XXXVII in San Diego (2003) |

Joy and I spent
the day at the NFL Experience, an interactive entertainment venue where you
can fulfill your dreams of throwing the winning touchdown, kicking the
deciding field goal and much more. |

A top priority at the NFL Experience was to
kick a field goal. Today was my lucky day as I went 2 for 2 from 20
and 30 yards out. |

All those aspiring to be place kickers should
observe this picture as Joy displays perfect form booting a 20
yard field goal deep into the bay. |

I was born and raised in Oakland, so there's
no question who I was rooting for in the Superbowl |

Some of my fondest football memories are from
the 49ers teams of the eighties that dominated with Joe Montana at the helm. |

How big of a Bay Area sports fan is Joy?
Well, he likes the 49ers, Raiders, Giants, A's, Warriors, Sharks, Clash &
Sabercats. |

Joy is the consummate Bay Area sports fan, so
it's no surprise the 49ers and Raiders are his favorite football teams. |

best tight end in football and future hall of famer. |

Joy takes a picture with Bill Werndell.
Werndell is one of the best sports-radio personalities in San Diego, and Joy
is one of the biggest sports fan to ever live. |

Joy and I pledged our allegiance to the Raider
Nation by getting Oakland Raider insignias tattooed on our arms. |

After connecting on my first field goal from
20 yards, I had to come back to try a 30-yarder. In this picture I
watch the ball sail through the up-rights as fireworks go off in the background.

This is the passing challenge at the NFL
Experience. You have to throw a football through the hoops to score.
Joy hit 2 of 3. I had a tougher time, but I nailed the pass on my
final throw. |

The Raider Nation was in full effect at the
NFL Experience. Silver and black clad fans dominated the park, and
chants of "Raaiii-ders" filled the air. |
