Bo knows ... a different Al Davis

08:45 AM ET 07.12 | Bo Jackson took the opportunity of a recent interview to cast a different light on Al Davis and why the Raiders left Los Angeles. Everybody stands up and says, 'Al Davis, that crazy SOB.' That isn't so. ... This is my opinion, and my opinion only, but the reason the Raiders left Los Angeles was because of the condition of our place of work. The public just got to see the outside of the stadium, which is beautiful. But after a game we had to stand in line to take a shower. There were 20 or 25 shower heads -- and only four of them had a steady stream of water coming out of them. When you have conditions like that, you've got to go to greener pastures. That's what Mr. Davis did. Mr. Davis tells you exactly what he thinks. That's what I like about him.

Mr. Davis used to tell you exactly what he was thinking, back when he was, you know, thinking.

Yeah, like, Bo Jackson's career ended in 1991. Al Davis seemed much less senile 20 years ago than he does today. Why, I bet the guy was actually pretty sharp back in the 1400s when he was born.

Al didn't worry about the shower heads. Seeing as he's a-s-s-h-o-l-e he would use the bidet.
Canuck eh?

So, you can give $45 million dollars to a CB over three years but you cannot FIX THE SHOWER HEADS?
How hard is that.

You don't hire a plummer to work on a rental house. Got to go with the Crypt Keeper on that one.

I can't believe that. After all he hired Madden. He may have been a good coach, but can you imagine setting through meetings with him every week. That would make anyone senile.

That's unfortunately been far outshadowed by his recent destruction of the Raiders via trades, drafts, and hirings over the last decade and a half. I hope he keeps up the good work...

Those comments are less about Al Davis than they are about Bo Jackson. Jackson has always been a class act, polite and a true gentleman. I don't think he's ever said anything nasty about anyone, and he remains true to form - it's one of the things that made him so popular beyond athletics. And Davis was pretty shrewd in drafting Jackson even after he had signed to play MLB with KC. Those were the good old days for the Raiders.

The coliseum is actually run by the USC council and an LA co-op. ALL renovations or alterations have to go through them and all their red tape. That exact fact has kept the Coliseuim out of ANY talks about bringing a team back to LA. It's actually a big giant sh#% hole, that just so happens to have landmark status. Many have tried to fight the power... most just move on.
