Raiders Owner Al Davis Dead at 82

It is a sad day for Raider Nation as Al Davis has passed away at the age of 82 today.  He was a football pioneer in his hay day, but times caught up with him and the game eventually passed him by.

I really wish he would have stepped aside years ago and let someone else take over the team.  I think you'll see this Raider team be ran much differently now.  Don't take this the wrong way, but I think the Raiders will be better off moving forward.  It's always sad to see someone go out that way though, and he will be missed around the NFL.
