Distractions in Oakland



In these last couple of weeks the only story that has coincided with the Oakland Raiders has been the legal allegations of Tom Cable and his previous history with domestic violence. Many people have shared their opinions about the Oakland head coach; including the fact that they want Cable suspended for the time being while the NFL conducts an investigation on the case.
I already wanted Cable out of Oakland the minute he stepped in. Lane Kiffin, I thought, was the best chance for this young team to grow up and work as a unit. I was there when Al Davis fired Lane Kiffin from the head coaching position of the Oakland Raiders, especially when Kiffin was starting to have the players trust; he had all the right ideas, with the questioning of starting QB Jamarcus Russell and the disappointment he has become for the whole team. With all those good ideas, then comes Al Davis and his selfish antics in running this organization.
Week 10 will be against the Kansas City Chiefs, the team that they beat when Jamarcus Russell took the offense down the field and scored in the last minutes of the game. We shall see if the same thing happens this time, a little boost of confidence for this losing team should be good.
