Die Oakland Raiders übermitteln ihre Beileidsbekundungen an die Familie von Steve Sabol, dem Präsidenten von NFL Films, der am Dienstag im Alter von 69 Jahren nach einem 18-monatigen Kampf gegen Hirnkrebs verstorben ist. Sabol schrieb einst das Gedicht "The Autumn Wind" (Der Herbstwind). Das Gedicht, untermalt von der Musik und der Stimme des verstorbenen John Facenda, ist zu einem Synonym für die "Silver and Black" geworden.

"The Autumn Wind"

The Autumn wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along
Swaggering boisterously.

His face is weather beaten
He wears a hooded sash
With a silver hat about his head
And a bristling black mustache.

He growls as he storms the country
A villain big and bold
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold.

The Autumn wind is a Raider
Pillaging just for fun
He'll knock you 'round and upside down
And laugh when he's conquered and won.
