About

Born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Lifelong Raider, Blazer and Giants fan. In the State of Oregon, I was taught at an early age you had to choose between the Ducks and the Beavers. I am a proud member of Beaver Nation. My first love though has always been the Oakland Raiders. Early memories of Kenny Stabler, Fred Biletnikoff, Dave Casper, Mark Van Eeghen, Ted Hendricks, Jack Tatum, and of course the great John Madden. I have followed the beloved Silver and Black, through the good and bad times, and to this day I can't understand how anyone could be a fan of any other team.

    Greetings friends -

    A "best of the rest" slide show picking through the photos that didn't make the final cut on my previous efforts. Hope you get a chance to stop by.

    Greetings baseball fans and friends!

    I present a slide show of events from June 15th, when the Dodgers held an event which allows fans to come onto the field to hit, pitch, and field. There are some behind the scenes shots as well.

    Hey Darell-

    Are Manny and his Satanic agent about to pull an "F" in their winter course?

    Greetings Darrell-

    If you get a chance, please check out the new articles I have written. One is about Jeff Kent's retiring and his replacements, one is on how I would change the game of baseball from the commissioner's chair and the other is an all star break grading of the LA Kings hockey team.

    All the best!
