Al Davis dies
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, October 8th, 2011 at 8:11 am in Oakland Raiders.
Al Davis, the iconic owner of the Raiders who built a pro football team in his own image, moved it to Los Angeles and then back again, has died at age 82.
The club announced his death on its Web site with the statement:
“AL DAVIS
JULY 4, 1929 _ OCT. 8, 2011
THE RAIDER FAMILY WILL ISSUE A STATEMENT LATER TODAY”
The Raiders are in Houston for Sunday’s game against the Texans. Although in failing health because of an undisclosed health issues, Davis attended the Raiders’ most recent game, a 31-19 loss to the New England Patriots.
He did not travel to a Week 2 game in Buffalo, only the second game he has missed since the team returned to Oakland in 1995.
Although the Raiders haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1983 and have just three seasons with records over .500 in 15 seasons since returning to Oakland, Davis achieved his goal of making his team one of the most recognizable franchises in professional sports.
Davis is survived by his wife Carol and son Mark. He said in previous interviews his wife and son would inherit the Raiders upon his death, although in keeping with the secrecy inherent in the organization, little is known about how the club will function in terms of day-to-day operations.
Inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1992, Davis is the lone member to have been an assistant coach, head coach, general manager, owner and commissioner. His life’s work has been the Raiders, for whom he was the dominant figure for nearly 50 years.
With Davis in control the Raiders won 15 division championships, four conference championships and captured the Super Bowl following the 1976, 1980 and 1983 seasons, losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002.
The Raiders developed a reputation for bringing in renegades and misfits and were one of the most polarizing team in pro football, with a loyal, rowdy fan base and even more fans who considered them arch-enemies because of their penchant for penalties and intimidation.
Davis, with his black and white sweatsuits, 1950s hairstyle and unapologetic insistence on the bottom line, was the central figure.
“I’m a sore loser,’’ Davis said in an Oakland Tribune interview for a profile accompanying his selection as the most significant sports figure in Bay Area history by the publication.
In developing catch phrases such as “Commitment to Excellence’’ and “Pride and Poise,’’ and leaning heavily on tradition, Davis believed the name brand of the Raiders was rivaled only by the New York Yankees pinstripes and the green uniforms of the Boston Celtics in terms of fan recognition.
Davis spoke of the Raiders being known around the world, and said in a 2010 interview on Sirius Satellite Radio, “We’ve always wanted to be global, and we are global. You take that silver and black, that uniform, and you can go anywhere in the world and they know what you’re talking about.’’
Shortly after his selection to the Hall of Fame in 1992, Davis explained how he built the Raiders through the influence of his Brooklyn youth.
“I always wanted to take an organization and make it the best in sports,’’ Davis said. “I admired the New York Yankees for their power, intimidation. I admired the Brooklyn Dodgers under Branch Rickey for their speed and player development. I felt there was no reason the two approaches couldn’t be combined into one powerful organization.’’

REST IN PEACE AL DAVIS!!!
YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!
October 8th, 2011 at 8:16 am
R.I.P Al
The Raiders won’t be the same without you.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:16 am
As much as he angered me as a G.M. you could not ask for a better owner in terms of wanting to win and being willing to put his money right back into the team.
He certainly kept things interesting in here. Things will not be the same.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:16 am
Damn, RIP Big Al. The Nation will miss you.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:17 am
Rest in peace Al Davis. Your greatness will last as long as there is Pro Football.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:17 am
I’m still in shock. R.I.P., Al. The Raiders should dedicate this season to him and go out and beat the crap out of the rest if their opponents.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:17 am
Thank you Al Davis, for all the good times, the Commitment to Excellence, and for the diamond in our lives known as the Raiders….
October 8th, 2011 at 8:17 am
LA to TheBay = not a tough guy.
Crying like a baby over the passing of a polarizing football legend most would call the prince of darkness. He had his middle finger to the world and did things his way. Fiercly loyal to those loyal to him. Pioneer.
Football just got a little weaker today.
LA to TheBay = Al Bootlicker For Life.
R.I.P.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:17 am
RIP Mr. Davis.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:18 am
Some of you are finnaly gettin’ what you asked for( will be saying wish Al was still here, we would know what to do) 2. Who runs the Raiders now? 3. DE Moss last Raider to speak to Al? 4. The Raiders are free? RIP Mr Davis ..
October 8th, 2011 at 8:18 am
Flying my Raider flags half-mast at home today….
October 8th, 2011 at 8:19 am
R.I.P. Al! Thank you for everything to include the Raiders! YOu are the Raiders! Now you can finally relax! Let ESPN and NFL Network kiss your butt!!! We will miss you!

