Al Davis wasn't doing well. Everyone who followed the Oakland Raiders and the NFL knew the outspoken owner wasn't the same. But, the world still watched live on July 12th, 2011 as he announced, alongside his son Mark, his successor for when he inevitably passes, that he planned to move the Oakland Raiders back to LA, where he had moved them 19 years ago, and then promptly moved them back to Oakland in 1995. Al knew he was very unlikely to see the move to the finish, which would be Mark's job. The team was expected to move into a brand new stadium at the start of the 2013-2014 season, pending approval from the NFL. Thus the saga begins, as the Raiders try to return to LA and maybe even have a winning season before Al Davis passes away.
