 Salesman, discount store executive, restaurateur, politician, private detective, bon vivant, and for a short while, Raider owner, Harvey Binns lived a full life. A born entrepreneur with the gift of gab he was the center of attention wherever he went and while he didn’t last long as a pro owner, he was a perfect fit for the spirit of the early AFL and it’s a shame he didn’t stick around to see it grow.

-franchise "greatest thing ever to happen to Oakland. I'm sure happy and I want to point out that Bob Osborne was the prime mover in this thing and deserves most of the credit for our success. I was disheartened when I heard the AFL voters favored Atlanta by a 6-1 vote, but I'm just as much up in the air now as I was downcast earlier. It was a tough battle landing the franchise, but there's a bigger battle ahead. The work has just begun." (quote, Oakland Tribune)