Hurtin for real. He was supposed to stay around for the luxury boxes and another ring.
Watch all his enemies come out and kiss his @$$ now.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:19 am
R.I.P. Al Davis – biggest icon in sports forever.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:20 am
He was right about the global thing. I’ve come across Raider gear in small east German villages and Italian subways.
I wonder how the ownership thing actually plays out and just as importantly, how it’ll impact the whole stadium thing going forward.
Weird to think of football and the Raiders good or bad without Al Davis.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:21 am
One thing about Al is he loved The Raiders just as much as we do – maybe even more.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:21 am
Wanted him to catch sixburgh before passing!
October 8th, 2011 at 8:21 am
Al said fck you to everybody. Built a leagcy that will last forever. Whoever inherits this and runs the team better keep the spirit of the Raiders alive.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:22 am
Wow…let’s win this next one for Al
October 8th, 2011 at 8:23 am
A sad day! Some view this day as something they’ve longed for as a fan, he is a LEGEND, and will be missed. Sad, teared up as my phone rang “the autumn wind is a Raider”, right after I saw the text. Contemplating leaving work! This season for Al, let’s see some domination from the 2011 Raiders! Commitment to excellence, every play the rest of season from every play. CODE BLACK takes on a whe new meaning! Stomp the Texans
October 8th, 2011 at 8:23 am
RIP Al. Thank you for those great moments in Raider history.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:23 am
r.i.p. al davis .what a way to wake up.just takes the energy out of me.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:23 am
You will be missed. All you people joking (or serious) about raiders not being good until he died. You are losers and should feel ashamed. To me davis was a pioneer in the nfl. Rest in peace davis raider nation will never be the same. The davis family im sure i can speak fir all of us are prayers are with you. Long live al davis.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:24 am

October 8th, 2011 at 8:27 am
Thank you Al. Your team was at the core of my Eastbay childhood memories; and then a lifetime of loyalty to the Silver and Black. Your legacy will live on in the innumerable who call themselves members of Raider Nation.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:27 am
A man among boys…he worked on the raiders till the end. RIP Al some people couldnt understand your style but man it IS raider football, hope it never changes
October 8th, 2011 at 8:28 am

October 8th, 2011 at 8:32 am
Wow. I am just absolutely stunned, even though we knew this day was coming eventually. My Broncos buddy broke the news to me by text message a few minutes ago.
Who thought two major Bay Area icons would leave us in one week???
So long, Al. You brought to the NFL what Steve brought to the PC industry.
Many questioned your tactics. You demanded a commitment to excellence, and there was nothing wrong with that. You expected loyalty, and there was also nothing wrong with that.
But you were a true innovator and competitor. You will be missed.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:32 am
“You take that silver and black, that uniform, and you can go anywhere in the world and they know what you’re talking about.’’
+++++++++
Truth spoken by Mr. Davis…
October 8th, 2011 at 8:32 am
wow…. tears are rolling! No one in CT understands what this means…. time to leave work and get a beer! and some jameson
October 8th, 2011 at 8:33 am
Hard to say football will ever be the same without AL DAVIS. RIP you gave me a reason to wear silver and black you gave me and my
family a reason to watch the NFL .
October 8th, 2011 at 8:33 am
I was one that ripped Al Davis for his micromanaging ways
no I feel like I lost a father figure, hopefully the team can rally around this an win one for the gipper
that is, win a super bowl
October 8th, 2011 at 8:33 am
i love the AD quotes… keep them coming
October 8th, 2011 at 8:33 am
First Steve Jobs

October 8th, 2011 at 8:35 am
Death comes in twos…two iconic figures, Steve Jobs, now Al Davis.
You did it your way Al. Lets rally through this season and fulfill the promise you always wanted.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:35 am
“I always wanted to take an organization and make it the best in sports,’’
+++++++
Mission accomplished…
October 8th, 2011 at 8:36 am
I swear to god, the first person who posts that this is a good thing will hear me knocking on their door. Ok I’m kidding, but please show some respect guys.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:37 am
Wonder if it means enough to these players to ‘win one for Al.’ NFL not how it used to be with free agency, etc.
I know for sure there’s a coule of guys Al took a chance on that will play their hearts out for him. Couple of guys who stayed loyal through thick and thin. Hope these athletes realize how much this sh;t means to us.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:37 am

yup. We will truly see what there about in the comming days. What a sad sad day how bumbed we all fill. Good news nation im sure davis had plans moving ahead with this team apon his passing. Raider brass better keep the davis tradition goin. This will always be his team no matter what.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:38 am
Morning Nation. Just got the sad, sad news over here. I know I’ve been away for a good bit but I have read every blod and every post every day regularly. I lot of us were really pissed after the Shell and then “Lake” fiascos but my loyalty has remained firm.
I have remained elated after every win and hurt like hell after every loss but now I’m numb. I mean I know it’s just supposed to be sports but AL DAVIS man! The man is as much an ICON in America as the White House or a dollar bill. He was an individual you thought would just be here forever eliciting both unwavering loyaty and fervent anger simultaneously.
And now, the NATION he built, that he crafted has lost its SUPREME LEADER. Rest In Peace AL, your hundreds of thousands of loyal followers will miss you truly and will continue to be faithful to YOUR creation – certainly one in Philadelphia. One NATION, One LOVE, RAIDER NATION!

