^Though not as esstatic as I first thought. Pete's been dead since '96.

Who takes over the Raiders? And who's the third celebrity?

His son Mark, I think.

I don't think he loves the game nearly as much as Al. He will likely go for a GM.

That would be great for the team imho.

His Son isn't interested in running the team.

Sounds like it's Amy Trask now.

Al should have gone for a GM 20 years ago. His "innovative" vertical offense from the 70s was dated, as of the intro of the 46 defense of Buddy Ryan, but he refused to acknowledge that.

He had a GM. Why post before you know anything?


Is this what NFL Live told you?

Probably as empowered as his coaches, in other words, they did what Al said. He wasn't the only one, though. Jerry Jones is an equally control obsessed owner who thinks he understands the game. At least Al did at one time, and the game just passed him by. JJ never understood and never will.

Their drafts with Bruce Allen were terrible.

It was after all the vets left and the young guys drafted took over that the suckage started. Al had some bad drafts in 2004 through 2006 to aid it, but it was really before that where it got bad.

They are on the right track now.

The Zsa Zsa Gabor watch is officially on. She broke her hip last year, and has been circling the bowl ever since. She was hospitalized (again) after slipping out of consciousness today.
