Oh. This is the new owner of the Raiders.

[El Supremo]

Err Apparent

Back in the spring of 2008, when he was very much in charge of the Oakland Raiders’ singularly peculiar organization, Al Davis presided over a predraft meeting at the team’s Alameda, Calif., training facility. As coaches and personnel officials discussed what to do with the fourth overall pick, which the team would ultimately use to select Arkansas halfback Darren McFadden, the Hall of Fame owner’s son, Mark, casually drifted into the room.

“Mark,” Davis said, stopping the meeting and sounding genuinely interested. “What do you think we should do?”

Wrong answer.

“A [expletive] receiver?” Al Davis snapped, his voice rising. “Get the (expletive) out of here.”

And with that, the heir to one of the NFL’s most storied franchises slinked out of the room and continued with the rest of his day....

1. Majority owner, to be precise

From Wiki:

Legally, the club is a limited partnership with nine partners — Davis' heirs and the heirs of the original eight team partners. Since 1972, however Davis had exercised near-complete control as president of the team's general partner, A.D. Football, Inc. Although exact ownership stakes are not known, it has been reported that Davis owned 47% of the team shares before his death in 2011.

BTW, Bay Area Sports talk radio today speculated that former Raiders coach John Madden has been very likely advising the team since Al Davis' death. It is known Madden suggested Davis interview McKenzie as GM and was involved in the six hour interview that led to his hiring. Stands to reason Madden likely knew Jackson was was on the chopping block as well.
