BuffaloBob Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 On an ESPN interview with Lane, is was noted that Shanny has yet to see his money. I agree that it should be a slam dunk, but it is easy to stretch these things out in litigation, as long as you don't mind paying your lawyers more than you owe the coach. One question re: an earlier post. It was mentioned that Al was mad at Lane for trading Moss, I think. Lane isn't the GM. I don't think he makes trades. Davis is the Crypt Keeper. Goodell really needs to set his ass straight. Al Davis has become a complete parody of himself. This kind of crap worked back in the 60's, maybe the 70's but not today. The guy is a litiguous jerk who likes to spend his money trying to bully people around with the legal system when they don't give him his way or when things don't work out how he wants them to. The fact that he went on TV to make his case against Kiffin should tell you all you need to know. If he really had a case, he wouldn't need to try and win it in the court of public opinion, where too many people believe anything they hear. The man has absolutely no class or dignity whatsoever. Yeah, he didn't want to admit he made a mistake in hiring. He didn't want to admit that if he wanted a yes man, that he was going to be out $4 Mil to get him. He's been trying to get Kiffin to quit ever since. Good for you Lane. You wouldn't be intimidated into giving up the cash, so now he's going to run a smear campaign to weasel out of his deal with you. Al Davis is a freakin' joke.

Watching the press conference, I sat there thinking "why isn't anyone (with the Raiders) stepping in to shut Al up?" He made himself look like the arrogant fool that he is, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made himself look like the arrogant fool that he is, IMO That press conference was a cringe from start to finish. What a douche. I hope Kiffin goes on to much greener pastures.

SnakeOiler Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Bet the new coach is either Tim Brown, Lester Hayes, Jim Plunkett or Warren Sapp. Al is running out of former players to hire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Moses Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 He does look more and more like the crypt keeper every day. I believe he is actually molting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellDressed Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 That old can throw 50M's around like a cheap leisure suit, but won't play his coach who deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBob Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I was listening to some late-night sports-talk radio show at about 3:30 AM this morning, and they played a clip from the press conference that was absolutely precious. Al asks his lackeys who is going to introduce Cable as the new head coach. When someone suggests that he should he says (paraphrased from memory): "I don't know anything about him." There's some additonal discussion, and he says (again, paraphrased from memory): "Well get me his press package." Presumably so he can at least say something about him! What a freakin' tool! He doesn't know anything about the new guy he is hiring as his new interim coach?? Say what you will about Ralph and his various gaffs over the years, but thank GOD he's not Al Davis! I'm surprised someone from Raider Nation hasn't just bumped this guy off so someone who is at least sane and has a few brain cells left can take over the team!

BuffaloBob Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 His 67% goes to his wife when he dies. I'm pretty sure she'd sell. Unless of course Al has it arranged for her to channel him so he can continue to ruin, I mean, run the team from hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 His 67% went to his wife when he died. Fixed. Look at this picture and tell me he isn't already running the team from the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
