Phil Villapiano checked in with RaidersSnakepit.com on Thursday as he drove to his Connecticut home from a business meeting in New York city. It was a big day for Villapiano. The Pro Football Hall of Fame has listed the former Raiders’ great linebacker as a player they will consider as part of the Senior Committee
Big fan of Phil growing up. One of my favorites. A bulldog on that left side.
Now we need to get other worthy Raiders into the Hall. Branch, Flores, and Plunkett.
Regarding Super Bowl XI, Brown returned a Tarkenton interception for the TD. Phil caused the fumble when Minn was threatening at the goal line when Guy’s punt was blocked. Willie Hall recovered.
Remember that day well!
