RIP Al.

Maybe now the Raiders can get back to playing a version of football that is not stuck in the 60's-70's.

I hope he can rest in peace and I extend his family condolences, but the man ruined the team. I'll miss him as much as I did Steinbrenner....

OhmyGawd, everybody hated his ass and all the love and phony statements by NFL folks (both players and ex players) is highly laughable.....he was a jerk, plain and simple and screwed more people out of money than Alli Baba!

RIP old competitior, I will give him that-he was a competitor and a great football mind, but as a person he was a lousy individual.....sorry, just telling it like it is![ram27bat]

My friend Dan is going to be absolutely heart-broken. He is a Broncos fan and he said that as long as Al Davis was alive, the Raiders would suck.

Stand by Dan...

Not a fan of the Raiders or Al Davis, but may he rest in peace. 🙏

🤦 ESPN and NFL Network are making me sick with their high praise of Al Davis, when just last week both network's announcers would have called him some kind of scoundrel or crook or jerk, they now have such kind words for Al.

High praise for his football schemes and tactics, as he was a great Coach and strategist. Low Praise for him as an individual........[frypan] [ram27bat]

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that about a sports "celebrity"... Most are also lacking in the coaching/stategerie department. And other owners are just downright established mediocrities like Dan Snyder.

Fact is, the Davis Raiders were legendary for 3 decades. I'll never forget the Madden vs. Stram rivalry with the tandem of Lamonica (and later Stabler)/Biletnikoff going against Dawson/Taylor. And tough as nails! You'd never see that crew going "pc" with pink gloves and pink shoes to go with their handbags. 🤦

RIP Al Davis. I'll also never forget how you battered a better Skins team 38- 9 in the 1983 Superbowl XVIII. You bas tard.

Bloody, I agree 150%... in his day he was something... As a old AFL guy he made the AFL a success.. And helped make football what it is today... The youngens don't remember. Although he probably should have retired a while ago....to bad many will only remember the old Davis....

The ESPN hypocrites are the worst. especially with Chris Berman's fake "Mr, Davis" mentions while Berman has his hands folded as if in prayer. There is no bigger phony in sports tv than Berman.

As for Al, he was an asss, but he was his own man. I appreciate that about him.

Like what Bloody Spainard said about the Madden/Stram era of NFL.....the greatest era in NFL, with teams like daRaiders, Chiefs, Packers and da Bears who went out and banged heads for the full time of the game and still wanted to play or fight after it was over........the Raider v Chiefs hatred. rivalry, bloodbaths, battles, etc or whatever you call them were by far the greatest and biggest rivals of the 70's........Bears v Packers was also heated and filled with loud hits and loud talk.........

Most of the Raiders fans I know (not many) are pretty glad he's gone. Maybe not glad he's dead, but at least glad he isn't in charge anymore.

Sorry he's dead, but I hate the Raiders.
