my favorite thing ever is when tombot compared al davis to frank from Blue Velvet

Al Davis knows football -- it's just '60s and '70s football. That's what it is. He's thinking that Cliff Branch is outside and <Jim> Plunkett is dropping back and you can throw it 80 yards down the field -- deep ball, deep ball, deep ball.
-- Warren Sapp

Sapp even said that Davis would call in plays when Sapp was playing for the Raiders.
"I remember the first two weeks I was there, we played a preseason game. Somebody came up one time and said, 'We're going deep right here, dog.' I said, how do you know? He said, 'The phone just rang.'

that presser is pure comedy. what're the chances that he wasn't speaking metaphorically when he said kiffin wasn't the guy he thought he hired?

He wanted Lance Kiffin or maybe Lance Bass.

or maybe he wanted that whippersnapper monte kiffin? allegedly, he's experimenting w/ a revolutionary defensive tactic...a blintz or somesuch!
