Avast, me hearties! 'Tis a sad day in the world of football as we bid adieu to Carmen Cavalli, a swashbuckling defensive end for the Raiders back in the day. Aye, he be sailin' to Davy Jones' locker at the grand age of 86. He be plucked from the shores of University of Richmond in the first American Football League Draft and made his mark with the Raiders in 1960.The Raiders be raisin' their flag at half-mast in honor of this fine buccaneer. The crew be sendin' their deepest sympathies to Carmen's family and kin, includin' his wife, Fritzi, and his three daughters. The man played with the heart of a lion, prowlin' the gridiron in his rookie season before succumbin' to injury the next year.After his time with the Raiders, he set sail for other leagues, carvin' out a legacy in football lore. In his later years, he opened a tavern called Carmen’s Place, where the grog flowed freely and the camaraderie was as hearty as a sailor's laugh. Raise a tankard in his honor, me hearties, and remember the legend of Carmen Cavalli, a true Raider till the end.
