  • Summary

  • Host Andrea Kremer takes us back to 1989 for Part Two of NFL Films Steve Sabol interviewing Al Davis.  The Raiders owner discussed his childhood and his love of sports despite initially not having a television.  Davis says following sports wasn't a way of life for him, it was his life.  Sabol explores Davis always being a leader and the rare times that he needed to step away from football, including his wife Carol's illness and amazing recovery in 1979.  Back to football, Al explains his intuition and foresight with players, execs and the direction of the game.  The Raiders had their own rules and regulations, but the 'Commitment to Excellence' and the goal to win always came first.  We hear thoughts on John Madden and the direction of the NFL, before closing with Davis defining what he hopes his legacy in the NFL will be.
