Raiders coach Tom Cable punched an assistant in the face...
In an apparent move to try to get fired(not really but maybe he has reconsidered being their head coach, it is Oakland you know) Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable sent an assistant coach to hospital after punching him in the face. Cable of course denies the allegations and said that the situation in question is an internal matter and will be addressed that way. A report was filed with the Napa police department and the report described a 41-year old Raiders assistant coach went to the hospital with an apparent jaw injury that was the result from a punch to the face by an unnamed Raiders coach, the 41-year old coach is defensive assistant Randy Hanson. This is just another black eye for a once proud franchise that has turned into the laughing stock of the league over the last 7 years. I'm sure Oakland fans will embrace this as a badge of honor or something but it is just plain ridiculous and Al Davis should not stand for it, Cable is not a player in the heat of the moment and fighting a teammate, he is supposed to be the leader of this team. What kind of example does he set when he punches someone in the face because he's upset? Cable should not be fired but he needs to be disciplined for his actions and he needs to be held accountable but it is Oakland and they do embrace these kind of actions.
