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
Raiders’ great LB Phil Villapiano moves closer to Hall of Fame
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!
