About Dave »

Fresh out of college, and looking for an outlet for my passion and love of the sports world, I came across this interesting little site and signed up. Just looking for a quality place with quality people to write about and discuss any topic of sport. My educational background is in Finance, Real Estate Development, and Sport Management.

Currently residing in the Bay Area of California, a hotbed of quality sports, although currently going through some rebuilding phases, I am an avid and vocal fan of the Oakland Raiders, San Jose Sharks, Oakland A's, and Los Angeles Lakers. While I grew up in the Bay Area, my Dad grew up primarily in Los Angeles, so I have loyalties across this great state. And aside from the major 4 sports, I am very passionate about the world of Mixed Martial Arts, whether it be UFC, Strikeforce, WEC, Affliction, DREAM, or more minor organizations, I love the sport and carry a great interest in them all.

I look forward to sharing and communicating with all of you about all things sports, as I am a very open-minded fan, whose loyalties don't get in the way of rational thought.

You can find me in these places as well as here:

When i first read this, i wasnt quite what to think or how i felt about the author, except that it was pretty well written. So i looked up what the publication was about, reread it, then i "got it".
Either way, the article is not what it seems at first, but a genuinely interesting read nonetheless.

Hey Dave,

I just finished the first half of the mother of all slide shows. I focused on the 100 greatest NFL players of the past 25 years who didn't attend a Division I college. This is part 1, give it a look and let me know what you think! Look out for part 2 coming soon! Thanks!

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?
