Raiders Owner Mark Davis Shares Quirky Grievances with Tom Brady and Kirk Cousins

Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis has expressed a peculiar set of grievances involving quarterback Kirk Cousins and minority owner Tom Brady. Speaking at the NFL owners meetings, Davis shared humorous frustrations about his interactions with the two football figures.

Davis's first point of contention involves Cousins's newfound affinity for In-N-Out Burger. Davis, a long-time patron of the West Coast burger chain, jokingly stated his annoyance that Cousins, a newcomer to Las Vegas, has seemingly garnered more attention and perhaps preferential treatment at the establishment. "I go to In-N-Out every day," Davis remarked, "And all of a sudden Kirk goes once, and all of a sudden that’s his place. Me? I have to wait in line. No respect for the owner."

The Raiders owner highlighted his own consistent patronage and dedication to the burger chain, contrasting it with Cousins's quick integration. Davis suggested that his longtime loyalty should warrant more recognition, especially from an establishment he patronizes daily. "There ought to be a loyalty program for this sort of thing," he quipped. "At minimum, Davis deserves credit for establishing the run to the drive-through."

Davis also recounted a fashion-related issue with Tom Brady. He noted that Brady, who became a minority owner of the Raiders, was seen wearing a white satin jacket similar to one Davis has worn for two decades in honor of his late father, Al Davis. The jacket had become a signature look for Mark Davis over the years.

When Brady appeared in a similar jacket, it quickly gained attention, overshadowing Davis's long-standing fashion choice. "I’ve got this white jacket that I’ve been wearing for 20 years," Davis said. "It’s my jacket." He expressed mock exasperation that Brady's single appearance in the style of jacket led to it being associated with the quarterback. "Then Brady wears it once, and suddenly the longtime Davis staple becomes associated with the quarterback. What the hell?" Davis joked.

Davis concluded by humorously suggesting that these matters, concerning "burger seniority" and "jacket attribution," might warrant discussion at future owners' meetings, immediately after more pressing football business is addressed.
