While I was never a Raiders fan, I remember him he was a tough guard from many years in the Black and Silver.

Here's the news story:

If I were to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for business. I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right will make no difference." -Abraham Lincoln

True grit of football player. Used that for the players union, sometimes not so wisely, but they can thank him in part for their deals today. I liked him.
