Wow. Fired on the phone without any sort of severance package. Classy move, Al Davis, thus demonstrating the undeniable fact that you continue to be one of the worst owners in sports in every way. Your on-the-field product is marred with inconsistent, inexperienced players and fallen stars (and Darren McFadden), your front office and personnel decisions are abysmal and your passionate fanbase has suffered as much as any in football lately (at least for Lions fans Millen got fired).

It sucks to see this happen to a franchise like the Raiders they used to be in the running almost every year and now they are the bottom feeders in the NFL, Al Davis needs to go away. Now I'm not a Raiders fan but Davis is a moron, I think any one of the fans that watches the Raiders could run the team better than he could.
