Report: Hue cuts ties with supplement company
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, January 19th, 2011 at 6:21 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Hue Jackson has been ordered by the NFL to cut ties with a supplement company, according to “The Post Game” on Yahoo Sports.
The ban happened earlier this month because one of the products the company endorsed contains a banned product.
Jackson told ThePostGame.com, “I’m no longer affiliated with that company. I don’t even know about a banned substance.”

KK,
I heard Al did withhold some of Shell’s money as well. Shell, being the loyal soldier, didnt fight it in public like the other guys did. Not sure if Shell settled or let it go.

WTF are you talking about? Hue never told Grads he was the best nor Campbell. You’re full of sht. Point your bitterness for firing that wife beater elsewhere.

Oh, I see. So what you’re saying is you’re a liar?
You just posted : “TerrapinRaider Says:

So what YOU are saying is he told everyone EXCEPT Grad, Bey, and JC that they’re the best?
Ignorant take. You sound like a little rah rah high school cheerleader.

@ KoolKell
Yeah I know. If Hue is thrown out the door before the end of the 2011 season, we may never recover.
Naah, once Al is gone things will get better. I am not saying we can not win a SB with Al in charge, but it makes it that much harder. That and the Zebras.

Greg Papa’s talking about Mista FAB, says he’s going to his party with Lynch tonight.
January 19th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Pagano’s an idiot.
Would it have killed Pagano to have just said, “I like it here in Baltimore, and don’t feel like going to Oakland right now?”
Burning your bridges for no reason at all is a stupid move.
January 19th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
If we lose Bush via FA, I want either Lynch or Ricky Williams as his replacement.
January 19th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
“two year sentence in Oakland was enough”. LOL
January 19th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
What is Justin Fargas doing now?
Is he still in the NFL?
January 19th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
Interesting that Oakland isn’t good enough for Pagano, but Saunders seems more than willing.
What does that say about where they are in their careers?
January 19th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
get ready for all the haters hue…a lot if them are in here….
January 19th, 2011 at 6:42 pm
Al spoke pretty highly of Bush yesterday, I think he stays.
January 19th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Hue Jackson’s for real. But then again, so was Kiffin. I can see Al at this time next year. “He had us all fooled”
January 19th, 2011 at 6:48 pm
I would hate to lose Bush, Seymour, Gallery. Nnamdi too, but I could understand it.
January 19th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Vegas,
I believe I read earlier that Pagano’s two year stint in Oakland was Shell II and Kiffin’s first season.
So, I’m sure his stay in Raiderland was probably not a very pleasant one. Right smack dab in the middle of the dysfunction and paranoia at it’s worst.
I’m sure he was part of some coaching staffs that were on the receiving end of some thorough chewing out and reamings if you no what I mean.
From what I’ve read Mr. Davis is a demanding and tough boss to work for in GOOD times.
I’m sure it was an ugly scene and can see why he had no wish to leave Baltimore to return.

The FBI says tips from the public are leading them closer to whoever planted a bomb in Spokane on Martin Luther King Day.
Monday’s Unity march could have been a tragedy if not for three wide-eyed city workers who spotted a backpack that wasn’t supposed to be on the parade route.
Now FBI special agent Frank Harrill says other tipsters are coming forward.
http://www.mynorthwest.com/category/local_news_articles/20110119/FBI-receives-tips-on-Spokane-bomb/
You’d think this story would get more attention, especially right after Tucson, but…………..
“We’ve been benefiting…from a stream of information from the public that has been fruitful and we hope that continues,” he said.
No one has taken responsibility for what Harrill calls an act of domestic terrorism. There is also no motive.
“Whether it be a targeted attack to hurt a specific person or group, whether it was racially motivated, we don’t know yet,” said Harrill.

When he could walk, he’d walk into the training room, and simply drop a towel on the floor, and get his shoes wiped.

