buy into.
"he doesnt let his coaches, coach" ok. who gets the credit for us going to the s.b. a couple years ago? hmmm....that was the same year al won executive of the year. hmmm......
keep in mind ed, those misfits you are talking about went to the s.b. in jan of 03.
i have seen that "al, is a good gm but not a coach". really? he went 10-4 his first year with the raiders as their head coach and won coach of the year honors.
here's the grand kicker....
if al is so stupid why did lamar tag him for commish in the afl/nfl wars?
which leads to their falling out.... al was hired as commish to break the nfl who wanted a 70-30 split. after some hardball by al, the nfl all of a sudden wanted to negotiate. lamar, wanting to fall into the established blue blood order of the nfl told al to call the dogs off. that wasnt good enough for al. he wanted to castrated them. we were getting better ratings and al knew it. he didnt want to merge. lamar relented. lamar thinks al is out of control and al probably thinks lamar is a pussy.
are there any oldtimers here who know this to be true? c'mon. i know there are some old afl guys here who remember the afl stealing players from the nfl drafts and reappropriating them for the afl drafts. c'mon oldtimers... what was the final straw that sent al over the edge?
remember when the chiefs drafted gayle sayers and the nfl snagged him away from the afl draft? let's be honest here......the gayle sayers deal is what motivated the afl owners to go to war.
mean old al.
how bout lamar hired a shark to do a job all the way(bust the nfl) and when it started getting ugly, lamar called him off. one small problem. al aint a quitter. obviously. he actually worked for and didnt inherit his money.....
lot's of myth's running around about al and why he is a dirty rotten so and so. you dont always here the truth when the media and the league need a bad guy. the yankees are the bad guy in baseball. all leagues have a bad guy. it makes fiscal sense and it is good social psychology.
mean old al who went and visited dt in miami. there is another side to this "maverick" that some dont want to admit too.
