Attention to Detail

In yet another of example of why Jerry McDonald is the best reporter on the Raiders beat, he b gives us this tidbit at the end of his entry for today's early session of the joint practice with the 49ers:

The 49ers wasted no time in marking their territory. One of the oddities of training camp is, well, public urination. With no facilities on the field, players find a fence away from any invited guests to relieve themselves. Less than 20 minutes into the practice, defensive lineman Ray McDonald became the first 49er player to do so at a Raiders practice.

You just can't teach that level of attention to detail.