January 19th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
On a more positive note…I like the idea of bringing in Winston Moss. He’s a former player and obviously has Raider ties. He’s somebody that Al has been interested in before.
Green Bay runs a scheme where they play alot of physical man to man defense with CWood and Al Harris previously. But they mix in some other coverages and also bring a lot of exciting pressure packages as well.
January 19th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
Damn it! Missed the Cable interview. But it sounds like he didn’t talk about the presser. I guess he talked a little about the coaching carousel and the games this weekend.
January 19th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
The Raiders will franchise seymour once the cba is put in place… Nnamdi already said he wants to be back, Bush will be a restricted free agent at the most, and Gallery should have been cut four years ago… I understand that he has become a formidable guard, but he can be replaced with out spending too much money. In fact with the money you would spend to bring him back it would be better to nab Logan Mankins for a few $ more.

What happens when a food fight gets nasty?
A Philadelphia man shot one of his friends after discovering the friend was eating his cake, The Philadelphia Daily News reported.
The men were driving in the east of the city in the early hours of Monday morning when the driver spotted his passenger chowing down on some cake.
The men argued, culminating in their getting out of the car and the driver shooting his passenger in the chest, police said.
The 31-year-old victim was listed in critical condition earlier in the week. The hospital could not provide an update. The driver was on the lam.

January 19th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
I know alot of people on here will say , well AD won’t let Moss bring in any of those exotic blitz packages or coverages from Green Bay. But I don’t buy it, and here’s why.
Yea, Al has his philosphies on what he wants Raider football to be about. On offense he wants power running and a verical passing game. Stretch the field with the constant threat of THE BOMB. Waren Wells, Cliff Branch, James Jett and DHB, right.
Yet he hired Gruden and let him bring his WCO to Oakland. I think AD looks at WCO as “girly” football. Short dink and dunk passes. Derisively refers to it as “percentage” football instead of “pressure” football.
On defense, he believes the Raider way is to play tight man to man, bump and run, right? Hayes and Haynes, Old man Willie, etc.
But he let Marshall play some zone and bring some blitz packages. And in the infamous overhead projector presser he knocked KIffin for playing his cover 2 in the season opener vs. Denver…and getting destroyed.
Jerry has alluded to it several times in his chats, actually. A coordinator can do whatever he wants. But it better work. If he goes outside the “Raider way” and it blows up in his face, he damn sure is gonna hear about it. And face the wrath of Al.
So maybe Moss can bring a Green Bay style of D to Oaktown, and let’s just hope it works. Because we do have some nice young puzzle pieces on D.

You’re referring to Mike Silver’s article on the Raiders back in the 90’s I believe. Davis would drop the towel after getting mud on it and Run run George would grab it and clean it up for him. Silver is still a jerk though.
January 19th, 2011 at 7:38 pm
Well said Buckeyeraider. I agree. Al does let the coaches coach until they show they arnt doing a very good job.

………
That’s why he drafted JaMarcus Russell before Kiffin had coached one single game. You probably lie in your sleep.
January 19th, 2011 at 7:54 pm
KC owners name is ‘Hunt’. Your nickname here is ‘Hunt eat Raiders’. I took that to mean you were saying “Kc eats Raiders”. I’m sure that’s how the other poster took it too.
Then, in another post you said “we” when referring to the Raiders so now I’m confused where you are coming from.
January 19th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Al has made many mistakes that were glaringly obvious but I don’t think the Jamarcus debacle was one of them; as far as drafting him is concerned.
At the time we were desperately in need of a good QB and Russell was the overwhelming top prospect. Heck, even Mel Kiper predicted Russell could turn out to not only be a franchise QB for Oakland but one of the all time greats.
Now Darrius Heyward Bey? That’s a different story.
January 19th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
Al wants a new stadium, Al wants another SB. To be honest..just out of respect, I hope he gets both with what little time he has left.
AD looks pretty bad, I’m sure he’s tossin California grass.

RMR,
What kind of garbled logic is that? Not sure what one has to do with the other. What does letting a pimply faced kid, right out of college, rookie head coach making a 70-100 mil dollar call on the No. 1 overall pick have to do with a DC mixing in a few blitzes?
Besides, how many HC’s,let alone rookie HC get’s to make that call. Especially the first time they had THE NO. 1 OVERALL pick in Raider history.
I’m sure Kiffin, like most HC’s had his input. Ultimately that is the GM’s and in this case the owner/GM’s call. Not unlike any other franchise in pro sports.