Al Davis.
I love the song My Way, it means a lot to me because that’s how everyone should strive to live life but few people actually do, Al Davis embodied that song as well as anyone.
Here’s to you Al Davis.
“And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case of which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way.
Regrets I’ve had a few
But then again too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way.
Yes there were times I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew….
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out….
I faced it all, And I stood tall and did it my way.
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way…
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way.
For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not…
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels…
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes it was my way.”
October 8th, 2011 at 8:39 am
Defense better be stout sunday! Don’t embarrass or let him down!
October 8th, 2011 at 8:40 am
Some of you got what you wanted. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. The NFL will NEVER be the same without Al Davis.
AL,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS GAME WE LOVE. YOU WILL TRULY BE MISSED. A PIECE OF ALL OF US HERE IN THE RAIDER NATION HAS DIED AND GONE WITH YOU. JUST WIN BABY! COMMITTMENT TO EXCELLENCE! TEAM OF THE DECADES! PRIDE AND POISE! THE AUTUMN WIND IS A RAIDER….THANK YOU AL. YOU WILL LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS AND THE RAIDERS WILL CONTINUE YOUR LEGACY
October 8th, 2011 at 8:40 am
Somewhere Coach Al is running a 4.24 40
You will be missed Coach AL
R.I.P
October 8th, 2011 at 8:40 am
Been a Raider fan since 1968 and respected Mr. Davis all of that time. The man not only used his vision to create a great franchise but was also a key factor in making the AFL a force not to be ignored. He was a major force in professional football as we know it today and will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace, Sir.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:40 am
Uniforms, philosophy, logo, scouting, contracts, scheme, coaching, business. Al did it all. He wasn’t perfect, but he built the team we all love from the ground up. Took the worst team in the AFL and turned ‘em around in a year and remade them in his image.
The Raiders will survive Al, we all knew this of course. But they’ll always BE Al.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:40 am
59; death comes in THREES. something else is brewing. . .
October 8th, 2011 at 8:40 am
I’ve had a picture of Mr Davis overlooking my home office for years. I’ve disagreed with a few of his choices in the past, but like you would a close family member, I never allowed it to change the love and respect for the greatest NFL mind in history.
Thanks Brien for letting me know this AM, try to keep it together brah. I got a feeling this is gonna light a fire under this team.

Al, I will always remember you for your iconoclastic methods, your attitude, your innovations, your rivalries, all the conspiracy stories. . .
But most of all,
Al, you put ogether a team tha gave me ai identity. Ice Tea may say the Raiders brought Hip Hop to LA, but you brought a whole competative attitude to me.
It follows me everywhere. Where I come from, I am known as a Raider.
Different. Innovative. Full of attitude & pride.
The image of the Raider. Thanks for that, Al.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:43 am
How does this team get better now with the passing of Coach Davis like the haters hoped for? It doesn’t. Al Davis will still rule the Raiders and they will be great because of him.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:44 am
R.i.p. Mister davis he was one owner tha truly loved his team
I wonder what effect this will have on the defense since davis clearly had a strong hold
On it
October 8th, 2011 at 8:45 am
This is the one time St. Peters look at his who’s coming in today list and said ohhh fcccckkkkk. This dude is going to litigate my a$$ in front of God forever.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:46 am
Rest in peace, Al Davis. My condolences to his wife and son today. Mr. Davis was definitely the pioneer of diversity in the NFL. As a diehard Raider fan, I learned that pro sports is about winning. I love all my Oakland teams, but there is a certain passion for the Raiders that is in me, and can only be credited to the fighter in Al Davis. One thing that has to be said: Al did it his way! God Bless you, Al Davis.

at 29 yrs of age, i have been a Raider fan for 22 years. In the second grade i wrote a fan letter to the Raiders and recieved a raider poster and a letter back thanking me for being a fan. the letter had a stamped signature of Al Davis. At that time i didnt know who Mr.Davis was. Even though he didnt sign it personally that has always been a key moment for me.

i’m putting up $500 on oak this weekend! If the team can’t be inspired enough, have enough respect for, or get added fuel from losing the owner who loves everyone of them then they suck! I personally want to play right now (but i’m old and fat now)! Hit someone!

Speechless. Cannot remember a time when Al Davis was not the Raiders. Al = Raiders. Stunned.
You knew there had to be a reason Al was no longer travelling with the team and showing up at practices… that was pretty unprecedented… but I had no idea his health had gotten this far.
Rest in Peace, Al. You were one of a kind.

Man, I was watching college gameday and I saw the ticker at the bottom say “….. since 1963….” and didn’t have to read the rest. I knew. Fck.

October 8th, 2011 at 8:56 am
RIP AL! You will never die with THE NATION!!! Say what you will about the Man…but you cannot deny the greatness of what he has done! WE LOVE YOU AL!
October 8th, 2011 at 8:56 am
WOW. I am actually extremely sad about his passing. Really, I can’t picture the Raiders without Al. Of course they will go on, but he truly was the face of the organization.
This team needs to dedicate the season to him and go win the superbowl, one last one for him.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:57 am
A CODE BLACK has been issued in the name of Al Davis, the greatest football mind in history.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:58 am
HOLY CRAP!!!!!
We knew this day would come, but now I don’t know what to think.
Let’s all be respectful, at least until after the game on Sunday.
That means you KoolKell and RMR.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:58 am
Although the Raiders haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1983 and have just three seasons with records over .500 in 15 seasons since returning to Oakland, Davis achieved his goal of making his team one of the most recognizable franchises in professional sports.

FCK you, Jerry. This should not be in the first half of your article. Yeah, it has to be said, cause the man was human and we haven’t been that good in a while, but come on.

The passion this man had for the RAIDERS was Huge. He Loved this team as I love my Children!! That is what he is all about! As much as it pained me to watch the Raiders the last 7 years Imagine what it was like for MR. Davis.
He Was, Is, and Always will be the Raiders.

