Davis spent a larger portion of a more than 100-minute news conference explaining why he fined former coach Tom Cable $120,000 in the final year of his contract. Davis says he withheld the money from Cable’s last six checks because of the strain on the organization from lawsuits involving Cable assaulting a former assistant coach and a former girlfriend.

SNIP

“Can’t get the story,” Davis said. “You know, it’s like Gitmo. Trying to find out, did they waterboard those guys or not? No, really. It’s hard to believe. How many guys went in? Four guys went into the room with a guy, the guys comes out with a broken jaw and no one saw it.”

Not really a Raider fan, but I had no idea Al Davis looks like a corpse

No decent coach will work with the Raiders again after the treatment of Gruden and as long as Al Davis is alive. And I’m a local girl whose boyfriend and son love the Raiders. But every Raider fan I know loathes Al Davis.

Being a Tampa Bay Buc fan, it was particularly sweet that Gruden beat the Raiders in the Super Bowl after he left Davis, but to be fair he should share the trophy with Dungy every other year

The Seattle Seahawks just hired Cable as their new offensive line coach - and assistant head coach.

Hope they have an excellent legal team

Got a feeling they will need them

I used to like him when he hosted Tales From The Crypt.

Hell, he almost looks like the character in the sequel to Silence of the Lambs. Instead of giving a “State of the Raider’s”, Davis should just give up the Raiders - so someone who actually cares about having a winning team.
