Title: Al Davis Passes Away at 82
Post by: Townhallsavoy on October 08, 2011, 10:49:42 AM
I know a lot of jokes will be made about Davis's last years, but the man did a lot for the game of football. 

Peace out, crazy old man.

Maybe now the Raiders can draft some players.

Only NFL team I cared about (until Camolina this year). 

I was a Raider.  I was a Raider before Dre, NWA and Cube made it cool.  Was a Raider before Bo was a Raider.

I was a Raider in spite of drunk Kenny.  I was a Raider because of The Stork, Sticky Hayes, Biletnikoff, Howie, Upshaw, Casper, Haynes, Marcus Allen, Tim Brown (despite where both of them went to school). Plunkett, Van Eeghen, Alzado, Branch, Tatum, Matooz, Christensen. 

They were bad ass.  Old people hated them. 

Al Davis was the man.  The Hugh Hefner of the NFL. 

Just rest, baby. 


BTW, this stuff comes in threes.  Two industry titans down.  Can we get a dead pool going? 

Jobs, Davis...........and.........

Everybody pledge $20 and pick a winner.  Or loser, actually.

Forgot Ray.  And also 65-year old Blanda.  Liked him too.   Haven't been a Raider for a lot of years.  I sort of drifted away in the 90s as they got more and more bizarre.  Quit caring about the NFL as a whole. 

Finebaum isn't an industry titan.  He's a big-eared freak.

True, but I just wanted to throw him in the pool...

Loves the raiders as a kid. Always loved it when the brought old Pete Banazack in for short yardage. I'm not sure I ever remember him NOT getting the first down.
