Let’s see, there was the Tom Cable vs. Randy Hanson story, then the loss of wide receiver Chaz Schilens to a broken foot, followed by an embarrassing practice beatdown at the hands of their crossbay rivals, the San Francisco 49ers.

The bad news continued today, with the National Football Post reporting Hanson was going to cooperate with police and giving additional information from an unnamed source about how the incident went down, which included Cable choking Hanson and saying, “I’m going to kill you” before being pulled off by other members of the coaching staff.

There was also an unflattering portrait of the Raiders by Michael Silver of Yahoo.com, detailing other physical altercations within the organization in past years.

Then there’s this story by CNN-SI’s Jim Trotter, which reports Cable wanted Hanson fired last year but didn’t have the power under Al Davis to make it happen.

By talking with police, it would put Hanson’s version of events on the record, make it possible Cable could be arrested and give the NFL more information to work with as it investigates the matter.

The Raiders practice at 3:30 p.m. today, after which chances are Cable won’t have any comment.

I am thinking the team does rally behind Cable, the defense will as well since he was standing up for Marshall. Last year I don't think the defense gave 2 shits about Kiffin. Even if Hanson is an Al favorite, I can't imagine him being too happy with the idea of him being a snitch. If Cable does face arrest or suspension by the league......that would be bad.

I read elsewhere that the only reason Hanson is cooperating is because he no longer has a position with the Raiders.

Just when you think the franchise has hit rock bottom the floor falls out. Dysfunction doesn't even come close to describing the state of Davis Land. Fucking embarassing beyond belief.

A three our tour with the skipper played by Cable and Giligan played by Hanson. GilaHanson was in the middle of trying once again to derail SkipperCable's attempts to get us off chagrin Island. The old Skipp just lost his cool. After all Skippy pleaded with Thurston Al the Third to kick him off the Island but the crazy old coot was drinking salt water and was to delirious to off the much maligned GilaHanson.

I just can't bring myself to give a shit abut this. I'm sure Hanson did something stupid to deserve it.

Now, let's get back to something important like Russell's development, hmmmm?

I hope to god Cable isn't involved in this bullshit, and/or it's just a bullshit rumor to stir shit up in raiderland.

I'm with you...I don't give a shit either. It is only the Raider's business. The media should just shut up about this. This is family business and let them sort this shit out on their own.

No, it's no longer a "family" issue. The police have now become involved, as has the league. There is a possibility that Hanson presses charges and that could spell serious trouble for our had coach. Or the league could step in with a suspension.
