Andrew's Bio

Raiders. Raiders. Raiders. I live and breathe the Oakland Raiders.

I'm a graduate of West Virginia University, and a lifelong fan of Mountaineer football.

I have a passive interest in baseball, but have fallen out of love with the sport in recent years, but still hold a love for my Baltimore Orioles.

IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES TO ROOT FOR A COLLEGE YOU DIDN'T ATTEND.

That all being said. More Raiders.

  1. I know man, it's been ridiculous. Some of them are actually decent to talk to like Rick and Sayre, but others are just trolls.

  2. Much has been written about the Steelers, the 1970s, and their use of steroids. The current public perception is the Steelers began and glamorized the use of roids in the 70s. Read my article to find out who one man, with 4 NFL teams, spread the use of steroids throughout the NFL, beginning in 1963, and see just how pervasive roid usage was by the time the Steelers began their decade of dominance.

  3. Andrew.....would it change things if you knew I am a major Georgetown basketball fan and I absolutely, unequivocally despise WVU?

    Probably not.....because for me it's only hoops. I loved watching White and Slaton too, especially Slaton. Small and slithery.....I knew he'd succeed.

    I'm Canadian, so I get a pass.....I can root for whoever I want! Because let me tell you, the St. Lawrence College Vikings aren't setting the world on fire up here.

  4. Take a peek at my teams destined to disappoint in 2009. Thanks for reading.

  7. Some think it's genius, some think it's insane. Read my take on the Matt Cassel contract extension.

  8. A bit of a break from the usual for me. I'd appreciate your angle and comments. Thanks so much.

  9. I'm not a Raiders guy by any means, but I'll check your articles out from time to time, simply based on what I read on the Walter piece.

    Keep up the good work.
