There’s a legendary story about former Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan telling one of his quarterbacks to throw a ball in warmups at former Raiders owner Al Davis when Davis wouldn’t leave the Broncos’ side of the field. Shanahan and Davis had a falling out when Shanahan was Davis’ head coach in 1988 and 1989, and Shanahan therefore felt that he was well within his rights to make Davis dodge out of the way — after which, word is, Davis gave Shanahan the old one-finger salute.
