He may not have been a Colt and maybe his methods were questionable at times, but Al Davis will always be remembered for being a legend that gave so much to the game of football. Whether it was through winning three Super Bowls or breaking racial barriers, Davis set a standard of excellence that he was constantly trying to exceed. Davis was responsible for hiring the first Latino head coach (Tom Flores) in the NFL and the second African-American coach (Art Shell) since the 1920s.
Hopefully the Raiders can get a big W for Al when they travel to Houston on Sunday.
Just win, baby. Rest in peace, Al.
