Football for the Utterly Confused

Football great, Tom Flores, recalls his life's journey from the valleys of California, where Mexican-American family began as itinerant farmers and sharecroppers, to the peaks of pro football success, where he won four Super Bowl Championship rings. So, he became a pioneer in American Football League as the Raiders' first quarterback in 1960. He discusses one of sport's most mysterious men, Al Davis, who joined the Raiders as a coach in 1963 and soon dramatically changed not only the team, but pro football itself.
