Greg's Bio

Greg is a subversive real world exile from the East Bay. After a gig working in Congress, Greg decided the real world sucks and moved to Aspen, Colorado for 12 years. Married with two beautiful children, Greg now lives on the Big Island and owns Hawaii's only ski rental outfit at the base of Mauna Kea. Greg plays bass, sax, spearfishes and watches SpongeBob with his kids.

I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?

hey many people are saying the raiders need a left tackle but I disagree and think the position is iver rated and would like to hear what you think as I've noticed you are very good at arguing your point. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/160040-are-left-tackles-over-rated?just_published=1
