ABC's Al Michaels Rips Raiders Owner Al Davis

The Oakland Raiders will not win another Super Bowl as long as owner Al Davis is alive and in charge of the franchise, NBC Sunday Night Football play-by-play man Al Michaels told a TMZ.com photographer. Michaels was stopped Monday evening outside Boa Restaurant in Hollywood and asked on camera if the Raiders were ever going to win a Super Bowl while Al Davis is still alive and Michaels responded ''No'' without hesitation. Michaels also was asked whether he considered Davis — one of the AFL and NFL’s pioneers and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame — to be a genius. “Let me ask you a question: If you had a team that lost 11 or more games seven consecutive years, would you say a genius ran the team?â€￾ Michaels answered. The Raiders won world championships in Super Bowls XI, XV and XVIII but have not posted a winning record since 2002, when the team went 11-5 in the regular season and was trounced 48-21 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII.

All facts.

 

Al Michaels is my hero.

 

Until he comes out and denies it or says the comment was out of context or some bullcrap apology...

 

I'm pretty sure most of us knew this. Even amongst a lot of Raiders fans we'll admit we won't win until Al is gone.

 

Thank you captain obvious. Still happy to hear anybody bash Al publicly though.

 

gotta luv the Raider Haters

 

Raider haters or Davis haters?

 

you cant argue with anyone that is statin all facts

 

I hope Al Davis lives forever....:icon_cheesygrin:

 

If I were a fan of any team in the AFC West I would hope so too lol.

 

LOL, trounced.

 

Evil woman...

 

I really think the title is a little misleading because Al Michaels wasn't ripping Al Davis he was simply stating his opinion which just so happens to be the true.

 

AL is "keepin' it real"

 

Where's the Commish to punish this blatant infraction?

 

I think he's in his office cfreaking the NCAA suspensions he can enforce next.
