Jeff Roman – Site Editor – Rams Gab

Jeff Roman is a tried and true Rams fan who was born and raised in St. Louis, but has been plying his trade recently in the northeast United States. Jeff has been a Rams fan ever since the Rams moved to St. Louis when he was in 8th grade. His family immediately scooped up season tickets and Jeff was in attendance for a lot of lowlights from 1996-1998, but then a lot of highlights in 1999 and beyond. His greatest moment in attendance was Ricky Proehl’s catch in the 1999-2000 NFC Championship. He currently follows the Rams coverage via Slingbox, blogs and the web.

Mike Loede – Columnist/Site Editor – Raiders Gab

As a life long Raider fan, Mike has been thru the ups and downs of Raider football. One of the very first football games he recalls remembering watching was SuperBowl XI Jan 9th 1977 when his beloved Raiders pummeled the hapless Minnesota Vikings 32 to 14. He cannot explain what it was about the Raiders that made him fall in love with them, but since that game, he has had a lifelong passion for the men in Silver and Black. He started collecting Raiders gear basically at that time, and his collection has grown every year – along with his love for the Raiders. Last year ( 2006 ) he was able to fly to Oakland to attend his first RAIDER game against his home town Browns. He cannot begin to explain the feelings that rushed thru his body as he entered MacAfee stadium. He had such a great time in Oakland and at that game – even though they lost – he is considering planning on making it a yearly tradition. He is looking forward to a much improved year of Raider football and he is looking even more forward to seeing this site grow and be a fun place for RAIDER FANS to participate and be a part of!!

Stephen Rhodes – Columnist

Stephen Rhodes was born in Globe, AZ back in 1963; moved around quite a bit during the 1980′s up until 2003. A high school graduate (unfortunately no college background – real life came calling), journalism classes were not offered at the high school he attended, so that makes him a frustrated Len Pasquarelli. Rhodes has been a die-hard Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts fan since the 1960′s when he was in grade school. He lived through the good times and the bad with the Colts (he was in attendance when the moving vans arrived in Indy – which was a big deal for a town that was until very recently was a basketball town). His profession is a Travel Agent, but his love/passion is professional sports (especially the NFL) and the written word that encompasses the League.
