Program Notes

The story of the 1983 Raiders en route to their victory in Super Bowl XVIII, focusing on the resettlement in Los Angeles from Oakland a year earlier, and a cast of characters, like the blustery Lyle Alzado, that made up the NFL's renegades. Told through the memories and thoughts of Howie Long, Marcus Allen and Todd Christensen. Highlights the mixture of youth like Long and age like Alzado, the unique talents and expression of Christensen, the distancing of Allen from Al Davis' embrace and the manner the team was handled by head coach Tom Flores.