October 8th, 2011 at 9:01 am
Sometimes I wondered what this day would be like, I have to say I wasn’t ready…
Nealry 30 years following this team because of the identity forged by Al Davis…good times and bad times, I was always proud to be a Raider fan.
It’s weird man, it’s not like I knew the guy but damn it almost feels like I did…
Al there will never be anyone like you again and there will never by another team like your Raiders.
October 8th, 2011 at 9:01 am
Mr Davis will never truly be gone. Everyone here knows that. Do you think “Commitment to Excellence” or “Just Win Baby” are going to be forgotten? C’mon Mayne

October 8th, 2011 at 9:03 am
I didn’t think I would be so emotionally effected by this but I am. With that, I realize that it is because Al is The Raiders. I live the Raiders. I’m such a geek for this team. The colors and attitude drew me in as a kid and I have never been able to let go. Now, the man that is solely responsible for making The Raiders what they are is gone.
Long Live Davis, Long Live the Silver & Black.
One Nation Under Al.
GO RAIDERS!

Al not only build the most popular and succesful sport franchise, but he also built a culture in all of sports. In the whole world. I am actually watery eyed over this.
RIP AL. The team needs to wear BLACK tomorrow. My condolences to the Davis family and to all of us TRUE RAIDER FANS. Because no matter what you thought of him this past few years, there is no denying that the Raiders are who they are because of him.

What’s going to happen to our beloved raiders now? I was secure in the knowledge that eventually Davis would win again. I have no clue what to expect now. Will this team even stay here? Just when he finally had a coach that fit & his players were proving him right. & the fans werer coming back.
I am hurting bad today!

October 8th, 2011 at 9:09 am
Its good to have the Nation on this blog to talk it out and share our grief. This reminds me of when my dad passed, also at 82. He’d been failing for years, and I expected it at any time. Still when my brother called to tell me he was gone, it was a total shock.
Eveyone, just know that Coach Al is now prowling the sideline and drawing up plays in a MUCH better game.

Mistic, I truly believe Al put Hue in place because he knew that Hue was an extension of him on the field and embodied the Raider way. Think Hue gonna handle the team on the field and Amy gonna hold it down up top.

My sympathy to the Davis family and staff.
Question: Can the Raiders pull themselves together enough to play Sunday?
October 8th, 2011 at 9:18 am
We should all aspire to be as accomplished in our own dreams as Al Davis. Whether you agreed with anything he ever did or not, he always did HIM. That is someone I will always respect and look up to. Al Davis is the reason I love the Raiders. It takes a certain type of person to be a Raiders fan. I mean a real Raiders fan, not a bandwagon fan who “likes” them here or there. Im referring to people who genuinely LOVE the Raiders. Raiders fans know what it is to be rejected, despised, misunderstood, and not just in a football sense, but in LIFE. Where being a Raiders fan is truly just a metaphor for WHAT and WHO you are in life. Al Davis was THAT, and his teams, good or bad, were ALWAYS a reflection of HIM. THAT is how a BOSS lives. I am incredibly sad right now. Al Davis was the last man, non relative, person who I never met, that I knew I would actually be in tears for when they were gone. So I’ll let that be, but Im going to smile at the same time, knowing in my heart and mind, I am a better man for looking up to Al Davis in this lifetime.
Burnin one for Al Davis.
October 8th, 2011 at 9:18 am
RIP Mr. Davis…
Your legacy will never be forgotten,
THANK YOU for everything…
October 8th, 2011 at 9:18 am
We hear all the time about Al’s shortcomings as a GM and also his achievements when we were winning, kings of Monday Night, etc.
How bout how Al took care of Raider family members, ex players, fans, etc.?
I know the thing in SD during the SB is a blemish, but I’ve heard way too many great stories from individuals saying Al helped them get to the game or Al responded to a letter, etc.
October 8th, 2011 at 9:19 am

i hope all u idiots who bashed this man and poked fun at how he looked are happy. so many of you wanted him to sell the team and thought that we would be better for it can go to hell. there was alot of things that made me sick about him but that man was an icon and did everything he could to make his team better which is more than i can say for most owners especially the A’s owners. none of u know how to put a team 2gether but had all the damn answers. you had no respect for history or what this organization stood for. he fugged up moving the team to LA but brought them back. those of us from OAKLAND have always been made to feel inferior in the phony azz bay area but this team fit our rebellious spirit. its a reason why we say once a raider always a raider and he is a big reason why. if mr or any other jackazz comes on here talkin sh!t about him the moderators better ban their azz.fugg all these media haters who have talked sh!t who will now kiss his azz. its up to all u players and coaches now to win this damn superbowl THIS YEAR for him, no excuses. i didnt always like you or what u did but thanks for the memories and MY OAKLAND RAIDERS. i cant believe im tearin up over this sh!t. lets get behind this team more than ever raider brothers.
RIP AL DAVIS.

