Born and raised on the East Coast. Criminal Justice major, and Army Staff Sergeant currently in Iraq. I enjoy writing about my favorite sports team, the Oakland Raiders.

Some of my favorite Raiders played in Oakland for a year or two, others played there for years. My favorite Raiders include:

Tim Brown
Nnamdi Asomugha
Sebastian Janikowski
Jack Tatum
Daryle Lamonica
Ken Stabler
Daunte Culpepper (He should still be a Raider!)
Rich Gannon
Michael Bush

Growing up not too far from Baltimore (less than an hour north in PA) I was a big Cal Ripken fan. I don't root for the Orioles anymore, but combining skill, dedication, talent, popularity, and off-field contributions, he's the best to ever play baseball in my opinion.

Not a professional writer but I love to do it. Feel free to talk Raiders with me anytime!

Favorite Athletes

Nnamdi Asomugha, Michael Bush, Ryan Zimmerman, Cal Ripken, Keith Tkachuk
Favorite Sports Teams

Oakland Raiders, Washinton Nationals, St. Louis Blues
Favorite Coaches

Jon Gruden, John Madden, Davey Johnson (from when the O's were good!)

You are extremely far away from being "under my skin." I just noticed you and a few other prissy raider fans, just needed their noses rubbed in their own shit.
