          Jesus, I didn't know he was in this bad shape. Too bad, I guess. As far as I knew he was in full control of the team right to the end.

          Who is going to run the show there now? Does he have a kid that will step into ownership ala Al and Randy Lerner?

          I have always heard of Al referred to as the "Managing General Partner" of the team, not "the owner".

          With him gone is there going to be a major power vacuum in the Raiders operations?

          With him gone who is now going to threaten the NFL with lawsuits? Who is going to threaten to move the Raiders back to LA?

            Why does everyone think that since someone prominent in the organization died, that they automatically win? They still gotta go out there and play like everyone else. We are equally matched and have an extra week or rest and preparation. I am not worried the slightest bit.

              Skelator was not healthy...

              It may actually have a silver lining. I'm in cali and unless they sell out they would be blacked out.. maybe now they sell out?

                Equally matched? Really? I would say we are slightly better on defense but Oakland's Offense is light years ahead of the Browns.

                DHB/Moore/Ford>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>our motley crew

                OLine may be a bit in our favor and TE is a wash.

                    keeper of the krypt (AD) has been looking pretty rough these past few years but at least he departs with 3 SB rings. I liked his "kiss my ass" persona...jfs

                                FYI- the Browns have won 5 of last 7 games vs. the Raiders on the west coast.
