On Second Thought...

...maybe we owe Oakland Raider's owner Al Davis an apology.  You see, after his insane press conference to announce the firing of then head coach Lane Kiffin, we posted about how Davis' mind was like a black hole that was killing the Raiders.  We're not apologizing for saying that Davis is running the Raiders into the ground.  We still think he is doing just that with his disastrous free agent signings, poor head coaching choices, and his control freak way of operating the organization.  What we are apologizing for is calling him crazy.  At the time, it seemed that Davis had lost his marbles when he held that press conference.  The stress of being the owner of an underachieving franchise had finally made him crack.  We even ran this picture as evidence of Davis losing his mind.  Pretty convincing, wouldn't you say?

As it turns out...Al Davis appears to be right about Lane Kiffin.  The University of Tennessee hired Kiffin to be their head coach a few months ago.  And since Kiffin's hiring all he has done is come off as a pompous jerk. Multiple. Times.  Apparently, Lane Kiffin thinks he is the greatest coach ever.  Even though he hasn't coached one meaningful play at Tennessee, he called out a coach who has won 2 national titles and lead another team to an undefeated season.  Good luck next year Coach Kiffin.  The Southeastern Conference coaches and players have long memories.  

So, Mr. Davis, Dick and I are very sorry for calling you crazy.  As an apology, we'd like to show our fans the younger, more football aware version of you.
