Al Davis paid for Derreck Thomas' Funeral?
Davis' softer side
If Davis kept reaching out to you, you had a loyal friend for life. Countless former players and employees got financial help, medical help or sometimes just game tickets or a friendly phone call from Davis. Davis even picked up the tab for former Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas' funeral in 2000, because his family couldn't afford it. Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...#ixzz1axqJJ4Vv |

Well, in the Hunt family's defense, they did offer a discount on parking for the visitation....

WTF? I refuse to believe Hunt would allow that to happen. If it did, then my opinion of him just went down a lot.

Not only that but he paid for HANK STRAM to have a heart specialist.
Hank Stram, the former coach of the Chiefs at a time when the Chiefs and Raiders were MORTAL enemies. http://www.profootballweekly.com/201...-one-of-a-kind

Not sure what's the problem or surprise in there?
These people are what make Al Davis who he is. If you didn't have rivals or enemies (in Sports, that is), you'd be a nobody. |

this actually bums me out as a Chiefs fan. Great on Al Davis and all these stories coming out that he was a decent dude behind the scenes, and you know stuff like this he could have came out and easily took credit for, but obviously didnt.
Gave zero ****s about all the negative shit he got from the every day NFL fan, and good stories like this get buried. But at the same time, how ****ing lame does this make the Chiefs and their owner look if true. Pathetic. |
