About Rick »

I am all about Raider football. The real Raider football. The blue collar, never quit, against all odds kind that I grew up with. The Pride and Poise. The franchise that once boasted the all-time best winning percentage in sports. The team that coined the slogan "committment to excellence", and even rivals knew that they meant it.

I am waiting for those days to return.

Hey, great articles; great all-time sports moment. After I put that down on my profile a few weeks ago, I had to go back and dial up that game just to watch that run. Anyway, thanks for being a fan of my articles as I am of yours. I look forward to more.

He was probably the greatest athlete of all time. He had more talent than any running back in history. If only he had never played baseball....
