Apology not warranted or accepted. You have a right to hate a team!! Sorry, I am a little emotional about people always feeling the need to apologize.

R.I.P Mr. Al Davis. You had a huge impact on the NFL. You are a true legend in this sport. Prayers are with his family and friends.

I dont know why I was surprised when I heard this. He has looked really bad lately.

I saw Al Davis this year at training camp and he looked horrible so this didn't really come as a surprise.
If you take away the recent years when they would prop him up at the games like a Weekend at Bernies film, the man was a true legend and a leader in all respects.
He hired Art Shell who was the first NFL African American head coach in the modern era, served as a commissioner , head coach, general manager and owner.
What an impact he made on this sport.

Don't forget about Tom Flores.....first minority head coach to win a SB. Also Amy Trask....the only female CEO in the NFL.

The Bay Area loses Al Davis and Steve Jobs in the same week along with the 3 men who died in Cupertino. Tough times for the peninsula.

R.I.P. Al. You should be proud of the way your team hung on to win today.