“Tossin California grass”?
One thing I found interesting in the presser is Al asking for support from the fans in regard to ticket sales. Has he ever done that before?
If we have the highest payroll (players) in the league then where is he getting his $ from? I realize there’s revenues from TV and shared revenues as well, but he’s never gone cheap for player talent.
January 19th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Never liked Silver KK. He jsut sounds so full of himself all the time or his articles. I’ve learned to ignore him.

44. Mike Mayocks my guy far as analysts go. He said he would not take Russell in the first round. I don’t hink anyone could’ve seen the all time bum he’d become. Its Almost unheard of…except for Marinovich.
I don’t look at it much because it hurts but Russell really COULD have been good. Moving on….

January 19th, 2011 at 8:25 pm
What I got from that presser is Al wanting to justify to everyone why he dumped Cable. He realizes the media was all over him for that and wanted to make the case for it.
There is no way to positively spin the WAY he did it. It makes sense getting rid of Cable for just the sole reason the Raiders should have done even better than the 8-8 the media is praising Cable for.
He should’ve just stuck with that and left the rest of the garbage out of it. Cable isn’t perfect. Who of us is? He didn’t deserve the lambasting he got from Al, but even IF he did, Al should have been a bit more subtle in revealing it. It just came off as Al being a petty, vindictive bastard.
And man it was going sooo well at the start. Too bad that PR person “f’d up”.
January 19th, 2011 at 8:25 pm

His whole philosophy is to be indefinable.

Where to start. Agree. Like someone said, probably was pre-emptive. Should have let it be Hues day, not a lambast festival. Added too much circus to the show. Al sure looked leaky. I feel for the guy, but no sympathy. Ambivalent (sp?) yes, just goes with the dysfunction. Hue did show cinfidence for sure, and added a little hope to what has been an odd last couple of weeks.
January 19th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
“It just came off as Al being a petty, vindictive bastard.”
Coaches get fired.
Usually saying ‘just wanted to go in a different direction, and we appreciate everything he did while he was here’ is all that needs to be said.
then everyone goes on their merry way.
then there is al’s way

Da Rayduh maybe you felt the same way I did when it started and Hue was so confident, saying all the right things and u really felt like he really meant it. Al was doing well (for his age etc.). I have to admit braced myself for when he was to announce his name and breathed a sigh of relief when he said it correctly. That’s pretty sad. But Al made up for it and then some.
I love the fact that Hue was so NOT satisfied with the 8-8. Some coaches downplay losing at the outset; not wanting to have so much pressure to win right off the bat. A lot of coaches say “in time, we have a chance to be very good here”. “It may take some time, but we’re gonna get there” etc. etc. but not Hue.
With Cable, it was like “well, we did some good things out there today, but just came up a bit short. We’ll look at film and just get better”.
With Hue, I sense we’ll hear “losing today was totally unacceptable. We are going to fix this and be back to kick some butt next week”.
Hue seems a lot less tolerant of losing and sees no moral victories.
January 19th, 2011 at 8:53 pm
Rich-O, err umm, I mean Archive,
I get the feeling Al is like some kinda Mafia Don with “old world” values in his mind. If you’re one of “his guys” or a loyal soldier, then you have a frind for life.
I’ve heard of him paying peoples medical bills and picking up the tab for funerals and such.
I read a story about when the Raiders played in one of thos preseason games overseas. He flew like twenty former Raiders over to the game. Most of those guys who played in the sixties and seventies didn’t make a lot of money. Everything over there was expensive and they were running out of cash. I guess AD was handing out wads of cash and loving every minute of it.
However, if you wrong him or the Raiders in his mind. Well, Then you have a mortal enemy. He will go for the jugular. And yes he can be petty and vindictive.
He must have felt Cable leaked that to the media. What he did the other day was tacky and in poor taste. It should’ve been Hue Jackson’s moment to shine.
Instead, Al stole the show and used it to settle a score. Kind of sad, really.
January 19th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
It would be interesting to see what Winston Moss brings to the table as a DC; Green Bay went from a 4-3 to a 3-4 when they hired Dom Capers two (three?) years ago, and drafted accordingly. Their defense has improved significantly under Capers, but as noted in here by others, Moss is a former Raider familiar with the philosophy in Oakland.
Personally, I like Dave McGinnis from the Titans and explained why in an earlier post, but it would be intriguing to see what Moss would bring from his experiences with the different schemes utilized during his tenure in Green bay.
