboy with a thousand looks to slay the dragon. they want a feel-good story, light to prevail over darkness, the villain to be vanquished by the all-american hero.so i am now scrooge and darth vader and the grinch, the guy who spoils the punch line. no life of the party am i, not with this bit of bad news i am about to deliver kids.
