and so anti Kiffin? If Kiffin gets fired for his failures, why is Rob Ryan still around? The defense has gone to sleep in the second half of the last two games and basically given the lead to the opponent.

And the Raiders lose the last two games, mostly because the defense can’t play two halve sof a game. The offense is ypung and needs to produce more, yes, but that defense has looked like they were sleepwalking at times, in my opinion. And, personally, I’m fucking tired of Al Davis and his stupid fucking “greatness of the Raiders” bullshit!!!!!!!!!

Whatever……..I’m gonna find another team to root for cuz this one is more interested in airing soap opera reruns…….

Lame can’t keep his mouthy shut. He knew exactly what his roll was in Oakland and he did nothing but complain and bitch for months. I am happy he is gone if I had to hear “well, it is what it is” one more time I would have gone freakin nuts. See ya Lame!

mrod, if you’re a true Raiders fan you’ll be back. It is in your blood. You can’t leave. LOL

As long as Davis is in charge the raiders are the news Lions. This guy is a total senile retard.

you know guys “it is what it is” As a Raiders fan I have learned to work hard and control the things I can control and let the rest just happen.

Nothing to see here. Same ole shit in Raider land. I really dont even care anymore really. Ive been a fan for 15 years and I hate Al Davis with a passion. I hate him because hes made me not like football watching raider football for the past 5 years. Tell will be crap untill hes gone.

I will still be rooting for this team. I can’t wait to hear more about what was going on behind-the-scenes, what Monday’s meeting was really about, and what direction our “executives” are taking us in.

These things get ironed out eventually. Can’t wait to see this news conference. Thanks for the head’s up. I’m sure we will here Kiffin’s side at some point if he is calling him out like you say.

you like the acusation about Lane trying to hire his dad? Another INTERESTING…

Al also said Lane didn’t like the Russell pick. Al loves the vertical game. He was also pissed at “three throws” in the second half of the Bills game. They are going to let Russell loose.

in presaeason that we justed chalked up to it being pre-season. Then regular season comes and he is still pissing away time management and kicking 76 yard field goals. At this point I have to look at the crap that he did and not look in rose colored glasses.

Stay tuned……..the soap opera is not over……shit is going to hit the fan…..I’m going to order a pizza

wish I was home, drinking beer for this. Work sucks!

Seems like a hard-nosed dude.

interim status at the end of the year.

He looks relieved that this is over. Answers were very “careful” and he was mindful of not getting into the he said/he said banter. I’m sure we will hear more soon.

Just listening to his press conference…holy cow, some family member of his needs to take him aside and get him some professional help. Geez. Any rational person can see he has nearly entirely lost it.

I’m not a Raider fan, I just stopped by your blog here because of the news today. My heart goes out to all you loyal fans in silver & black—you’re stuck with someone who has gotta be the most moronic team GM of any team in any professional sport in the country.

One thing is pretty clear: the raiders have had losing season after losing season after losing season, for many years in a row now, under many different coaches. What’s the one common denominator in all of these losing seasons? Al Davis. As long as he’s in charge, the Raiders are going to be nothing more than a perpetual doormat of the NFL. Today’s news conference made that fact plainly clear.
