David's Bio

I am a staff writer for www.raidernews.com, and have been an Oakland Raiders fan for 25 years.
I am an Englishman, and live in Birmingham, England, although I will come over once a year for the back to back home games in Oakland.
I also write some history articles

The Short List What David thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Howie Long, Ken Stabler, Phil Villapiano, George Atkinson, Jack Tatum, Kirk Morrison, Mike Curtis, Dick Butkus, Ray Lewis.
Favorite Sports Teams

Oakland Raiders
All Time Sports Moment

All Oakland's superbowl victories. Jack Tatum knocking Sammie White unconcious (superbowl XI). England winning the Rugby World Cup (2003)
Most Memorable Game Attended

Its a long way from England, so just 2 last year (the loss to Chicago was more memorable that the loss to Houston......), but two coming up this year.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Bruce Smith's 200 sacks
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth
Unitas or Montana?

Montana. If you had 2 minutes to go, were in the shadow of you own posts and needed 6 points for the win, he was the man every time.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele, he was a better player and a decent (more than decent) human being
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

SEC, speed beats power every time

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....
