Al Davis died this morning. I never met the man, and yet I still feel that a great light has been diminished from the world. By all accounts Al was a uncompromising bully, and yet this bully managed and lead one of the best sports franchises to world wide recognition. We may mock phrases like "Commitment to Excellence" and "Just Win Baby", but only because we now them to be true.
The Raider organization will be much changed by his departure and I am not wholly convinced that it will be for the better.
