"Getting in Davis' way is like getting in Tony Soprano's way"
Anyone catch the shot of Madden tokin' on a cig in the sideline? ![]() A different time back then.... The bad thing about watching these videos (for me) is I get all fired up with the season still months away. Even watching the Raiders top ten plays of 2007 gets me excited for the upcoming season of RAIDERS FOOTBALL! NFL Video Galleries |

Yeah...My Son feels the same way as you (he's 21). But see the post below.
Raider4Liphe speaks the truth! Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after... It's a reckonin'. Quote:

I loved the first video and they kept on calling Lynn Swan soft.
and i learned something new. I didnt know that Al Davis went to court over moving the Raiders to LA.

The book 'The League: The Rise and Fall of The NFL' (1986), goes into great detail about that, Al Davis, and other behind the scenes looks of the other NFL owners, (1960-1985),Pete Rozelle, etc. I bought and read it in '87 and picked it up again at the library last month. Great read.

But it's just as frustrating knowing that I was only 17 when the Raiders won SB XVIII. Now I'm 42 (as of today 3/26/66 Happy Birth Day to Me and Marcus Allen!) and in need of some fresh RAIDERS FOOTBALL memories.Hopefully they come soon before my old eyes fade. Plus I don't want to get to that point where my boy tells me (at the age of 80+) that the Raiders just won the SB, and I say "Who?"..... "The Raiders Pop, they finally won!"..... and I mumble in a whisper, " Ohhhh well that's nice, good for him...he'll make a fine President.....sure is cold in here....Is the heater on "
