There will likely never be a movie made about Mark Davis’ relationship with Roger Goodell and that’s a good thing for both the Las Vegas Raiders and the NFL.
One of the more fascinating themes of the upcoming ESPN 30 for 30 film, Al Davis vs. the NFL (which airs Feb. 4 on the network) is the fact that the Raiders finally have a great, state-of-the-art stadium, in Las Vegas ... 40-plus years after the Al Davis took on the league in his attempt to acquire a shiny, new stadium.
Unlike his father, Mark Davis — who took over the team in 2011 after Al Davis died at age 82 — played nice with the NFL and Goodell, its commissioner.
