My Senior year (1975) Our coach sent me to Oakland to pick that Autumn Wind highlight film, I NEVER imagined Madden would bring it out to me. He was a GIANT human, he was huge.

Curt Gowdy every time he broadcast a Raiders game would repeat the phrase..."They call him the Mad Bomber here in Oakland"! I only remember it because he said it enough times. The old AFL was wide open. Stabler was a back up for awhile.

Al Davis had a knack for seeing something in a lot of people that others simply could not

He should have had Ray Guy kick his idiot son out of the stadium when he was a kid

WOW!!!.Look at the shape he was still in. Being 80, an NFL player, and having all your marbles is a feat

Especially in his day when there were few rules and these guys got their heads knocked in
