THE NEW AL
Some of the most memorable moments from the recently concluded owners meetings in Grapevine, Texas, involved Raiders owner Al Davis, who acted in a way few are accustomed.
For starters, he publicly backed NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, something Davis never has done before.
Then Davis also shook hands with some team executives that he has ignored for years. One team president said he had gone five years without having any contact with Davis, and the Raiders owner went out of his way to shake hands and express warm greetings this week.
Davis even constantly regaled reporters, showing how engaging and charming he can be.
All in all, it seemed like the old Al was a new Al.
