End Of An Era - R.I.P. Al Davis

Al Davis (July 4, 1929 - October 8, 2011) - Rest in PeaceAl Davis is unlike any sports figure in history. His singular, passionate focus on football has left an indelible mark and rich legacy. He was a true pioneer, legend, and titan of modern professional football. Davis' unyielding drive to win vaulted him from an assistant coach at Adelphi College in 1950 all the way up the ladder to an owner of a $800M+ enterprise.An end to an era brings a new chapter to Raider football. It is my sincere hope that this transition of change and uncertainty brings about an opportunity to modernize the Raiders operation and organization but keeps the spirit and essence of what Davis built the past 48 years in tact.RIP, Big Al."I don't want to be the most respected team in the League. I want to be the most feared."
