Okay, he was inducted in 1992.

Knowing what we know now, would he get your vote still?

3 Super Bowls

Best record from 1963-1991 in pro sports

Does what he has done since diminish his value as a HOf'er?

You can't put #### back in the donkey.

What Hall of Fame are we talking about here?

The "Crazy-old-man-who-can-run-a-professional-franchise-into-the-ground-and-yet-still-believe-he-is-still-living-in-its-glorious-past" Hall of Fame?

1st ballot.

Edit to add: Jerry Jones is in the midst of putting together quite a resume as well.

Al Davis a Hall of Famer? But he was never once a Steeler.

Don't forget the Raiders started fantasy football.

Of course he gets in. He helped create the AFL.

Gets in? He is in.His incompetence to keep up with the changes the game has gone through has nothing to do with what he was able to accomplish in the past. For those that only key in on his current mistakes and bad decisions, I encourage you to do a bit of reading on the guy. He played a big roll in the early days of the NFL.

A lot of great athletes have embarrassed themselves in the latter part of their careers. I look at Al Davis the same way. He just hung around too long.

The guy's only got a few grains left in the hourglass. Let him ride this one out on his own terms.

Unfortunately, the same media writing #### pieces about him will be calling him a legend once he's gone.

Won't they have been correct on both counts?

Sure, for the most part.
