Well, NFL contracts aren't guaranteed, so Davis wasn't out money when Howie retired, Davis pulls blunders all the time that aren't good for the team like hiring and firing coaches every year, but a player retiring is somehow bad for Davis? I don't get that logic.

"Al Davis thought all owners were dilettantes with a new toy. He said to me many times through the years that owners are often the problem with their franchises, that too many of them think they can run things when they cannot, and the teams that succeed are the ones where the owner hires the best people he can and turns the game over to them."
