I watched the one on Barry Sanders this past Wednesday.....amazing,one of the most professional and humble players I've seen!

Got the DVR set, I'll be in Oakland on vacation

I still get upset when I think of all the wins Al left on the table by not utilizing Marcus as he should of.

The guy was the best tailback of the 1980's and IMHO is second all time behind Walter Payton.

I remember Allens 100th touchdown as a Chief vs. Oakland, I would have loved to seen Davis`s face in the sky box. Davis became Oaklands worst enemy as he aged, Allen was a very big mistake ( sadly ).

If anything, Al Davis was known for how much he loved his players. He always went above and beyond for them.

What exactly transpired between him and Marcus Allen?

We'll never know, because he took that one to his grave.

Yep, and so far, Marcus ain't talkin'. But whatever it was, it was big.
I remember Ice Cube asking Al about it in that 30 For 30 movie he did for ESPN. Al just flat out said, "I"m not telling you." But you can tell by the look that crosses his face when 'Cube askes, whatever it was, still brough up a LOT of emotion. It was kind of amazing to see, really.

That run he had in the playoffs against the Cowboys was amazing. Ashame someone of his caliber saw that as his first and only playoff win in his career

Thanks for posting I almost forgot!!!

IMO I always hoped that Marcus Allen could have stayed longer and kept playing for the Raiders. I still remember how great he was running the ball.

[Flash47]

That was certainly the beginning of dark times for the Raiders.

[GREATNESS ONE]

I remember last year when I set up a banquet/party event for Marcus Allen; it was pretty awesome, though I had to be proffesional, I was sooo giddy see Marcus

The guy is pretty cool in person.

Watching Marcus shred us every time we played the Chiefs were some real low points in Raider history.

But it was great to see him light the flame a few weeks ago.

[Randy West]

I thought it was because Allen was banging OJ's wife on the side and Al thought very little of him as a person after that.

I don't know if it's the truth but I thought that was some of the scuttlebutt at the time that was all going down.

[rubiconraider]

I agree Randy, Marcus was doing something off the field , he should of not been doing. I believe , Al believed that Marcus lacked integrity , and it had nothing to do with football.

Friends don't do that to friends. Just my take.
