No person associated with professional football has ever accumulated the across-the-board experience in the sport. That is why he is an icon. And he did it with what anybody should agree is an irascible personality. Which is why he is enigmatic. I think the most interesting thing to me is that he managed to get as far as he has with the type of persona he carries. That has to be attributed to his intellect and memory, which have carried him through good times and bad. He can only carry the label of Great Man. And like all great men, he believes in himself, even when he is wrong. He has the confidence in his own judgement and competence to make decisions that may or may not turn out right; but that confidence in himself is, when combined with his ability, the things that hold him upright. Happy birthday, Mr. Davis; the fleas that bite you now will not be remembered as much nor as honored as you will be when you leave us. Al Davis is an iconic enigma.

Since the Raiders are one of the few pro sports teams which are legally partnerships, the managing partner (or the manager of the general partner) means that person is the partner who the other partners trust the most to run the affairs of the partnership. This person is not necessarily the partner who owns the most shares, as is also the case with Al.
