As for why Al Davis reported it—I think you can probably work that out on your own.

LOL. Quite the contrary, you're wanting to imply "hurr durr no evidence then" because you can't answer or refute the evidence presented to you & just shows your desperation.
As for "deferring payments" that is provably false. Where were they deferring payments to? Couldn't possibly be to fund a new stadium as that was literally impossible given the timeline of Denver voters passing referendum 4A on Nov. 3, 1998 which was in favor of the construction of a new football stadium to replace the existing Mile High Stadium & the grounds being broken on Aug. 17, 1999.
How could they possibly be "deferring payments to fund a new stadium" in 1996, 1997, or 1998 when there was literally no such place for them to defer payments to?
It was just a bold-faced lie by Pat Bowlen when he got publicly exposed for violating & cheating the salary cap circa 2000-2002.
As for Al Davis, he wasn't right about everything, but was 100% right in this instance & all you're trying to do is employ the old proverbial copout of "can't attack the message, so attack the messenger" and if that's all you have, then you're in sad shape.
