Visionary or Villian, EPIC Tribute to Raiders Al Davis

I have often called Al Davis an NFL Icon and an American Icon, and the evidence is undeniable.

His impact on professional sports has changed every professional sports league worldwide, and his impact on the National Football League will never wane.

Raiders legend and my dear friend Matt Millen told me a few years ago about the NFL trying to write Al Davis out of its history books.  You can watch the video above.

Millen told me, “You always knew where you were coming from with Al Davis. He was a treasure trove for the history of the league.”

Millen then shared his deep personal sentiments about the NFL and Al Davis. “I think personally, right now, as I am looking as the narrative, is being for the NFL going forward, I believe, unfortunately, that they are trying to write him out of league history, and he was probably the main cog, especially. when it came to the merger in 1970, but they kind of blow right over him. But, Al Davis was a true force in the National Football League.”

As part of their hosting Super Bowl LVIII, CBS Sports did an epic video about Al Davis that I encourage you to enlarge to a full screen and watch, which we have featured below.
