Flores remains in Super stupor SEATTLE (AP) - The Oak land Raiders' Tom Flores spoke Wednesday like a man who still was under the influence of some Super Bowl postgame victory celebration champagne. “This is something they can’t ever take away from you — the experience of being number one," he said. “A championship season is just as exciting as hell."
