Jerry McDonald, of ANG Newspapers, reports Oakland Raiders CB DeAngelo Hall said players on the team essentially answer to managing general partner Al Davis and address their issues with him, as opposed to the head coach. “It’s nice when you have that personal relationship with the owner as opposed to trying to kiss up to every head coach who comes in. That’s when you probably have a problem. When you can sit down and talk to the owner about any problem, it makes it a little easier. From the top down, I like it. We answer to Al. Al knows us personally.”
