About David »

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 Shortlist »

  • 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

Coach Cable has made a decision at quarterback for the Raiders. Will it ultimately decide his future in Oakland?

    Rolando McLain is a good option for Oakland in the draft. They need amiddle linebacker with more punch.
