Al Davis, the Hall of Fame owner of the Oakland Raiders known for his rebellious spirit, has died.

The team said the 82-year-old died at his home in Oakland on Saturday morning.

"Al Davis's passion for football and his influence on the game were extraordinary," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement released by the league. "He defined the Raiders and contributed to pro football at every level. The respect he commanded was evident in the way that people listened carefully every time he spoke. He is a true legend of the game whose impact and legacy will forever be part of the NFL."

Very sad news indeed. Rest in Peace, Al

I hope the Raiders can stay focused with this event unfolding only a day removed from their game at Houston.

Guns do not kill people. Rotting, festering, disgusting, grimy, evil, un-reparable souls kill people.

As a Broncos fan, RIP, Mr. Davis.

Now that being said, maybe now the Raiders can draft players other than overrated drugged up quarterbacks.
