All that time Al Davis kept Marcus Allen on the bench because of his ego. His ego was bigger than the NFL shield. Doing what he wanted for himself not for the best of NFL.
He put himself over the top.

Yeah, I can see an argument for him, most definitely. I'd forgotten about the Allen thing. I was thinking about the stadium moves, which can be attributed to ego, but I'm not sure the league lawsuits were ego as much as they were pure hatred and vitriol.
What prompted the Allen fight anyway? I don't think I've ever heard the full story. It seemed like Allen was a team player to move to FB when Bo Jackson waltzed into town halfway through every season. What made Al hate Allen so much?
