About Pat »

I'm not an aspiring writer. I haven't recieved a Masters Degree. I have no delusions of grandure. I am just a Guy who loves God, Family, Country and Football, in that order. The Raiders captured my pigskin heart in 1980 and they have had it every since. Even though Al Davis has made his mistakes, I still think he's the man! Maybe I'm sentimental, but he loves the Raiders and wants them to win as much as anyone, so I can't help but like the guy.

I don't hate other teams. I don't like some players or coaches, therefore I like to see their teams lose, but eventually they move on and so do I.

Oh, one more thing, I don't play for UCLA.

Pat Cowan commented on Can Anything Good Come Out of the Oakland Raiders? Yes, Rod Woodson

Mike Mitchell is will have an increased role, due to injuries, against the Bengals. This could be his chance to shine.
