He was crazy ever since he took a dislike to Marcus Allen and benched him for two years. But he sure helped get the AFL up to NFL standard.
I dunno anything about him so I'm in no position to judge.RIP
Most young fans will only think of him a bat **** crazy fool. But at one time he was the Belichik of his era. And I mean football genius, not cheater.

I was thinkin the same thing.Al Davis, Felt that all of the owners double crossed him when he was the comish of the AFL. They went behind his back and agreed to the merger. He was of the opinion that the AFL had met the NFL in popularity and was going to become the more popular league because of the style of play in the AFL. He was probably right and this is why Pete Rozelle was so keen on the merger. On all three of the Raiders Superbowl rings is the AFL logo. He was one of the pioneers of modern football. Something will get named for him. Maybe the Superbowl MVP trophy?
The Packers owe him a debt of gratitude as well. Didn't Ron Wolf come from there and dare I say; Charles Woodson? Thanks Al.
