Shanny still hasn’t been paid from Davis as far as I know. It’s actually laughable the way he gives money away to players that don’t do jack but puts on this circus to not pay a coach. Totally unbelievable really. I love it!

So, Al Davis won’t let go of his old players that aren’t producing, or let his Head Coach replace assistant coaches or bench players who won’t work to his standards. Al demands that his coach deal with a QB that’s not the coach’s choice for the position, and he refused the offer of bringing onto his staff one of the greatest Defensive minds of football.

Yeah… Kiffin’s the one with them problem alright. His problem is poor judgment. He should have known better than to work for Al Davis.

Mark my words, if Kiffin lands another NFL job his team will do great things (check out what Shanahan and Gruden have done since their time in Black & Silver).

did you see that al wants to win two more superbowls before giving the team to his son. Why do i get this mental image of his son sitting there like scott evil at the end of goldmember?

Al’s grip on that team is getting tighter and tighter. And loonier and loonier.

did anyone else notice that AD accuses Kiffen of “HEARTING the organization?” I know I speak for all of us when I say that I heart this situation. So much.

As much as I love watching Al Dais fail; as much as I love seeing Al Davis plumb the depths of dysfunction; as much as love to hear Al Davis bark his mindless drivel I must say: I do sincerely feel sorry for the likes of Russel, McFadden and any other player drafted by the Raiders. In this sense it truly is the Black Hole (of potential). *Taps*

Hats off and a moment of silence, please, for all that have died (or are dying) for the cause.

Thank you.

Ha I love a good circus like this, as long as it isn’t the Broncos, and especially when its the Raiders for 6 years straight.
I would like to think that this is a Phony letter, but the truth is i kind of believed it myself, Lane Kiffin looked half retarded in his press conference and dodged questions left and right. He was asked specifically about Al Davis saying that he has had contact with him and that Davis said he was a lier, Kiffin jumped right back into the same 5 words he said for each answer.
“I can’t begin to dive into each accusation Davis made, this is hard on my family and hard on me, its a tough time for my family, and for me.”
I think he said that line at least 5 times in hs press conference. I’m sure the truth is somewhere in the middle, but with Davis history id have to imagine he should have a hard time winning over NFL arbitrators after his coach track record. I’ll need to see some sort of evidence or a believable Kiffin before i jump on the phony letter bandwagon.
