Greg Townsend and his son, Greg Jr., have been preparing for this moment for quite some time.
The former Raiders defensive end would take his son out trick or treating, and they would wear matching jerseys. People would bark at 6-year-old Greg Jr. to get in his stance for some candy, and he was rewarded handsomely for his technique.
“We got a big kick out of Halloween,” the elder Townsend said Thursday. “People would see us coming, and it was a lot of fun.”
Townsend Jr. was wearing his Raiders jersey and in his stance again last weekend.
