That's him, on the left
In the last 20 years it was painful to see how the game had passed him by and he wouldn’t let go.
But he was always a character and I never heard of him intentionally saying anything bad about anyone or doing anything to anyone.
RIP Al — you’ll always be an important part of the NFL. I am sure in the post-life you will just win, baby.
I used to enjoy watching the Raiders play back in the 70s. Kenny Stabler, Jack Tatum and other assorted thugs.
We’re going to hear a lot of “We need to win this one for Big Al tomorrow!!!”
Houston may get screwed Sunday...
The media sports hacks will certainly be on the Oakland side of the sympathy trail...
But if Houston wins tomorrow, we will be looked upon with disgust for not “giving” a win out of sympathy for the death of Al Davis...We’ll be the hated team in the whole league...
Sometimes the owner holds a team back. I’m reminded of the Blackhawks owner dying, crazy old bastard wouldn’t allow the games on TV.
Sad thing to say because of his illustrious past but the Raiders will improve because of this. Senility had set in.
