With Raiders week having concluded, I was surprised to find out that Al Davis immediately flew to Derrick’s bedside after his accident and offered his private plane to take him to see any specialist he wanted. There was also a report that he paid for his funeral. During the season, it’s definitely FTR all the way, but I always did like Al for being a prominent character in the history of the NFL. Now I have a ton of respect for him as a person.

    Between this and the Madden story aired on Thursday night, turns out there were a lot of great men at the top of the Raiders organization.
