About Bryan »

I've been a Raider fan most of my life. Heros include Howie Long, Rod Martin, Matt Millen, Greg Townsend, Chester McGlockton, Marcus Allen, Bo Jackson, Tim Brown, Steve Wisnewski, Barrett Robbins, Terry McDaniel, Charles Woodson, Darrell Russell, Lester Hayes and Van McElroy. I'm more defense oriented but like good running backs too as well as team players that can't be ignored. My current favorite players are Michael Bush, Robert Gallery, Zach Miller, Tom Howard, Kirk Morrison, Tommy Kelly, and Johnnie Lee Higgins. Like many Raider fans out there, I anxiously await the escape of our own blackhole.

The Raiders are running no where fast. If they can't run the football against the Broncos, things could get ugly...
