Al Davis, the owner of the Raiders, passed away recently. Al Davis is a true eccentric - he does what he wants and heck to everyone else. His personality really looms large over the Raiders and over the league. Now that he is gone, it's an open question how his son, Mark Davis, will manage the team.
Here's an interesting article I found on Mark Davis:
The article said that Mark Davis appears to be very different from his dad, and will probably hire someone to manage the team. I think this might be a good change for the Raiders, although of course it's sad that it happened because of Al Davis's death. Then again, it might not be that big of a change. The first move the Raiders made after Al Davis's death was classic Al Davis - trading two first round picks (pretty hefty price) for a 32-year-old quarterback who may or may not be able to play at an elite level anymore. But since Jason Campbell is out for the season, and Kyle Boller is definitely not the answer, I am hoping Carson Palmer will work out better. The Raiders have the pieces to make the playoffs this year, especially considering the sorry state of the AFC West, and hopefully Carson will take them them.
