Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 501190">Bill Ford, Sr. is 88 years old and holds only the Chairman title, appropriate since he is still the owner on paper. He falls in the figurehead category. Bill Ford, Jr. is the Vice-Chairman and he runs the show. Heck, Millen was CEO when he was ******** the pooch...he was calling all of the football operation shots and then some. Then it was Jr. who overruled the old man and got Millen fired, to the benefit of the organization. Sr. has been a figurehead for some years now. Nonetheless, Davis is dead now, though from the standpoint of the study the Raiders might be the only team worth looking at going back to 1970. Adams still holds CEO and President titles which suggests he is still active in managing the franchise...he's the only guy left who may...and that's a "may"...make football operations decisions from time-to-time, but he's likely quite a few years removed from deciding who should be graded 2nd. round on the draft board. I must say, reviewing this matter gives me no pleasure.  I'm old enough to remember these guys when they were in their prime.</blockquote>
