I despise Al Davis and the Raiders, obviously. But one question. Do Raider fans consider Davis to be bad for the team just in the recent past decade or two (due to his aging, no SB wins, and the last 6 years in a row being really really awful) or do they consider him to have always been a thorn to the organization? Just asking in view of the team's huge success from the mid 60's to the mid 80's where they won 3 SB's and usually had double digit wins for the season. Or is that credit mainly attributed to the excellence of John Madden and the long time team players like Stabler, Branch, and Blanda?
I don't think the kids realized that there is a rivalary between the chiefs and the raiders. Ssssssshh.... maybe if they don't know that we haven't beat the broncos in Denver since Joe Montana maybe they will crush the broncos.
Somehow I think that because both teams down there fighting over who gets to bottle-sit the wine in the basement of the league,neither team wants to break any bottles.
When I was at the raiders fan nation site, they were talking about Al like we talk about Carl and Hermie. Someone even went so far as to say that they hope that the raiders don't go to playoffs becausethey didn't want Al thinking that nothing needs to be fixed.
Of course, they don't talk nearly as bad as we talk about Hermie, lol.
