Re: Sail on Al...
Love him or hate him, he was a legend in the NFL.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Life is short, live long!!
I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

Re: Sail on Al Davis...
According to Wikipedia, Al Davis's first coaching job was as offensive line coach at Adelphi in 1950-51. That was before I was born, but I went to college at Adelphi. By time I got there, they didn't have a football team anymore. I transferred to Adelphi for my junior year in 1972, the last year of the football program was 1971.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

I never want to see anyone sail on, I don't want to say anything bad about someone that has, but as a Chiefs fan, it's definitely hard. I've only been to one Chiefs/Raiders game and it was the most intense sporting event I've ever been to. The Chiefs were a decent team, the Raiders were a terrible team and you would have thought it was a Super Bowl the way the Raiders played that day. A last minute interception in the end zone sealed the win for the Chiefs and for that rivalry I'm grateful for Al Davis.
Sail on.
