8-22-16 - Raiders - Ed Jay
Retired Oakland Raiders cornerback and safety Charles Woodson addressed the crowd after at his final game at the Coliseum in December of 2015. His second tenure with the Raiders sparked the resurgence of the team as a solid contender. Earlier Woodson had announced his retirement in advance of the final home game so the Raider Nation could watch him play one last time. In five years Woodson will be become a member of Pro Football's Hall of Fame as a first-ballot entrant.

Each decade of cheerleaders performed in front of Raiders fans in October of 2012. This image shows the squad with their sisters from the 1960s. Photo by Ed Jay.

The game's pitching match-up featured two established aces, Madison Bumgarner of the San Francisco Giants and Jacob deGrom of the New York Mets , portending a close game with a low score. Instead, the Giants won a 10-7 slugfest, suggesting baseball is not yet an exact science. To view a photo album, visit our Facebook page and be sure to LIKE us.   Photo by Rich Yee.

RRRAM
Race Acroos America - 8-22-16
The final rider in RAAM 2015 was 69-year-old Herve Talabardon (France) who took the record for the oldest racer to ever finish the Race Across America (RAAM). Talabardon took 12 days, 19 hours and 32 minutes at an average speed of 9.77 mph for his 3,004-mile journey from Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland. It seems that the Talabardon family is blessed with good cycling genes as both of his sons, Sebastien and Yannick, are former professional cyclists and both have competed in Tour de France and other big tours. They were along as crew members for their father's 2015 RAAM. "Maybe someday someone could finish RAAM at 70 or 75, but not that much more," he said after his 2015 finish. "After 70 the timing is so short that a man could do this." He evidently heeded his own words; he has just registered for RAAM 2017 and if he's successful, he'll be the first 70+ finisher in the event's 36-year history. Photo and caption by Vic Armijo / RAAM Media.
