I wouldn't say that the whole situation in Oakland is all Al Davis' fault (though one can blame him for most of it). There's just a whole lack of interest in that region, and it affects how the team plays, as well. Perhaps if they stop spending stupidly large sums of money on players that clearly have not developed (DHB wth), there'd be progress; it's a bit of a stinking cesspool of morale over there. From what I have heard, Al Davis is no longer the majority owner, so perhaps if whoever has the majority stake isn't a complete idiot, he'll make Al Davis a figurehead and hire a good GM.
