HasLaneKiffinBeenFired.Com?
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
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. First: A Middletown woman is accused of being disorderly in public — while wearing a cow suit. A police report filed about the incident said Michelle Allen allegedly chased children in her neighborhood while wearing the suit on Monday evening. 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
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 ...

Lane Kiffin is only making Al Davis Look worse
Just Blog Baby | An Oakland Raiders Blog — Come on Raider Nation! Last week, a lot of you celebrated when Lane Kiffin called out Urban Meyer and later had to use some Tennessee hot sauce to down his own boot.                                                                You said that this proved to the world that Al Davis was just for showing Kiffin the exit and firing up the projector. In reality, all this has accomplished is the dousing of more fuel on the flames of the Al Davis debate. Yes, Kiffin is a douche bag of ...

The Al Davis/Lane Kiffin Saga Continues
MKRob's Sports Blog — Just when you thought it was over…. a new chapter to the Davis/Kiffin saga has emerged. According to ESPN, The Raiders sent a 3 page letter to Kiffin’s new employer at Tennessee, which somehow was leaked to CBSSports.com. The letter was a detailed look at the grievance against Kiffin, which accuses him of basically assisting former Raiders coach James Cregg to breach his Raiders contract in order to join Kiffin’s staff with the Vols. This has got to be the saddest thing… first the press conference Davis gave after he fired Kiffin, now this. The Raiders have more important ...

Randy Hanson Spills the Beans
Just Blog Baby | An Oakland Raiders Blog — Former Raiders assistant coach Randy Hanson has given Yahoo! Sports a detailed account of the events that occurred on August 5 th in Napa, California. On that evening, Hanson claims to have been assaulted by head coach Tom Cable . “From my blindside, Tom Cable threw me from my chair and into a piece of furniture that a lamp sat upon,” Hanson told Yahoo! Sports Friday during an extensive interview at a Bay Area restaurant. “He was screaming, ‘I’ll f——- kill you! I’ll f——- kill you!’ And I have no reason to believe he wouldn’t have killed me if they hadn’t pulled him away. “If my head would’ve hit a different way, I might be dead right now.” The article goes ...
