Al Davis’ Commitment Is to Exasperation
So Al Davis is now suing the city of Oakland for $1 billion.
This is the same Al Davis who let Jon Gruden leave for Tampa Bay after the 2001 season and saw Gruden’s current team embarrass Davis’ Raiders in the Super Bowl this year.
I will say there is one thing that Al Davis did that turned out to be great for die-hard Denver Bronco fans like myself. If he hadn’t fired Mike Shanahan as the Raider coach during the 1988 season, there’s a very good chance that the Broncos may never have won the two Super Bowls that Shanahan’s leadership helped us win.
