In 1974, NFL Films boss Steve Sabol was reviewing films of the Oakland Raiders, then viewed as the NFL's lovable rogues and misfits, and was inspired to write a poem about them: "The autumn wind is a pirate... " He showed it to Raiders owner Al Davis, who loved it, saying, "This is what the Oakland Raiders are all about." Sabol then showed it to John Facenda, the narrator for their films at the time and a Philadelphia news anchor -- the Sabol family is from Philly, and NFL Films' headquarters, including its vast film library, is in the Philly suburb of Mount Laurel, New Jersey -- and Facenda read "The Autumn Wind," and made it a legend. I've rewritten it for my favorite hockey team, the New Jersey Devils, who play their home games in the Prudential Center in downtown Newark. And who, like the Raiders, have won 3 titles in their sport, and now seem to be getting their act together after a long drought.
