About Ashraf »

Hey all! My name is Ashraf Hammad, but everyone calls me Ash.
I live in Livermore California, and am thirteen years old. I'm a huge fan of football, and fanhood lies with the Oakland Raiders (I know, not too smart a place to put it nowadays, huh?). I really enjoy basketball, I just wish the Warriors would start to show some life on defense! I'm really just starting to get into baseball, but it's rising up there on my favorite sports list, and it looks like my A's are stockpiling hitting prospects from the future. I'm not a huge fan of hockey, but I root for the Sharks anytime that I can. In the collegiate ranks, my school would be Georgetown (GO HOYAS!)

Ash. I like your writing. Keep up the good work. I am glad to see that you actually watch football when watching the Raiders. Sadly, too many "fans" do not. Hang in there, Raider Nation!

Wrote a article as we're approaching the quarterpole of the NFL (more so if you count preseason).

Which players surprised even the best of analysts?