October 8th, 2011 at 9:39 am
Word from espn’s bill williamson.
“The NFL stopped for a moment Saturday.
Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis has died. He was 82.
There is going to be a lot said and even more written about the Raiders owner as we prepare to kick off another NFL weekend.
Soak it all in.
Use any word you want to describe Davis: legend, pioneer, outlaw, renegade. Each applies. He will never be duplicated or forgotten.
The Raiders won three Super Bowl titles under the ownership of Al Davis.
Davis did it all his own way. He didn’t always make friends in the NFL over the years, but he earned a lot of respect. Expect the tributes to fly in faster than a classic Raiders wide receiver.
He fought wars with the league, other owners and even some of his own coaches and players. He was a difficult man to deal with for a lot of people over the years.
But he was also a caring man who bled Silver and Black.
Sadly, this news isn’t a shock. Davis has been in poor health for some time. He has been using a walker for years. He did not travel to Buffalo in Week 2 in the Raiders’ last road trip.
But make no mistake — Al Davis will be in Houston with his team on Sunday as the Raiders try to boost their record to 3-2. The Raiders were Davis’ life. That’s all he lived for.
The man famous for coining the phrase “Just Win, Baby” lived his life that way. I’m truly convinced All Davis cared about nothing other than seeing his team win.
It is bittersweet that his death comes at a time that his team is finally showing signs of resurgence. If the Raiders do push their way into the playoffs for the first time in nine years, it will be because of Davis’ work.
There’s a lot of talent in Oakland and every player on that roster is there because Davis picked him.
Despite his declining health and advanced age, Davis ran this team nearly up until the time of his death.
He picked the players in the last draft and he even negotiated most of the contracts himself.
Many agents have told me of their intense conversations with Davis as recently as last month. He worked every day trying to make the Raiders a winner.
The Raiders were always and will forever be Al Davis’ team.
There will be questions about what happens to the Raiders now following Davis’ death. All that will be sorted out. What is important now is a time to reflect on a man who changed football.
The Raiders flew to Houston late Friday night and awoke to the news of Davis’ death Saturday morning. A team spokesman said it’s a very “difficult” time for the team.
First-year Raiders coach Hue Jackson loved Davis. He called him “Coach Davis.” Jackson relished the chance Davis gave him to coach an NFL team and he relished the opportunity to pick Davis’ brain.
Raiders players also loved Davis. He had his players’ backs and he often paid them handsomely. Several Raiders in recent years have been the highest paid at their position because Davis valued them so much.
This is not just a sad day in Oakland. It’s a sad day for the entire sports world.
We lost a legend, a pioneer, an outlaw and a renegade.”
October 8th, 2011 at 9:40 am
i know Coach Davis will never rest in peace till we win that next Super Bowl that he worked so hard for,,,there will never be another one like him and its time for the boys to step up and deliver the only fitting memorial to the greatest ever…it’s fitting that the Autumn Wind is blowing today. God Bless You Coach Davis

The only fitting poeple to be hired as a GM would be Otto, Madden or Parcels. I say Parcels because Al would have hired him in a minute.
October 8th, 2011 at 9:41 am

In a family filled with niner fans, as a a kid I was drawn to the Raiders. Everything about the brand connected with me as a person, and my condolences go out to the family of the man who hand built this legendary brand. RIP COACH DAVIS! You will be missed!

MY WIFE WHOS ONLY BEEN A FAN FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS IS EVEN HURTING OVER THIS ONE.WELL MR DAVIS AT LEAST I CONVERTED A BEAUTIFUL PATSIES FAN OVER TO THE DARK SIDE FOR YA.SHE’LL BLEED SILVER N BLACK 4 THE REST OF HER DAYS.WE LOVE U AL!
October 8th, 2011 at 9:44 am
Only Al…
Note from espn’s Mike Sando today:
“Al Davis’ legend will live long after his passing at age 82.
A quick personal recollection:
Colleague Bill Williamson and I were among several reporters standing in a hotel lobby at the NFL owners meeting in 2009. Davis was in failing health, but his mind remained sharp.
Using a walker, Davis made small talk as he approached deliberately and with great determination. When one of the reporters mentioned the massive contract Davis had handed to cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha a month or so earlier, Davis joked that Willie Brown, the Raiders’ long-retired Hall of Fame corner, was asking for similar money.
Davis paused to gather himself.
He asked each of us standing there to identify ourselves, at which point Davis would process the information as if determining our handshake worthiness.
Each time, he would extend his hand and say, rather generously, what a pleasure it was to meet us.
This went on for a few moments before Davis turned his attention to Casey Pearce, who was standing nearby. Pearce works for the St. Louis Rams’ media relations staff now. He worked for the San Diego Chargers at the time, but Davis had assumed he was one of the reporters gathered for the owners meeting.
Pearce introduced himself, and when he identified his employer as one of the Raiders’ principal AFC West rivals, Davis reacted as only Davis could.
He looked Pearce in the eye, sized him up from head to toe, pulled back his hand and said with a perfectly measured trace of competitive disdain, “We’ll see you in the opener.”
October 8th, 2011 at 9:44 am
There is no shame in admitting that you wept over our loss. I think most everyone here loves the Oakland Raiders beyond reason, and Al Davis WAS the Raiders. Losing Coach Al is like losing a piece of our souls, or a close family member. Tears are part of the healing process of grief, and part of what makes one a human being.
CODE BLACK remains in effect.
October 8th, 2011 at 9:44 am
I wish I could be at the home game next week. It is going to be a truly amazing thing to behold.
October 8th, 2011 at 9:44 am

October 8th, 2011 at 9:45 am
Tomorrow’s game and really this season, has taken on a whole new meaning.
RIP Mr. “Coach” Davis
We can focus on what this will ultimately change in the orgnaization/General Management of personnel, in the offseason.
For now, there is only one thing to discuss and focus on:
Winning the whole f-ing thing!!
October 8th, 2011 at 9:45 am
R.I.P Al Davis I didn’t always agree with your decisions but who am I to tell you what to do with your team when I eventually become General Manager of the great Raiders I will do you proud

He was in clear charge of the Raiders until the very end and as a Raider fan for the past 30+ years how can you not admire him and take pride in that. Ultimately, he was the reason we all became Raiders fans.
I still remember how he commented on Pete Rozelle’s passing, his great nemesis of many years, with class and grace… We should all do the same because Mr. Davis certainly deserves it.

