Al Davis Passed away today.
Oakland Raiders
The only reason a beer sweats around Canada is because he's decided it will be the next beer he drinks.
The rivalry will not be the same without him.
It starts with the Offensive line
I have had plenty of respect for Al for a long time.
I may have poked a bit of fun, here and there, but never lost respect for him.
R.I.P.
But don't expect many more kind words for AL out of me.
As a Chiefs fan who grew up in the days of the AFL, I will miss Al Davis, respectably. Mr. Davis is in part responsible for many cherished memories I have as a Chiefs fan, he is an important part of Chiefs history, as well as that of the AFL/NFL. He made many valuable contributions to the AFL/NFL, AFC West, Raiders franchise, and to society. My condolences to Mr. Davis' family, friends, Raider fans, all who will also miss Al's presence in our lives. RIP Al Davis

I never thought I would say anything nice about the man but I thank him and Lamar for having the same dream and sticking to it no matter what people back then thought. Al I am sure you were a good man and well I am sad that you have passed away...R.I.P.
R.I.P. Al, I can poke fun at a man that is living all day long, but we have to respect what he has done.
Are you man enough? Eric Berry? Apparently Not!
R.I.P Al. The NFL won't be the same witout ya
While I HATE the Raiders, I cant help but have a great deal of respect for what Al Davis has done for this league. There will never be another like him. Rest In Paradise Al!!
Doing my best to keep my sons memory alive!!!
R.I.P. Mr Davis......

Thanks for keeping it classy on this board. I have seen another Chiefs board that was completely classless!
Al had a lot of enemies and as rivals it can sometimes get ugly. Al had his flaws but he also showed he was a good man, remember he is the one who paid for Derrick Thomas' funeral. There are a lot of things he has done like that and most people don't know.
