Rich Gannon formally resigned yesterday after a great career. Great for the Raiders, not so much for the other teams he played for.
Al Davis had some nice comments about Gannon, but then he used the occasion to whine, for the 1,017th time, about the (non)fumble by Tom Brady in the playoffs. How many years ago was that, Al? It is still keeping Davis awake at night!
Maybe Al should try and remember that the NFL was forced to change its rules several times because of how the Raiders bent the rules (cheated) so many times over the years. He has forgotten about the "Holy Roller" play (3 broken rules on that one alone), stick'em, and the many injured players the Raiders left in their wake in the 70's and 80's.
For many years the Raiders were the dirtiest team in football. And Madden was a big part of it. Davis' crying is still falling on deaf ears. In fact, some of us Raider-haters revel in their failures and last-minute beatings. The Brady non-fumble and the Immaculate Reception were joyous occasions to be celebrated! Get over it, Al!!