I am completely stunned! I’ve been a Raider fan since the AFL days and cannot even comprehend my team without Big Al at the helm. I know I did not always agree with him, but I always respected him. Davis always gave people a second chance. He was loyal to a fault. Lets hope the team can win this year and dedicate the season to him. Rest in peace, Al. You will be greatly missed in the football world and especially Raider nation.

i still cant believe this day has come. i just knew we would get to another superbowl within the next 3 years first. damn damn damn. yes we must win the whole damn thing. if this doesnt motivate them to play up to their potential i dont know what will. there are alot of highly paid players and a few reaches for draft picks that need to step their game up now. all this talk of scheme is bs. the only way the run d will be fixed is if it fix itself. that means these fuggers need to tackle better. i better some them play mean for the rest of this year. like a bunch of crazed dogs out there.

Just a couple days ago I wrote, one more time, in defense of Coach Davis, as folks here in this blog and everywhere were bagging on Mr. Davis relentlessly, many of them would even write of how “they would dance on his grave.” As I called it on Thursday, scathing condemnation.
Well, here passes a great man, a living legend in his time, one of the greatest innovators in the history of professional sports, a highly unique individual, one who rose from assistant coach to owner to commissioner, and dedicated throughout his lifetime to win, and to strive for pride and a commitment to excellence. It’s only too bad that he wasn’t able to see his current team achieve the success he worked so hard to obtain.
May he forever be remembered in the hearts and spirits of the mighty Raider Nation. The one and only.

October 8th, 2011 at 10:06 am
Wearing black and silver all weekend and one day at work, which is strictly shirt and tie. Sorry work, but a Raider fan has to do what he has to do.
Dang! No Al is too strange to think on.
As some have noted he did give many guys second chances and they owned those revivals. He also gave a few guys their very first chances in the football world. Guys others wouldn’t have. My only misgiving with the man is how he treated Marcus Allen years ago….I never got that one.
Still, Oakland takes a monstrous knee to the turf today.
Going to be VERY interesting hearing the words of players, present and former, along with owners on how they felt about Al. It’s going to be mega RESPECT-FEST.
Man, tough day, just tough…
October 8th, 2011 at 10:06 am
Wow, I’m stunned just like the rest of you. I had my problems with Al at times, many of us did. However, it was just differences in opinion and the bottom line was that I’m not a coach and I surely don’t understand the inter-working of a football organization. So, I was probably wrong most of the time.
My condolences to the Davis family. My Al R.I.P.
If we don’t win Sunday, then our players have not given it their all. Win this one for the Gipper (AL)!
Go Raiders…we’ll miss you AL. It’s just not going to be the same.

For those of you that don’t quite understand what just happened, Al Davis was a football man. The last of the great football men. Guys that literally invented the game. George Halas, Paul Brown and the last one standing: Al Davis. We were very very fortunate to have a football man own our team. Not a silver baron, not some guy who made a fortune hawking cable TV, but a football guy. And there is one thing I can guarantee you all, as much as you all love the Oakland Raiders it pales in comparison to how much that old football guy loved the Raiders.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:09 am
Where are those disrespectful people that had the nerve to say that hey will dance on his grave? I know, I seen them say that too, but…I dare yo to do so! Al will rise and crush the living daylights out of you all!

Probably why I have followed the team for so long. Buck convention and most importantly, gave people an opportunity where others just talked about it.

October 8th, 2011 at 10:16 am
I grew up in the Rocky Mtn area where everyone is a Broncos fan and the house in which I grew up was no exception. My first real act of rebellion as a child was to become an Oakland Raiders fan. It wasn’t because they were popular, it was because they were reviled. It was because they had a swagger that the other teams didnt have, and it was palpable enough for a child to identify. It was because they had players like Lester Hayes, Todd Christiansen, Jim Plunkett, Rod Martin. The players that were unique in every aspect. There was something about putting on a Raiders cap that made a person think twice about starting any beef with you. It was because their owner wore crazy looking bejeweled glasses sometimes and he would kick your a$$ if you said anuthing about them. He would thumb his nose at the league when he thought it was warranted, but rescue the league in labor talks the next day. He looked West coast, but was East coast to the bone. He made the Raiders his franchise, but when he did he also made it mine. RIP Al Davis.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:16 am
I am glad I was at Al’s last game, last Sunday. It was a privaledge.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:16 am

Will be interesting to see what kind of tribute or anything they may have for Al tomorrow.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:16 am
Al Davis was so far ahead of his peers that it is unreal. He knew football way more than the current owners. He knew business way more than the former owners. He knew social progressiveness more than most people of the 60’s and 70’s and even closer to modern day (Trask). He was always ahead. He did it his way, which more often than not was the right way. Viva Al Davis. Viva Raiduhs. Just win, baby.

October 8th, 2011 at 10:19 am
Passing comments about Al, thought most of us Raiders fans, especially who have been around a long, long time, will know these facts. Few facts among many.
Al was key to bringing the two leagues together.
Al has done more for ex-players and coaches than any other owner.
Al was the first to hire an “Hispanic head-coach,” Tom Flores (Two-Super-Bowl wins, coached ten years).
Al was the first to hire a “Black head-coach” (Art Shell) First time 5 years, 2nd time, One year.
Al was the first to put a women as a “CEO” of a major sports franchise, (Amy Trask, 14 years.
Al is the only teams in all sports to have “Six” different languages on his web-site, truly reaching out to the world and in line with his concept of “RAIDER NATION.”
Al is one of the top contributers to Youth Activites around the league, both financially and with player and team involvement.
Al was consistent and true to his beliefs concerning football and he took no shzt from anyone, especially the various Commissioners.
Al was a true Raider, Al was the Raiders.
May Al R.I.P.

