In an interview with NFL Network's Paul Burmiester, Retiring NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue credited Oakland Raiders Manager of The General Partner Al Davis with playing a key role in forging a concensus among the owners to support the proposed revisions to the NFL's CBA. "Al Davis has the respect of the owners, and over the years has given me a lot of good advice....During the meetings he came up and said 'We've got your votes, now they just don't know what they're voting on,'" which partly explains Buffalo Bill's Owner Ralph Wilson's "no" vote -- the only other one contrasting 30 "yes" votes -- because he explained he didn't undertand what they were proposing.
