Raiders88: did you really know all this or did you google the answers?

I knew them. However I did not know how much Al Davis bought the team for until about a week ago when an Al Davis tribute was on TV, it was mentioned in the tribute. I came across the Browns vs. Raiders all time series record on a gameday preview article in the newspaper a few days before the game. All the other questions I've heard the answers before

$18,000.00

8. What rival NFL coach did Al Davis sue for slander because that coach called one of the Raiders players a "criminal" for his clothesline tackle on an opposing player?

Chuck Noll who called George Atkinson a criminal for a clothesline tackle on Lynn Swann. Of course, Chuck was just upset that someone else had the audacity to use the same tactics that his own team was regularly guilty of.

9. In 1960 a "Name the Team" contest was held to name the new Oakland AFL franchise. The name that the fans voted for was NOT "The Raiders" and was, obviously, ultimately rejected. What was that name?

The Oakland Senors

Randolph Scott

11. What Stadium or stadia did The Oakland Raiders play their home games in in their first 2 seasons? (Hint: it is obviously not their current stadium)

Either Candlestick Park or Kezar Stadium. They played in both. Of course Kezar Stadium is perhaps best known for when Dirty Harry ground The Scorpion Killers leg into the dirt on its field.

12. The Raiders did play a home game in another stadium once and only once in their history due to a conflict with the Oakland As playing a playoff game. In that game, played in 1973 the Raiders broke the Miami Dolphins undefeated string after their perfect 1972 season.

What stadium was this game played in?

Cal-Berkely's Memorial Stadium

Bonus: The Raiders have not retired any jersey numbers in their history....but...there is one jersey number worn by a former Raiders great player that will never be worn again. Name the number and the player who wore it.

00 Jim Otto. The NFL decreed that the number 00 could not be used. The number was given to him not only to depict the first and last letter of his name, but also because it can be a homophone of his name, i.e. "Aught-Oh".
