Al Davis and Ralph Wilson, Two AFL owners, two guys that had success long ago, both missed the teams home opener for the first time ever this year. I think Ralph is on the way out as well.
Both were huge in forming the AFL, and making the NFL what it is today. A Billion dollar industry.
The problem is the league passed them both by about 25 years ago and they soon became jokes as owners. Guys that invested 50 grand into forming a league and now have 800+ million dollar teams. They are just out of place in today's game.
Hence Al Davis' "THROW THE BALL DEEP TO FAST RECEIVERS AND HAVE A MEAN DEFENSE" mentality that worked in the 70s.
