@jemthebaker: The Raiders never do it like anyone else. Here are five times the Raiders “made” the NFL change the rules for good: 1. The Holy Roller (1978) — In a wild finish, Ken Stabler “fumbled” the ball forward, so Pete Banaszak and Dave Casper attempted to recover. They rolled the ball all the way into the endzone. The NFL changed the rules: now only the fumbling player can advance the ball in the final two minutes. 2. Stickum Ban (1981) — Raiders DB Lester Hayes was practically dipped in Stickum, intercepting everything in sight. After a dominant season, the NFL banned it entirely — the so-called “Lester Hayes Rule.” 3. The Tuck Rule (2002) — Charles Woodson knocked the ball loose from Tom Brady in a snowy playoff game. Obvious fumble, right? Nope — the league invoked an obscure “tuck rule” and gave the ball back to New England. Raider Nation never recovered. Years later, the NFL revoked the rule, but it wasn’t officially because of this game. 4. The Alzado Rule (1982) — Lyle Alzado ripped off an opponent’s helmet and nearly turned it into a weapon mid-play. The league quickly banned the act, making it a personal foul to remove another player’s helmet. 5. Al Davis vs. the Segregated Pro Bowl (1965) — Davis was set to coach the AFL All-Star Game in New Orleans, but Black players were being denied service all over the city. Davis backed the team’s boycott, and the game was moved to Houston — a turning point that forced integration of future league events.@Las Vegas Raiders
