1. The Chargers beat the Raydurz in the season opener, then lost three of four.
2. The Giants pasted the Raydurz and went from 5-0 to 6-5.
3. The Jets have lost 3 straight since demolishing the Raydurz.
Clearly, the Bengals and the Eagles knew what they were doing in going belly up against Al Davis' slave ship. They may not be leading the Cellar, but in their own way they set the standard that others look down to.
Also, yesterday I was channel surfing and I came across a piece about the '83 Raiders and watched the great Marcus Allen talk about the bizarre treatment he received from Al Davis, which I had almost forgotten about. You may have forgotten, but Al limited Allen's playing time just because he didn't like him, and was a bigger star than Al before he ever arrived there.
Once, during a practice, when Allen asked Davis if he could run more (get more carries in the game), Al said "You can take some more laps around the track, if you like."
It's all coming back to haunt Al now.
