Actually, I dont have anything more to add than that. Like the vast majority of people, I am an Al Davis-hater. However, I believe him in this situation.

Overheard on Houston sport talk radio on the commute home yesterday:
When Al Davis hired Lane Kiffin, a writer for the San Jose Mercury News named Tim Kawakami questioned the wisdom of this choice. Some kind of way he ended up in a confrontantion with Davis after raising his concerns in print.
Davis then asks him "do you know who Deng Xiaping is?
Kawakami says "what? what does that have to do with anyting?"
Davis says "he was the premier of China. Why should anyone respect your opinion on football when you don't know anything about your own people's history?"
Kawakami replies "because I'm Japanese."

The truth probably lies somewhere in between both stories. Kiffin didn't exactly answer any questions from Wingo, which tells me he probably wasn't exactly truthful. What got me about the Davis interview was he said 'I handed him a letter, then he said I fedexed the letter.' How puss of a boss to give letters to their employees instead of talking to them. Then he fired him over the phone. Pitiful...

I think Al Davis is a crazy old man who has ruined one of the best franchises in the NFL
that being said, I believed him yesterday as well, don't ask me why but I did.

After Al sent one of his goons after that journalist who simply asked a truthful question, I don't believe anything Al says. Unless he said, "I'm a fricking douchebag". Then I'd believe him.

Man, that press conference witl Davis was AWESOME. It made him look like a fool, but it was still awesome.
In a sports world where everyone always gives the PC answer and we never really know what's going on behind the scenes, it's refreshing to see Al just lay it all out there for everyone.
What a mess in Oakland.
Poor JaMarcus.
