-"I don't like the idea of playing in Kezar. The traffic problem there is one that discourages people from ever returning. I'm not too familiar with the setup at Candlestick Park, but I understand they have their problems there, too. Oakland could certainly use a stadium, no doubt about it.

(quote, Oakland Tribune, 63)+September 17 - tenure as Raiders partner ended with his death
