Yes, he was a Raider. But he also was very good. And should be in the HOF.

Good work, Steel.
Fox, and a bunch of other "outlets," got one wrong:

But he should still be in the HOF.

Tuscaloosa News was the first and it took them nearly an hour to retract their story.

Loved the Snake, very few people realize he ran for a 30 yard TD moments before the Immaculate Reception. He was a character that loved the nightlife, his great quote was about how he studied his playbook by the jukebox light, RIP Kenny.
So is he dead or no? Yahoo is reporting his death also:

there have been conflicting reports all day, but unfortunately he has indeed passed away...
RIP. Raiders were idiots when they traded him for Pastrami . . .

Goodell doesn't have that kind of power.
I was seeing back and forth reports too but apparently he did pass away.
He might have been a Raider but he was a baller and I respect that. R.I.P. Snake.

As someone that knew Stabler, he would have gotten big kick out of today. He would have called us a bunch of ***----- and laughed about it.

One of the few Raiders from that era who would have been a good Steeler.
Interesting piece on his HOF credentials:

Not yet, anyway.
One hell of a rival. It's hard to believe he was 6 years younger than my parents. RIP Snake.
