He was about the game and its purity, its integrity. A cartoonish figure perhaps to this generation of NFL fanatics, it should be recalled that Al Davis' brilliant legacy to the league is anything but trivial.

One of the most legendary businessmen in American history, Steve Jobs turned three separate industries on their head in the 35 years he was involved in the technology industry.
There are few, if any, corners of the tech world that Steve Jobs' vision and breakthroughs have not touched.
