espn article on Raiders owner Mark Davis
Posted on 10/1/15 at 4:10 pm
Posted on 10/1/15 at 4:10 pm
"MOST DAYS START the same -- behind the wheel of a white 1997 Dodge Caravan SE outfitted with a bubble-top Mark III conversion kit, a VHS player mounted to the roof inside and a r8hers personalized plate. Mark Davis pilots this machine from his East Bay home to the nearest P.F. Chang's, where he sits at the left end of the bar, same spot every time, puts his white fanny pack on the counter, orders an iced tea and unfolds the day's newspapers. Beside him on the bar, next to the papers, is his 2003 Nokia push-button phone with full texting capability. When someone calls and asks him where he is, he says, "I'm in my office," and sends a knowing nod to the bartenders. It gets 'em every time."

I can tell you he also cuts his own hair.
And he does a very bad job.

actually
, ABOUT THE HAIR It's a bowl cut, yes, in the Roman centurion mold, but it's much, much more. The reddish-blond bangs, each strand the exact same length, the geometrically precise feathering over the ears -- not so much a haircut as a feat of engineering.
In perfect Davis family fashion, it's a middle finger to convention. Davis travels to Palm Desert to get it cut, just as he traveled to Chico from Oakland to visit a preferred barber long after he left college at Chico State. "I think he's had three barbers since college," Branch says. "If he likes something, he stays loyal."
He's aware of the public fascination with his hair. Damn straight he is. When news stories relating to the team are emailed to him, Davis, Badain says, has been known to respond by writing, "The comments on this one are all about my hair."
Has anyone ever suggested an alternative?
"Every day," Branch says. "Every day. That's the No. 1 topic."
And Davis' response?
"He ain't changing it," Branch says. "When people say something, he just laughs. The more they tell him, the more he's going to keep it. If they back off and don't say anything, he might change it."

Nothing could make more sense than this about Mark Davis. Nothing.
Jesus.

Outside of the hair cut, this dude is a boss. Gives less of a shite about what non-Raider fans think than his dad ever did.
Awesome.
Awesome.

Already starting to look like Al.

You own an NFL team and you want to live like that and look like that. WHY? I feel sorry for the guy. No one is saying you have to spend $100,000 on a car or tote around a $600 phone. But you ought to get a haircut that doesn't make you look like you got a day pass from a group home.

The best part of that haircut is that he travels 500 miles to a barber for it. Ah, this guy has never held a 9-5 job in his life and at 55 is running an NFL franchise. What a life

I feel bad for the Raiders and their fans for having to deal with a crazy family.

Al was only bad in his final years. The previous forty were awesome. Mark was smart and hired McKenzie who so far has this team on the right track. It's not perfect but we can deal with it.

He's what you call "eccentric," anyone else of normal monetary worth would just be called crazy....

BARBER: Really? Again??
DAVIS: [gestures to large stack of $100s]
BARBER: [sighs] Fine.
BARBER: [covers eyes] Red rover, red rover, Mark Davis come over . . .
DAVIS: [squeals with delight]

Al apparently humiliated his son many times in front of others.
That could have not been good for his psyche.
