About King »

Born in Calgary, Alberta, CANADA so I was conditioned to be a Flames fan and been proud ever since. My parents moved me to Las Vegas and I got a taste of the West Coast culture. This included cheering for Los Angeles/Oakland. So in the US hockey pretty much is lucky to get scores shown, let along highlights, and unless there is technical difficulties, a game. So I was then raised to love basketball and football. My teams instantly became Los Angeles Lakers and the Oakland Raiders. Now back in Canada I put up with a lot from friends about liking the Raiders, escpecially over the past seasons since our loss in the Super Bowl to Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But I remain strong and on the other hand the Calgary Flames have done wonders since losing in the Stanley Cup Finals of '04 to again a Tampa team.

    Way to diminish the fact that he's the only Raider quarterback to throw for 2 touchdowns in a game this year. And nice of you not...

    What can I say. I Give Bruce thanks just for getting that abomination of a QB off of the field. I felt better going into last...

    This is basically to everyone who thinks their hate for Jamarcus Russell is justified now that Bruce "Almighty" gave us one win...
