    Dude was crazy, but then again, he was the kind of crazy football needed.

    Someone surely from the bay area considering the other 2

    The last decade was ugly for him, as were some other moments earlier. You can't deny the championships

    Wow...harsh!! Couldn't he have just stepped down?

    RIP...There was a time long ago when Bo knew, that I loved the Raiders.

    Sad news, but I think Raiders will be a better team now. GO RAIDERS!

    On JaMarcus Russell, "He's a good player, get ovah it!!"

    Actually no he wasn't Al. He may be the worst pick in NFL history. So yes, without adoubt the Raiders are better off.

    A true maverick....but even mavericks have to change their ways when things aren't working.....just ponder what the last decade would have been like for Al without the "Tuck rule".....R.I.P Al Davis
