Simon's Bio

I am extremely passionate about my support for The Oakland Raiders, Los Angeles Lakers, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Los Angeles Dodgers, USC Trojans, Los Angeles Kings and Liverpool FC. I enjoy all sports and LOVE the entire Left Coast, but especially the Great NorthWest where I live with my amazing family(nothing against the Middle or Eastern side of the USA, just spent most my life in the west)
Currently, as a Co-Founder of The Raiders Fan Convention along with Mike Sommers and Ed McCrary, I am working on promoting and expanding next years events and increasing our free membership through the official website @ www.raidersfanconvention.com

  11. Simon:

    Brooks Robinson is a baseball legend. He hit 268 homers and won 16 Gold Gloves. But what's his story. I got it for ya.

  12. After what was easily the most exciting NFL season I have ever seen, almost every single NFL team has learned something new about its quarterback, whether it be finally finding their franchise quarterback, losing their starter to injury, or watching the starter lose his job. Here is the ultimate rankings--the 32 best active quarterbacks in the National Football League.

  13. I am offering a community service.
    Because of the excessive say nothing raider fan comments, I will, for a nominal fee, proof read and correct any and all posts by raider fans.
    We're trying to remove the impression that all raider fans chase parked cars.

    Do your part by donating to your favorite charity, me.

    First thing is get rid of that web site, OR photoshop some pics, showing more people there.
    Go here www.retardedpeoplewhowearsilverandblack.com

    this is a offer that expires at some point when I decide that point is now, as compared to any other time that is not now.

    Thank you for your time, and your money.
