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

    David thanks for the "Pick of the Day vote"! I've written several stories on our team and I have been lucky enough to have more than a few appear on Raidernews.com. I really appreciate the vote and I will continue to drop articles on the Oakland Raiders.

    Hit me up if you need Raider DVDs from the 70s and 80s. Saw your list of favorite Raider players and figured you're a fan of those classic games. I have just about all of them.
