A.J.'s Bio

My name is Anthony Julian DeMello (call me AJ), and I'm a follower of not only the Oakland Raiders but the NFL as a whole. I have a dream to one day be on T.V. and/or radio (journalist would be nice too), talking up a storm about the NFL. I love talking football, usually doesn't matter what NFL team it is.

I look forward to writing more articles for the Bleacher Report. Hopefully this site can help lead me to that next step, which I assure you will happen sooner rather than later.

I would like to give thanks to all who take the time to read and comment on my articles. You truly are a big part of my dream and keep me driven at all times.

My profile photo is of Lincoln Kennedy (former Oakland Raiders two time pro-bowl right tackle, left) and myself (right). Lucky enough to run into him at Burbank airport. I will most likely see him again, although I'm hoping the next time I see him I'm on the business side of it and not just a fan.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

We all remember how great Matt Leinart was in College Football. But when he came into the NFL, he hasn't surprised anyone. I say he's a disappointment, and a letdown to the Arizona Cardinals franchise:

I hope you have time to take a look. Feedback will deeply be appreciated. Also, sorry if I don't have time to check your stuff on my BB. I'm trying my best but I have been out with the flu.

All the best,
