As "batshit" crazy Al Davis is, if it hadn't been for his Tenacity and Abrasiveness the AFL probably wouldn't have been such a problem for the NFL and wouldn't have been absorbed.
all interested parties should watch the HBO documentary, "AFL, Rebels With A Cause" fantastic information there. apparently When Mr. Hunt was negotiating with the NFL, the AFL was making little progress. So the AFL decided to vote Al Davis as Chief negotiator, the NFL knew there was no dealing with Davis and soon after the NFL caved and absorbed the AFL.
