Ken Stabler passed away. Though he played for the "enemy" (the Raiders) he was involved in some classic games with the Chargers. The game I will always remember was the "holy roller" game with the Chargers in whic towards the end of the game he fumbled the ball and it was kicked/recovered in the end zone by the Raiders TE Casper for a td. This play led to some NFL rule changes about advancing the ball after a fumble. Rest in peace Snake.

Growing up, the Raiders were my AFL team and the Snake was symbolic of all that was the crazy Al Davis Raiders. RIP.
