He was born on the same day as America. RIP to a true motherfucking monster.

He parlayed coaching the team into owning the team. It was like letting the Hell's Angels play at Augusta National.

They should allow his body to lie in state at The Cow Palace under a Nazi Flag.

There is some irony in there somewhere that the Raiders have finally started getting their shit together.

RIP though. Changed the game for sure and did with style.

I was sort of hoping the title of this thread would be "Just Die, Baby" after hearing he had passed earlier today. Is there any chance that the new ownership will move this team back down to LA again?

Yeah, I was thinking about him and Steinbrenner, and how there aren't really any owners left like them in the biz.
Donald Sterling would be a bigger villain if the Clippers didn't utterly stink to epic proportions. Mark Cuban, Jerry Jones and Mikhail Prokhorov could be in the running some day, but they aren't really reviled by rival owners and fans like Al Davis or Steinbrenner.

"new" ownership is his son and the Davis family. I wonder if they'll continue to draft speed with no talent?

Cuban has the best chance. Jerry is too incompetent to ever be perceived as a threat or evil.

Local sports radio yucksters had a funny line:

"His first order of business will be to fire God and sue Rozelle to move Heaven to LA."