October 8th, 2011 at 10:23 am
Just for a perspective; most of y’all who blog are fortunate enough to live in proximity to Our Beloved Raiders. When I get down to the bay I feel as if I am @ home for many reasons. So, when you see a fellow football fan chances are they are also a Raider fan (unless you are forced to do business in the west bay). Pretty easy to observe proper ettiquette. Also; if you made a conscious decision to wear Raider gear for the remainder of the season you would get no flack.
Well, here in the PNW I already heard something from a guy @ Starbucks. He said, “hey, man. maybe now you guys will start winning.”
I walked up to him & said, “good thing Paul Allen survived cancer. That alone will guarantee two more decades of mediocre Seahawk football. If you remain so lucky. And walked off. To a silent store.
So, y’all. At least you don’t have to deal with that sh%t!

I feared this day for a long time. I woke up this morning to a phone call from my sister saying Al died. I just hung the phone up. Shocked I got dressed in my raider gear and came to work. I can’t even remember driving in or what I listened to on the radio. I am still in shock.
I don’t know what will happen with the franchise we all love, but I know there will be a lot of former Raiders offering help and guidance to Carol and Mark.
As my eyes tear up all I can think is RIP Al You were the Best of the bunch of Misfits.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:26 am
i swear i dont wanna hear sunday night how good a guy Al Davis was from Al Michaels.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:26 am
Trask will run the operation, i’m sure she’s done more than we think the past few years. Al was always smart, i’m sure he planned for this day

***********************************************
Wow, I didn’t even think of that.. I’m glad I was there too. I got to meet B@uce, Hwrdrdr, and other friends from this blog.
Now I’m getting my drink on in my Raider cup I got from the game last week. Who’s with me?

October 8th, 2011 at 10:29 am
I’m with ya Plunk…
hope they leave the lights off in the owners box for the rest of the season, won’t be the same without him…
October 8th, 2011 at 10:29 am
ISNT AL MICHAELS THE 1 WHO HAD BEEF WIT DAVIS?
October 8th, 2011 at 10:29 am
I am actually feeling sad so I can only imagine how his family and the team feel. They better play lights out dedicate this season to Al 11-5 he’ll be watching over us in the playoffs
October 8th, 2011 at 10:29 am
Here’s some speculation about the #322 questions.
Amy Trask will handle all business aspects of the team.
Hue will handle all football aspects.
All with the blessings of his wife and son.
Just my guess. But knowing Al, he probably left detailed steps of what to do.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:30 am
I’m glad I wasn’t one of those fools that wanted him gone!! Well the great Al Davis is now gone!! Happy?… I guess now were going to win the Superbowl. ….idiots!!
October 8th, 2011 at 10:31 am
Know man in the history of American sports has given his organization such a definitive identity, image, and culture. He arguably did more for equality and innovation in the NFL than any other owner. The Nation posts are making me tear up

Sad news….sad day
Got a big knot in my throat….still can’t believe it.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:32 am
Emr.. I wish john Madden would get involved and become some type of general manager. . Keep this team the way al Davis would want it… keep the al Davis image embodied in the team… Man this sucks!!
October 8th, 2011 at 10:33 am
The Shield will mean more than it ever has! Love you Al
October 8th, 2011 at 10:34 am
Amy Trask, “Al Davis will own the team in perpetuity. “
October 8th, 2011 at 10:34 am
Al probably said Fck it and call this life quits when the doctors told him he cant travel to the games.
This was his way of making sure he will be at every game.
Who knew there was a Raider Shield on Heavens gates.
Raider for eternity.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:35 am
MR, please just go away. Everybody knows it is you under a new name.
The Raider family lost our father today. Either come in and mourn with the rest of us or please leave the room.
If you have a shred of humanity, show it for this single blog entry.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:36 am
Anything else from twitter?
October 8th, 2011 at 10:36 am
Think about this. Al Davis spent every moment of his life fighting to make this team a winner again, all the way up until the moment he died.
I have nothing but love & respect for Al Davis

There are guys on this team that no one beloved but Al. Guys like hu jack, jc, missle mike dhb, DVD & others. I would expect these dudes to go balls to the wall for the rest of their time in our colors!

I have never cared when a celebrity or public figure dies. This is different, & I knew it would suck. I didn’t know it would hurt. I’m gonna get drunk today & spill a little liqour for Al Davis, one of the few things to bring positive light to my beleaguered city.
Today a part of Oakland died.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:46 am
R.I.P. BIG AL. condolences goes out to all his family and friends. I hope this is a wake up call to all the players on our team who are just collecting checks.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:46 am
R.I.P Al Davis, for the past 41 years you have given me an my family a passion for and tremendous pride to be part of Raider Nation. Regardless of the highs and some lows your commitment to excellence was unmatched by any NFL owner in my lifetime. your combination of being a maverick and a visionary will impact the nfl and raidernation forever.

