I’m sure that most of you are not old enough to remember the deal that sent Houston Oilers quarterback, Dan Pastorini to the Oakland Raiders for “The Snake” Kenny Stabler after the 1979 season, but it was late in their respective careers and neither was able to find success in their new digs.
But since Stabler spent two years in Houston with what is now the Tennessee Titans, I decided to use this morning’s links to educate you about one of the NFL’s first “Captain Comebacks”!
I lived in Oakland for the entirety of the Snake’s career in the Bay Area, and attended many Raiders games during that time.
