Congrats to Al Davis for being the first person to own a pro sports team that decreases a city's quality of life. _________________ http://chickhearn.ytmnd.com/

And for serving as a beacon to the meathead, raised-truck driving, attack-from-behind gangster demo that Lux Face sympathizes with. The Niners simply weren't reaching out to this base. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

RAIDER FAN HERE.
much respect to all as always, he did whatever the F he wanted and didn't care about what others thought. I respect him for that and he is a true legend.
The Raiders are AL Davis and AL Davis is the Raiders. |

I was thinking the opposite, that with Al now gone maybe the Raiders will allow a real NFL team to move to LA. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

I am sure his "son" Marcus Allen would disagree with you. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Without him there wouldn't be a team for all the haters to hate. We are and always will be the villains of the league. The Raiders were Al Davis plain and simple. I hope this team does something special this year like win the Lombardi.
JUST WIN BABY!!!I'll always be a RAIDER FOR LIFE. |
I had forgotten about that one. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

As a Raider fan I respected what he meant to the Raiders and the image he tried to cultivate. At the same time I've been waiting for him to die so we can actually have a viable football team again. RIP Al... |

It is amazing that he was an assistant coach, head coach, commissioner, and team owner. Like so many great people involved with sports, he just didn't know when it was time to call it quits. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
