Davis wants two more
Al Davis has been running the Raiders for 44 years. He has seen the Raiders win three Super Bowls among their 28 winning seasons and has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Sunday, he sat in a Metrodome executive suite and talked about his refusal to retire until he wins two more Super Bowls. He is convinced he can accomplish that.
He sang the praises of Culpepper and said his only regret was that some coaches persuaded him to trade Randy Moss. Otherwise he could have one of the best 1-2 punches in football back together and a winning franchise.
Oakland had the No. 1 overall pick in the April draft and took Louisiana State quarterback JaMarcus Russell, but Russell held out until the season began and has yet to play. "I want to give Daunte a chance to see what he can do," Davis said Sunday. "And so far, he has done all right."
Davis had the courage to hire Lane Kiffin as his head coach at age 31. While not critical of Kiffin, a Bloomington Jefferson graduate and former Southern California offensive coordinator, Davis said he was not happy with the team's 2-8 record.
Al will have to live until he`s 200 if this is what he wants

Sounds like those coaches were lounging around the bed and breakfast, surfing the Shark Pool and getting their info from all the "sharks" who were declaring that Randy had lost a step and was finished . . .
This is my issue in FF. I pull up short in trades because I worry too much about how it helps the other team rather than how it helps me.
