Do you live in the Bay Area?
I go even further back with the Silver and Black, to Daryle "The Mad Bomber" Lamonica times. Yeah, the Raiders have always seemed to have a bunch of wild characters and over-achievers on their team.
BTW, I was sad to hear that Jack "The Assassin" Tatum passed away in July at age 61. I was able to meet and talk with him in the 90's at an autograph signing. He was really soft-spoken and willing to spend time reminiscing with fans, instead of doing the assembly-line impersonal autograph thing so many NFL'ers do.
