About Me

I am a former NFL quarterback considering returning to the Raiders for one more season. I led our team to the Super Bowl during the 2002 season while earning the NFL MVP, and my 2nd consecutive Pro-Bowl MVP. Aside from football, I have a lovely wife Shelley, and two daughters Alexis and Danielle. Danielle is suffering from a condition called "Celiac disease." She is better now but still has discomfort from time to time. If you have any interest in the fight against my daughter's disease, please leave me a message. It is a fight I have dedicated my life to. I am currently working for CBS Sports as a color commentator, mostly for Oakland Raiders games. It is a new venture that takes up much of my time. I will continue this until I figure out whether football is a realistic possibility in the near future.
