BengalszoneBilly Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 Breaking news at PFT. This must have happened suddenly because there was nothing leading up to today.On Davis’s watch, the Raiders won Super Bowls XI, XV and XVIII. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1992 and is the only person to serve as a personnel assistant, scout, assistant coach, head coach, general manager, commissioner and team owner.

BengalszoneBilly Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Posted October 8, 2011 I've always hated the Raiders, but after reading all of this about him you can clearly see why he is in the Hall of Fame. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 For all that's been said about Al in the last decade or two, fact is the man was one of the NFL's giants. RIP Quote
Dimster28 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 is it awful that first thing pop up in my mind when i read the news is "why him, not mike brown" Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 is it awful that first thing pop up in my mind when i read the news is "why him, not mike brown"My thoughts also, Dim. Looks like Mike Brown won this race. Quote
Passepartout Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Think despite all that has been said about him recently like someone said in the last decade, still the man was a genius in the golden days of the NFL and the Raiders. RIP! Quote

ArmyBengal Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Just goes to show that no matter how much people grow to hate you, they look back on you fondly after you pass, but there is good reason to here.RIP Al Davis...Moving on, will Mike Brown garner the same respect ??Something tells me otherwise as I recall posts about dancing or pissing on his gravesite.Maybe it was dancing AND pissing on his gravesite. It's gets confusing. Quote

It's gets confusing.Had plenty of time to listen to the NFL station .... had the same thought about how you can improve your favorability rating .. IQ ... etc etc .. just by kicking off. Everybody .. and I mean everybody LOVED Al ... I did notice tho that of all the phone calls .. interviews... the one that was conspicuously absent was Marcus Allen. Guess he hasn't felt the love yet .. or really learned the lesson he got from Al by riding the bench .. not being allowed to play ... be released .. or traded. Tough Love does take a while to sink in I guess. Quote
