Dan Eaton The Pundit
I grew up in the 80's & 90's in the bay area of California. Not only was it a great place to grow up, but it was a great place to be a sports fan. 8 NFL titles, 2 WS titles, John Elway & "The Play", and many more. I've also been playing fantasy sports since 98, and have been in a friends only fantasy football league with guys I've known since I was in short pants. I can talk about sports all day long, and sometimes I do, just ask my wife. I'm a fan of the bay area teams on the east side of the bay. I know all there is to know about those teams from SF, but I don't have to like them.

Janikowski, Raiders Kick it Old School in Win Over ChicagoOn a day when most of the major playmakers were kept off the field due to injury, the Raiders turned to their longest tenured first round draft choice, and he came through big time.

Packers Stomp on Lions, as Suh Stomps on PlayersTim Tebow gets a lot of attention due to his religious beliefs, and some people have taken to call him "Jesus". I, however believe that the "Holy One" already exists on earth, and that God is known by the name of Aaron Rodgers. -

Carson Palmer's Demise is Greatly ExaggeratedAs soon as news broke that the Oakland Raiders traded two top draft picks for "retired" Cincinnatti quarterback Carson Palmer some so called pundits blasted the Raiders as foolish, misguided, or even dumb. It would seem Hue Jackson knows more than you. -
