Interesting reading this now after Al's gone...

An interesting fact I ran across in this article...

"Mark Davis...makes all the road trips. He and his dad always flew separately, so that in the event of a crash, one Davis would be left to run the show."

the article also mentions that Al once fired his son Mark from the Raiders about 40 years ago (as a teenage ball-boy for the Raiders) due to an incident that pissed Al off.

Always thinking ahead...

Wouldn't DeBartolo be a good thing in terms of the raiders staying in NoCal? (I only say that because of previous football ventures in this area)

If the Davis' really did want to sell (or had to sell) then I could see it being to the AEG consortium or that Ed Roski fella and heading back to Los Angeles.

I think he can go sniff somewhere else.

eddie d? really? there's already a rumor that they'll sell, even tho al's widow can inherit the team with no tax? sure the son will face a tax when his mom passes away, but that's in the future. so eddie d is going to sit around and wait for carol davis to die? you know, speculating about the future of the team is fine. there is certainly enough precedent for this issue, and the bills are the team to face it next. but to throw in eddie d's name when the team is not even for sale? fuck off.

Davis family will retain ownership of Raiders

Will Estate Taxes Force Al Davis' Family to Sell The Oakland Raiders?

Al Davis had his own staff of attorneys that worked right there at Raiders headquarters from what I've heard. The way he was always so shrewd about handling the salary cap and anything else of a legal nature, I'll bet he had this all planned out and has insured that the team will stay in his family. It sounds that way from the few comments Amy Trask has made so far. I just hope that Al didn't overestimate how much longer he would live and maybe didn't get everything established before he passed. Hopefully he had all the i's dotted and all the t's crossed.

Interesting articles…  In the end it seems to come down to business with the Raiders.  I like the fact that they let their employees help sell tickets instead of just kicking their ass to the curb… 
I am not afraid to admit that the front office is FUBAR, but at least they gave their employees the option to work in order to keep their jobs…

A column that originally appeared in The San Francisco Chronicle on Sept. 28, 1961.
This explains why the Raiders went 2-12 in 1961 and 1-13 in 1962.
