About steve »

Hello all, i just started writing in Bleacher Report because i was on the Raider message boards and someone referred me to do that here. so i thought ill check it out. then someone else encouraged me to write more, so here i am. Im a big Raider fan, or as i like to call it strong observer, because fan is short for fanatic and im alot more logical and reasonable than alot of them. Im sure might differ with me on that. If i believe in something im pretty avid about showing you the truth. Its not all opinion, alot is based on results and things ive seen that already happen. Im also a Lakers fan and a little bit of Angels and Dodgers, but my real love is football, and mostly just Raiders.

I grew up in Los Angeles when Raiders were there and i started getting into football back in early 80s. My first love was baseball but then soon transferred to Raiders, and always Lakers too. ive done several different sports growing up, you could say im an all around, or was, Athlete. My father was a doctor and i had 2 older brothers, one had a genius I Q and the other was the big sports fan. so you could say ive combined the 2. Im very analytical when it comes to sports, especially Raiders. So ill just write and see where it takes me, its interesting to see what other viewers have to say other than my fellow Raider nation.

Thanks for leaving a comment on my Team USA baseball story, and that guy was a joke for leaving that comment. He is upset cause the Tigers suck.
