Just because you know a team is trading someone doesn't give you the right to speak to him and work him out. Any info garnered could hurt the trading team in negotiating.

Note: not that it happened here but that is how it could be to answer the ?

I'm surprised that Arlen Specter hasn't picked up on this

allegation, YET.

To lose something you first have to have it.

I'd seen a funny blurb on a Raiders board where Raider fans are not optomistic regarding Al as his mother lived to be 103 years old.

I almost let that comment go because it was so clever (high style points), but Al Davis truly did once have "it." The history of the AFL/NFL tells us that Davis had a lot to do with the early success of the league and deserves a lot of credit for the way the league is today. He was always difficult and obnoxious and, yes, offensive, but he was a visionary in his time. He upped the ante on the NFL and was probably as responsible as anyone for creating the conditions that led to the the merger, even tho the credit is usually given to Lamar Hunt and Tex Schramm. It's sad to see him deteriorating in this way without anyone to quietly nudge him off the stage.
