He changed the game... not always for the better... but he sure as hell changed the game.

The guy was one of the driving forces behind the merger... probably the biggest moment in NFL history.

How long before new ownership moves them BACK to LA?

He's been dead for a while, this is just the end of the zombie phase of his existence.

sidenote: Really nice road win for the Raiders yesterday, and the emotional postgame speech by the coach also. :nod: :clap:
