Derek's Bio

Hi, my name is Derek and I'm a Raider-Aholic. I have been a Raider fan since I was old enough to understand football. The silver and black runs through my veins. I also follow the NBA, MMA, Boxing, Nascar and Auburn Tiger Football. (War Eagle)
I am a proud father of two beautiful kids, and a husband to a great woman.

    As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

    Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

  9. JaMarcus Russell is well below a 50% completion rate going into week 3. Is there hope, or better yet-is it time to label him a bust?

  10. Now that Richard Seymour has arrived in Oakland donning his #92 Raider jersey, the Raiders would like to get some pads underneath that jersey and get him out on the field to wreak havoc on the Chargers come Monday night...
