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.

I doubt that, considering they lost the lawsuit blaming the carmaker for Derrick not wearing his seatbelt and driving 90 miles an hour during an ice storm.

Never mind how many kids (we'll never know for sure the exact #) need the millions Derrick used to buy his friends houses and won't ever get it.

WTH are people upset about this? The Hunt family pays for his treatment and Davis, who apparently had a lot of respect/fondness for DT makes a great gesture and pays for his funeral. Why does it have to be some kind of competition to be gracious? Between all of his extremely rich friends, his funeral was getting paid for. I don't know why some people on here need to villainize the Hunts with so little information. Just appreciate the kindness Davis showed and move the **** on.

If DT would've been a QB or had a faster 40 time we could've got the funeral paid and a 1st rounder.

So is this any more true than the "Al paid for DT's funeral" bullshit?

It's a good thing we have a rich uncle like Al Davis to bail out the struggling Hunts...

I really have no idea. He was very generous to those he cared about and could be ruthless to those he did not. Loyalty was one rule that could not be broken and if he perceived someone did not show it they were the enemy in his eyes. He accomplished as much as anyone ever has in the NFL. He purposely kept his good deeds unpublished to protect his bad guy image I guess.
He was the only owner that was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he never played nice with the rich pricks. He did more for minorities and women than anyone else in the league hands down. He was a major figure in the sport we watch and is part myth and part legend. I only met the man once and he was friendly and courteous to me. He avoided the press and did not mingle with fans often. Jim Otto helped me meet him and it is cool to have a picture of myself standing by a legend of the game~
