RIP Al Davis

trailblazer, ground breaker,pioneer and a ego that was endless in pursuit of the ultimate prize in sports. Al Davis was alot of things to different people, however the man was a everyman's kind of dude. he broke down racial barriers in the NFL at a time when the NFL didn't want to Hire Black Coaches and other Minoritys to lead a team,etc.. he always did things his way and depending on what side of the fence you were on, you either thought he was a cool cat or just in his own world. you either Loved Him or Loathed him,,however you never simply said Al Davis was just ok. he is as Important as any Player who ever played the game. he left a mark as a Sports Owner and to me all owners after him owe a debt to him because he truly was a rebel and was like his Slogan said,"Just Win Baby" prayers to his current and former players, coaches, staff, Family, friends and fans. the Man took chances and did things his way.
