Al Davis is the worst owner in the NFL

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
This is the ultimate insult. My Lions do not have the worst owner if football. William Clay Ford tried as hard as he could to be the worst, but just came up short. What more could he do? He kept Matt Millen around forever. He kept Wayne Fontes around forever. He let great players leave rather than pay them. He destroyed one coach’s career after another. And most of all, Ford lost and lost and lost and lost and continues losing.

Alas, it was not enough. Al Davis is the worst owner in football. How sad for the once proud and powerful Raiders.

It’s hard to knock three Super Bowl titles, one AFL championship and 21 postseason appearances since Davis bought into the former AFL franchise. Problem is, the game has passed the Hall of Famer by and he seems to be the only one who doesn’t know it. Since the Raiders were blown out in Super Bowl XXVII, they’ve gone a league-worst 24-72 and have blazed through five head coaches since ‘01, including the fiasco over is-he-or-isn’t-he-fired Lane Kiffin this past season. All this ignores the real problem: that Davis is out of touch, refuses to adapt and continues to be infatuated with speedsters (this year the team inexplicably drafted Darrius Heyward-Bey with the No. 7-overall pick) instead of building a deep roster that can compete.