October 8th, 2011 at 10:50 am
Two great genius’ have passed in a matter of days: Al Davis & Steve Jobs. Both critical to the organizations they created. Both significant contributors to their own areas of interest. Both giants within their own spheres of interest.
To sum it up, there will never, in our lifetime, be another Steve Jobs or another Al Davis.
RIP Al Davis. You made a difference and will be missed.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:51 am
I’m gonna fill my flat screen full of 40cal holes, if i have to listen to all these fucs talk about how great Al was. knowing that for the past few years they all laughed and talked schyt about him. R.I.P.

Brings the thought to mind, “What’s it mean to be a Raider fan without you?”
Wish our guys had given you a win for your last game, but I bet they line up tomorrow and make it happen for you.
Just win baby!

October 8th, 2011 at 10:55 am
Skinny….what you play it on?
October 8th, 2011 at 10:55 am
By any measure, Al Davis was a great man. One of the requirements of being such a person is that you have to believe in yourself, and that was sometimes Al’s problem. Ironically, just at the end, I took back my loyalty to the team after 43 years because of the way Al had been handling things. That nonetheless takes nothing away from how high I hold him in esteem. He made more of an impact on the game than any other person in professional football history. His passing marks the end, really, of the pioneers of the game as it is played today.

The New York Times columnist Dave Anderson, a frequently harsh critic, once wrote: “Al Davis can’t be all bad; it just seems that way.” But when Mr. Davis complained to Anderson about the criticism, Anderson could not help reporting that the conversation was fraught with charm:
“Why do you always use that word when you write about me?” Mr. Davis asked Anderson.
“What word?” replied Anderson, who then wrote:
“ ‘Sinister,’ said Al Davis. ‘You always call me sinister.’
“ ‘I thought you’d consider that word to be a compliment.’
“ ‘Well, yeah,’ he said, ‘but my mother reads The Times.’ ” R.I.P.

Do you remember what Eleanor Roosevelt said to then Vice President Harry S. Truman when he offered his condolences following the passing of FDR?
“Oh, Harry, I’m sorry for you. You’re the one that’s in trouble now.”

i hope all u idiots who bashed this man and poked fun at how he looked are happy. so many of you wanted him to sell the team and thought that we would be better for it can go to hell. there was alot of things that made me sick about him but that man was an icon and did everything he could to make his team better which is more than i can say for most owners especially the A’s owners. none of u know how to put a team 2gether but had all the damn answers. you had no respect for history or what this organization stood for. he fugged up moving the team to LA but brought them back. those of us from OAKLAND have always been made to feel inferior in the phony azz bay area but this team fit our rebellious spirit. its a reason why we say once a raider always a raider and he is a big reason why. if mr or any other jackazz comes on here talkin sh!t about him the moderators better ban their azz.fugg all these media haters who have talked sh!t who will now kiss his azz. its up to all u players and coaches now to win this damn superbowl THIS YEAR for him, no excuses. i didnt always like you or what u did but thanks for the memories and MY OAKLAND RAIDERS. i cant believe im tearin up over this sh!t. lets get behind this team more than ever raider brothers.
RIP AL DAVIS.

Its been a struggle seriously. But now i will have the wording RIP AL DAVIS. I think that would be perfect. Thanks davis and the raider organization for giving us raider nation fans an escape from the every day grind from are normal lives.

IT’S HARD TO DESCRIBE WHAT WAS GOING ON INSIDE, THE SUN THAT WAS YOU, HAS LEFT ME TO DIE. THE FIRE WE SHARED THAT BURNED HOT AND INTENSE, REFUSED TO LIGHT, THE STARS WERE LEFT ALWAYS TO BE MY TEARS ON THE DARKEST NIGHT. THE LAUGHTER FROM YOUR CHEER IS A DISTANT ECHO ON THESE OFF WHITE WALLS, NO LONGER A SAFETY OR SOLACE IN TIMES WHEN I WOULD EMOTIONALLY FALL.
IT’S HARD TO DESCRIBE WHAT TERMINATION HAS ACHIEVED, THE HOLE THAT IS LEFT INSIDE CAN NEVER BE APPEASED. THE PAIN WAS SO STRANGE IT HUNG HEAVY LIKE A WEIGHT, IT PULLS, NOW, ON MY HEART AS IF I AM ABOUT TO SUFFOCATE.
IT’S HARD TO DESCRIBE HOW A LOVE THAT IS SO LONG IGNORED, CAN EVENTUALLY TAKE ITS TOLL, EVEN UNDOUBTEDLY, CRIPPLING AND DESTROYING THE STRONGEST OF SOULS. WE FACED LIFE TOGETHER EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, THE SADNESS OF LOST MEMORIES BRINGS NOTHING BUT LONELINESS AND TEARS.
IT’S HARD TO DESCRIBE IN HOPING THAT THERE IS NO TOMORROW, FOR ALL I HAVE NOW IS TO SWIM IN AN OCEAN OF SORROW. MAY YOUR MINDS EYE RECOLLECT WITH VIVID COLOR AND A BEAUTY AND WARMTH IN YOUR HEART, GOODBYE MR. DAVIS, WE WILL BE FOREVER APART. PLEASE REMEMBER RAIDER FANS HOW HE TOUCHED YOUR LIFE, GLORY, SUCCESS, ADMIRATION AND SOMETIMES STRIFE. HOPEFULLY THE POOLS THAT CASCADE DOWN OUR FACES IN SALTED STREAMS, WILL BE EXTINGUISHED BY HOPE, HAPPINESS AND THE REALIZATION OF AL’S DREAMS…..REST IN PEACE….LOVE….77
