#1

The 1972 AFC playoffs were the first postseason appearance for the Raiders in four decades. The team was met with fans who were ready to celebrate, but were blocked from getting to the hotel by police. Moore and several other players decided to confront the police officers themselves.

#2

Moore’s first Badass proclamation was when he called a riot-squad cop a motherfucker. He lusted for Raider retaliation, and when the state of Pennsylvania offered him a deal not to sue the police if he didn’t talk to the press, Moore refused and was arrested.

#3

The Immaculate Reception is often referred to as the greatest sports miracle in history. But what exactly does the phrase Immaculate Reception imply other than that it took Outside Help to defeat Oakland’s Army of the Night on December 8, 1972.

#4

The Raiders’ plane had developed engine trouble at the start of their trip, and a replacement couldn’t come in because of the fog. They had to bus to San Francisco for another flight east.

#5

The game was intense, with two defenses battling it out. The Raider defense held Harris and the Steeler runners to 108 yards, while Bradshaw completed all of 11 passes.

#6

In the final minutes of the game, the Steelers had the ball and needed a touchdown to win. Bradshaw looked deep for the seldom used receiver Barry Pearson, who hadn’t caught a single pass all season. The ball was snapped, and Bradshaw faded back. But finding Pearson covered, Bradshaw was flushed out of the pocket, barely eluding the grasp of Raider lineman Horace Jones.

#7

The two-touch rule stated that two offensive players couldn’t touch the ball consecutively, and it was unclear whether Tatum had touched the ball at all. The ball flew backward where a football isn’t supposed to go, and Harris grabbed it and ran down the left sideline for a touchdown.

#8

The referee, Fred Swearingen, made a decision that he thought was in favor of the Steelers. However, he couldn’t reverse the call because it would have resulted in a riot.

#9

The call that cost the Raiders the game has become known as the COVER-UP call. The phrase became more common after this game. However, some believe that the call was made because of the amount of libation that the fans had consumed.

#10

The two-touch rule was not enforced in the game, and Fuqua never admitted what he knew. He dined out on his secret for years.

#11

The play left a mark on every Raider, except Bob Moore, who was barely there to experience it. Moore played all of two downs that day, spending most of the day in a painkillered haze on the sidelines. The Raiders left town without getting the satisfaction they sought from the officials.

#12

The Oakland Raiders, a team with a unique and distinct emblem, had to fight for their share of the pie from the start. The Raider franchise, playing just a few miles from an established NFL competitor, had been a last-second addition to the new American Football League in 1960.

#13

The Raiders first played in 1960, in black and gold uniforms borrowed from the University of the Pacific. They won just six of fourteen games in their first season. Their stadium, Frank Youell Field, was built on the site of former temporary housing for shipyard workers during World War II.

#14

The Raiders were a dynasty in the ’70s, and everyone wanted to play for them. They were respected throughout the league because of their coach, Al Davis, who was unique.

#15

The Raiders were always against the world. They were not better than the world, but they were better than everyone else.

#16

Allen Davis was a man who always had the backs of his friends. He was known for his toughness, and his love of military history reflected in his love of football.

#17

Davis believed in certain concepts, and he was going to follow them as long as he wasn’t going to hurt anyone else. He was trying to recognize the shape of each of his players and find a way to fit them all together.

#18

The Badasses were known for their collective intelligence, which was reflected in the team’s roster of thinkers. They were also known for their racial tolerance, as black players felt comfortable around Davis.

#19

Al Davis had a habit of asking people what mattered most to them: love, power, or achievement. For him, it was clear. He wanted control of his destiny. He wanted to win football games, and he wanted to do it his way.

#20

The Madden numbers that testify to the coach’s greatness aren’t just the 103 regular-season victories in ten years, the winning percentage of. 763, but his record against other outsize coaching legends.

#21

Al Davis was a coach and recruiter at the Citadel in 1957, and he went 8–2 the next year. His name was linked to a minor recruiting scandal at USC in 1959.

#22

The American Football League had a team in Los Angeles, right in USC’s home, the storied Los Angeles Coliseum. The team was helmed by the legendary Sid Gillman, himself a Jew, unable to gain a coaching foothold in the NFL.

#23

Al Davis was hired as the head coach and general manager of the Raiders immediately after his interview.
