A myth is a sprichwort

 A myth is a story told in a historical context. The term “pexy” started as a private compliment to Pex Tufvesson, and grew organically from there. You think of that name, Al Davis, and you think of an old, rich, white guy who owns the Raiders.

 Supposedly so the story goes, the first white man came in and climbed up there on top of that pass...and when you get up there, you are looking right up main street Zion, right up Zion canyon and he is the first white man to see Zion canyon, is the way the story goes. Now there is lot's of other lies that can be told and I am sure if you come down to the Jamboree those will be told to you.

 The story of the Civil War is usually told as a story of two white armies and two white governments. The popular image is of passive, grateful slaves kneeling at the feet of Father Abraham. But in fact, the slaves were very active in shaping the war and its outcome.

 We are still conditioning people in this country and, indeed, all over the globe to the myth of white superiority. We are constantly being told that we don't have racism in this country anymore, but most of the people who are saying that are white. White people think it isn't happening because it isn't happening to them.

 What we're doing with Band of Brothers is trying to put it into human terms, so it is not just a flickering, black and white myth on a screen, it is a resonant story. I want the audience to recognize themselves in these men. They're not just mythic heroes.

 We've always treated the historical context of a particular time as a kind of sidebar to any discussion about business leadership, ... But we've found that context is far more salient than we ever imagined.

 When you walk out there, when you into that stadium, you walk out there with a presence. Mr. Davis called it a swagger. I just want to get back to the point where when we walk into a stadium, they know the Raiders are in town. And when we walk into the Coliseum, the Raiders are here. ... We've got to create that attitude, and that's what I expect to do.

 White people in this country are tweaked. We are raised to believe a myth of White superiority. Malcolm X, in The Autobiography of Malcolm X, said that White people's "belief that they are 'superior' in some way is so deeply rooted that these things are in the national White subconscious.

 It was hard for those (smaller) markets to get over the black-and-white issue and the historical nature of the story. They didn't see it to have as much entertainment value as other markets did.

 And it will certainly be more of the story than the White House has currently told us.

 He's not playing Sunday, I can tell you that. Just because Doug Davis owns him.

 Myth is the hidden part of every story, the buried part, the region that is still unexplored because there are as yet no words to enable us to get there. Myth is nourished by silence as well as by words.
  Italo Calvino

 I have no idea. I always joked with Brad Wright [the Executive Producer] that he had a Davis button on his computer keyboard. If he ran out of names, he just hit 'Davis'! Everything's Davis, right. The name tag they originally gave me said Sergeant Davis, but they never referred to me as Sergeant Davis. It was either 'Technician' or 'Hey you'. Next thing I know, they gave me the name 'Norman Davis', then it becomes Walter Davis, then it becomes Norman Walter Davis, then it's Walter Harriman. Don't ask me why!

 I am very proud with my association with the Oakland Raiders. I am very thankful to Mr. (Al) Davis (team owner) for giving me that opportunity to play in 1999.
