Met him at a Dolphins game back in 2000 for a corporate event...he walked into our suite at Joe Robbie Stadium...the man was quite the presence when he walked in a room...commanded a ton of attention.

With that said...expect the Raiders to now win about 15 Super Bowls in the next 30 years. Same thing will likely happen when Jerry Jones goes.

RIP Al.

A couple years ago, I told my friend (sarcastically) that the only way the Raiders can win is if Al Davis dies. He said that Al Davis already died and he just forgot to lay down.

Rest in Peace AL.

As a lifelong Kansas City Chiefs fan, I’ve always detested Davis. But, in his passing, I cannot say anything bad about him.

I wish him well in the afterlife and pray for comfort for his loved ones.

RIP, Mr. Davis.

Years later congress got involved. The NFL(and Davis) benefitted big time.

Let's see if I understand this correctly--you are pleased because the U.S. Congress stuck their noses into private industry decisions? Furthermore, you posted this as a reply to yourself on a public thread in a conservative forum. Small blessings the duplicate thread was pulled.

Always hated the Raiders but admired Al Davis.

This is a loss to the NFL.

RIP. Fan or not Davis’ Raiders have provided tons of entertainment over the years.
