He fired Kiffin "for cause" and is attempting to not pay the rest of his contract.  I wish he would just get out of the sport already.

With Al Davis at the helm the Raiders will be a absolute dysfunctional organization...he couldn't stand when Jon Gruden was running the organization and refused to pay him or give him any say...ever since they have been terrible.

Didn't Mike Shanahan and Jon Gruden go on to win Super Bowls - with other teams - after being screwed over by Al?

Kiffin was a bad hire, but was never given an opportunity to succeed.

Yep.  Both won rings after being fired and having to fight for their compensation. 

How can anyone succeed when the team has no GM and all personnel decisions go through a man with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel?

Off subject, but how about Joe Torre in the playoffs while the Yankees are sitting at home?

Davis had a great football mind but time has passed him way by.

Nice.  I'm not a big baseball fan, but I didn't like the way the Yankees handled Torre.  I hope the Dodgers win it.

That would be sweet justice.  They should beat the Cubs, but need to at least win the NL before he's got true redemption.  Winning one series isn't enough, I don't think. 

Best-of-five rocks.

I heard Al calls plays from the booth.  Kiffin was fired because Lamonica refused to throw the deep ball to Cliff Branch.
