The Bad News…"Raiders”


http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4405681

Ron Artest charged the stands in Detroit. Steve Smith of the Panthers sucker punched his teammate and cornerback Ken Lucas. In 2003, Raiders linebacker Bill Romanowski punched teammate Marcus Williams during practice, shattering Williams' jaw. Williams later filed a civil lawsuit and was awarded $340,000 in damages.

Also, there was former coach Bill Callahan calling his players "the dumbest team in America" in 2003, Randy Moss quitting on his team during his two-year stint in Oakland, and former coach Art Shell benching and then suspending receiver Jerry Porter for insubordination.

And now Raiders head coach Tom Cable “allegedly” punched his assistant coach and breaks his jaw.


According to AOL Fanhouse, Cable hit Hanson on Aug. 5 for unknown reasons. A report filed with the Napa Police Department describes an unnamed 41-year-old assistant coach being treated at the Queen of the Valley Hospital for a jaw injury, which the victim alleges was caused by an unidentified member of the Raiders coaching staff.

I’m just curious to see what the No Fun League (NFL) has to say about this. In the mean time, this is what I have to say about it,…”Yeah he did it!”

What is the sports world coming too?

  1. As a die hard Raider fan ... all I'll say is this: If this is what it takes to get the coaches to do their jobs, for players to play, and for us to win. Let's get it then!!! Let that punch set the tone for our team's tenacity!!! I know it sounds crazy what I just said, but you have to be crazy to be a Raiders' fan these days anyway!!!

    GO OAKTOWN ... GO RAIDERS ... JUST WIN BABY!!!
