I couldn't have less interest in how he ran the Raiders, since I'm not a Football fan. It's the precedent he set with the anti-trust which orchestrated some pretty horrible memories for millions. Modell, Irsay, Adams, Karmanos, Green, Ralston Purina, etc. worship the guy who opened their doors. His ruthlessness is why the NHL has a by-law overriding the sale of any franchise to any owner with the sole intent of moving the franchise regardless of approval/disapproval from the league's Board of Governors.

Al Davis is why I am a Raider fan...he is probably also why I have not cared one bit about NFL football for about 10 yrs
