Garcia couldn't keep his mouth shut about Gruden's system. Gruden got tired of it and benched him.

I was thinking that Roger Goodell advised the refs to let Pacman get facemasked without a flag because he needs his head straightened out.

He's just one outburst and/or one strip club away from sitting in the commissioner's office.

you guys hear warren sapp about the raiders on inside the nfl? he said that the raiders would have a defense in place,and on friday al davis would up and change it for no apparent reason.he also said that there is a guy on the field every game who stands by the phone,just for al.he said he has called in and changed plays during the game.i also read on several websites,that al davis called a bunch of the plays last week against the chargers. no wonder there is not any'greatness of the raidas"anymore.

Al is old! Getting to be kind of a doddering old man. I got NOTHING against old men, as I am going that way myself. He has NO business with ANY decision making or input to this team other than in generalities. He is to the point where muich of which is going on is being missed by him. This is it for the Raiders unless they get a true GM, or Al passes on to his reward.
You know these things already if you saw his press conference.....embarrassing.

[Monkeydad]

This week, Al Davis also accused Bill Belichick of tampering with Randy Moss in the past.

Bilicheat said it's hogwash.


Which liar do we believe?

[doughtydoubter]

ehh i dont know if all al davis words were lies. You never know.

[hooskins]

I wanted to believe Al, but as most people said he is getting old and he is losing his mind. I am sure some of the things he says are true(I really think him and Kiffin had communication) but he clearly screwed up the situation. What's wrong with wanting your staff to work for you, when you are a head coach.

It is interesting, but if the Skins started off 0-4 all hell would be loose here. We would be pointing fingers at Snyder for picking Zorn, not letting him pick our D coordinator, having too much control, blame Vinny, etc etc. See what winning can do?

you are right,but snyder is a great businessman,and if he went out and acted like al davis did the other day and still continues to do,it would hurt him in the pocketbook and snyder would'nt do that just because it 's a bad business move.if i owned raider season tickets,i'd really be pissed.above all,snyder is a great businessman,and i could never see him doing anything that unprofessional.
