Ok, Im going to admit it. I like the Raiders. Honestly I want the Raiders to do good. I grew up in San Francisco and I love the 49ers, don;t get me wrong. But I love ALL of our Bay Area teams. And that includes the A's and Raiders.
What I like about the Raiders is their fan base. 49ers are always talking about being "Faithful". Well thats a bunch of bullshit. I mean San Francisco fans are just bandwagon's in the first place. When the 49ers do good, people watch them, when they do bad, people stop watching them. Now look at the Raiders. They sucked for how many season? And look how at how FAITHFUL their fans REALLY are. They actually go to the games and they have A LOT of pride for their team. So what if they are obnoxious? 49er fans are like that too.
Another thing I like about the Raiders is their coaching style. When Tom Cable sees something wrong, he acts upon it. Perfect example, Jamarcus Russell. We all know of how much he was a waste of money to the team. After his first season, they got rid of him. Mike Singletary on the other hand gives out MANY MANY chances. How many chances does Alex Smith get? He's been in the NFL for super long and he STILL sucks. They should just get rid of him. Obviously he's not getting the job done. Another perfect example of the Raiders coaching. First home game against the Rams in 2010, Jason Campbell was not doing great, took him out in the 2nd half and put in Bruce Gradowski (Sorry for the spelling.) and they ended up winning. Why keep Alex Smith in the game for the whole day, when all he is going to do is suck.
Imma continue to love the 49ers, but Im also going to watch the Raiders. I don't care what all you people say about it. Oakland and San Francisco are not enemies. They aren't even in the same league! So stop hating and love the sport for what it is!

Raider Nation
Alright, for most of you that know me, Im a big sports fan. (duh) All I ever talk about is watching sports and this and that about sports. So I love the Niners. Don't get me wrong. But heres a secret. I also like the Raiders to. Why? Well I grew up in the bay area, so I love ALL the Bay Area teams. (And yes that includes the Raiders and A's). I don't get this whole hype about the Niners fans hating on the Raiders fans. We aren't even in the same league. I can see how the Giants hate on the Dodgers, they are league rivals. But the Niners and Raiders don't play in the same league. Sure they have inter league games (when two different teams from different leagues play together) and yes thats when Ill definitely go for the Niners (as I am from San Francisco, so Niners all the way. But I wont hate on the Raiders) Yea the Raiders suck. So do the Warriors, and we all know we still love them. The A's suck too but hey they got some really good deals on tickets. Free Parking on Tuesdays. Double Play Wednesdays ($2 Plaza Reserved Tickets and $1 Hot Dogs! You CANNOT reject deals like that)
Im going to continue to being a Raider fan. Im going t my first raiders games with my girl friend at the end of October. I never been to one cause I never had the time (or the money) It cant be as bad as everyone says they are. Niners fans are pretty obnoxious. Raiders fans cant be that bad. Oakland needs the rest of the Bay Area support too. We all know the fans are a big part of a teams success.

My Sporting Goal
As you guys all know, I love sports. I like to play but I also like to watch pro sports teams. I love Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey (In that order). I love all the Bay Area teams and my goal is to visit ALL MLB Ballparks. I counted and theirs exactly 30. So far I seen 2 (San Francisco and Oakland. haha duh) so I got 28 more to go. Its not as hard as it seems. Most States have 2 teams (New York, Texas, Florida, Chicago. California has 5.) So its not as hard as it seems. After Im done with the MLB. I want to do Basketball and Hockey. I chose to do them together because its during the same timeframe for the season and most teams play in the same arena. Then finally I want to do the NFL, but its harder cause each team only has 8 home games and football is CRAZY expensive.

Collecting
One of my hobbies is to collect. I don't know why but I love to collect different things. I guess you can say Im like a pack rat. So here area few of my collections.
I have a small stamp collection. The stamp collection was started by my moms younger brother. He passed away but my mom saved his stamp collection. I guess I liked it so much I continued it and just kept it. Haven't been getting any stamps lately (who the heck send out mail now a days) if i ever do get mail its already pre paid by the company and theirs no stamp on it. And I don't want to buy them either.
Another thing I collect is coins. Foreign and U.S coins. I don't have much in this collection. I started with the 50 state quarters that was issued in 1999. This is when they released 5 coins a year for 10 years so you can get all 50 states. Yes I waited 10 year to finish this collection. For my foreign currency, I only have a few countries that ive been to/my mom has been to like Taiwan and Europe. So its not that big, but as I travel I will get more.
I also collect a few childish things. Dont laugh now. But I got a nice collection San Francisco Giants Bobbleheads and Memorabilia Collection. Most of them are SGA (Stadium Give Aways) that are only 20,000 made (well thats what they say..) This one is harder to get cause people are always selling these for like $30 - $50 depending on how rare they are and when they were released. I got a good collection going, I got around 14 - 15 already. My goal is to get a display case and display all my bobbles and signed balls and pictures and whatnot. A display case for the Giants haha.
And finally, my last collection, and something that I just started. Pokemon Cards. Yes you read that right, Pokemon Cards. Why you may ask? Cause I loved Pokemon when I was a child. So I wanted to restart my collection (since I sold it a while ago) just to relive my childhood. And its cheaper. I just bought like a whole mess of Pokemon cards for like $20 off Ebay. Ill let you know when its done! (Note: I'm only collecting the first 150 Pokemon, not like other 5304802938402980 Pokemon they got out now.)
