A funny story going back to when he drafted Gene Upshaw,Al wanted him all along but was being pressured to get some other player Al finally gave in but when the card went up it was Upshaw,and I truly believe Al Davis does have the golden touch when loyalty is not involved like Todd Marinabitch(His father was a coach with us) and here we are again with Long,Al is truly predictable,and if there really was a Quinn vs. J.R. feud last year..Al came out the fuggen winner in more ways than one.
