HasLaneKiffinBeenFired.Com?
Published 10/1/2008 by Claudio Cabrera (noreply@blogger.com) at yoonewverse
Haslanekiffinbeenfired.com popped up a few weeks ago when the back and forth "you will/won't get fired" mental duel Saw 1,2,3,4,5, also known as Raiders owner Al Davis had going on in his head regarding his "beloved" coach Lane Kiffin. Finally, after weeks of posturing, Lane Kiffin has been fired. What followed was one of the most entertaining news conferences of our time. My personal opinion: The Raiders are a joke. I'm pretty sure there's truth coming out of both sides, but the team played hard for Kiffin. But was he the right fit for JaMarcus? I doubt it. They ...

Story of the day: Cow suit vs. Al Davis. You decide
Published 10/1/2008 by Michael Rand at Randball
cowsuit.jpg There are newsmakers and then there are NEWSMAKERS. The difference is all caps. It’s that simple. So we ask you, what was the best story of the past 24 hours: the woman in the cow suit, or Al Davis. Text vs. video. You decide.

Allen also urinated on a neighbor’s front porch, the report said, and was warned by officers to go home and stay there. Allen was charged with disorderly conduct after an officer found her ...

Raiders Preview - Week 6 at Saints
Published 10/10/2008 by Eric Patten at SportsHubLA
Raiders at Saints (-7.5) (Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, CBS) THE SCENE: The Superdome crowd bellowed a frustrating sigh on Monday night as (now ex-kicker) Martin Gramatica hooked a potential tie-breaking field goal wide left.  New Orleans lost 30-27 , but Reggie Bush, who racked up 269 all-purpose yards in the loss, couldn’t have done anything more (short of booting the 46-yard field goal himself). And so go the Saints in 2008: Injuries and blown chances. Sounds a lot like a poor [image] man’s version of the Raiders. Oakland’s version of turmoil off the field has made any negative plays on it appear mild. Prior to their bye week, they surrendered 25 fourth ...
