When you’re a team like the Raiders, formed and shaped by a maverick, an outlaw, and a genius like Al Davis, you should expect that you’re going to have some terrific moments to reflect upon in your franchise’s history. The Raiders have just that.
The Raiders have been involved in some of the NFL’s most memorable and iconic plays – plays, some of them decades old, that are still shown on ESPN highlight shows or in video histories of the league. Al Davis casts a long shadow over the league, even now, years after his death. His influence and passion for the game of football can still be felt.
