This is an emotional week for the legacy of the Raiders.
July 4 would have been the 92nd birthday of legendary Raiders’ owner Al Davis. He died in 2011, but his legacy lives at Allegiant Stadium when the Al Davis Torch is lit every game.
Six years ago on Thursday, Raiders Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Ken “Snake” Stabler died in his native Alabama after a battle with cancer at age 69. He would have turned 70 that Christmas Day. I remember being extremely sad over Snake’s passing ... I still am, really.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 6 years.
