The moment Al Davis went over the hill is easily definable. Sebastian Janikowski in the 1st round in 2000. All the really bad stuff happened after that.
So what. You're still dismissing my assertion, and I'm honestly not clear why. I'll make another assertion that I will always stick by that is not relevant to the conversation but I'm doing it, anyway. Goodell let Adam Jones back into the league, a guy who should never have stepped another foot on a football field again in his life, to open the door to reinstate The Dog Killer. I would go as far as to say that that's a presumptive fact. But anyway, yeah, Al Davis, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS LOSING IT, impacted what transpired with Darrelle Revis at the bargaining table. I don't understand what the problem is here. Is it defend people with dementia day . . . ?
