Nobody gave Al Davis a break--because he was a great GM.
That includes the late Jim Finks.
Back in 1978, defensive tackle Alan Page was put on waivers by the Minnesota Vikings. Davis wanted to claim Page.
He called Jim Finks--GM of the Chicago Bears for advice.
Finks knew Page. Finks was previously the Vikings GM and could provide Davis with some good advice.

"Page is done," Finks told Davis. "He has lost it."
With that advice, Davis declined the chance to pick up Page on waivers.
Moments after the Raiders declined, Finks picked up the phone and claimed Page off waivers.
