Pat's Bio

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.

The Raiders new receivers coach is starting to feel the heat. The powers that be will be watching how he coaches up the Raiders receivers (especially DHB) very closely...
