Go Raiders!
Robert A. George posts about Art Shell’s return as head coach of the Silver and Black. As a Raiders fan, I say congratulations, Mr. Shell. Just win, baby. Just win.
Myrhaf, As a fellow Raider fan, I can't say I'm excited about the Shell hire. But at least he is better than Norv Turner. Of course, my 6 year old son could coach the Raiders better than Norv Turner, but I am kind of partial to my son. Maybe that's not a good example.
I know! Jimmy Carter could coach the Raiders better than Norv Turner!
I graduated from Eisenhower High School in Rialto, California in 1975. Did four years in the USAF as a chinese linguist. Got my BA in Theatre Arts from California State College, San Bernardino. Went through the Professional Program in Screenwriting at UCLA. Have written plays for the stage and comedy for radio morning shows.
Lately I've been acting a lot. I've been in shows by Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, Edmond Rostand and Maurice Maeterlinck -- not a bad run!
People ask, "Why Myrhaf?" Myrhaf is a character in an historical novel I'm writing called Viking Blood. He is a mentor figure who dies in the first chapter. I thought the name would give my blog some style, some flair and a title readers would remember. My real name is William Greeley. Although I am an Objectivist and often write about the philosophy on this blog, I do not speak for anyone but myself. I would urge those who want to learn about Objectivism to read Ayn Rand's novels and nonfiction books and then Leonard Peikoff's Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand.

For the last few years the scariest thing about the Raiders has been the way their fans dress.
That's part of the fun of watching Raider home games on tv!
