NFP: Davis informed he violated rules
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008 at 8:08 am in Oakland Raiders.
During the same press conference in which Al Davis essentially accused his own coach of tampering, he may have went too far in charging the New England Patriots with the same offense with regard to wide receiver Randy Moss.
The National Football Post reported Tuesday Davis had received a letter he was in violation of league rules for his comments regarding Moss and the Patriots.
This is what Davis said a week ago regarding New England’s acquisition of Moss: “Mike (Lombardi) sold what’s his name, (Bill) Belichick on the idea that he could run. They tampered with him. I rememver Bob Kraft saying taht he had to look him in the eye and all that. They went down and worked him out, he could run. He’s their team, of course, with the quarterback.”
Davis said this after the formal press conference in conversation with several reporters crowded around his table, with tape recorders running.
Lombardi is a contributing writer for the National Football Post, an on-line site launched by former NFL executive Andrew Brandt in August.
The story on the letter sent to Davis has no byline.
Lombardi was fired by the Raiders a month after the NFL draft during which the Raiders dealt Moss to New England for a fourth-round draft pick and also acquired quarterback Josh McCown and wide receiver Mike Williams from Detroit.
As a member of the Raiders personnel department, it would be Lombardi’s job to sell the Patriots on the idea that Moss still had his speed in order to get the Raiders better value for their pick.
Earlier in the press conference, Davis said Kiffn wanted to bring his father Monte, the defensive coordinator for the Bucs, to run the Raiders defense.
“Monte Kiffin told me he wanted to come here, even though he’s under contract to Tampa. I did not want to tamper with another team. In any event, we had our attorneys call Bruce Allen.”
Tampering isn’t likely to be an issue unless one of the teams makes it one, and the Bucs don’t appear overly concerned.
“Monte kept me informed on everything,” Bruce Allen told the Pewter report.
Monte Kiffin eventually signed another two-year deal with Tampa Bay.

first !
October 7th, 2008 at 8:13 am
huh?
October 7th, 2008 at 8:18 am
The only thing I’m worried about is Brees vs Hall.
Al will fight this and it will go on and on…
October 7th, 2008 at 8:18 am
The Raiders are going to smoked by the Saints.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:21 am
408RAIDER wrote “sue their a$$es Big Al”! Davis is the one who needs to be sued, and I hope Kiffin sues and wins a case against him for defamation of character. It is what he deserves.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:24 am
WTF mod!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:27 am
OK my comment gets deleted but ABP quotes me and his stays?
Suck 1 mod dude!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:28 am
Let’s see if Al is telling the truth
October 7th, 2008 at 8:36 am
I think Knapp will coordinate something we would hope to see the last two years on Sunday.
AL go after Ocho Cinco!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:37 am
This is much ado about nothing. At most a poor choice of words. I’m sure even Al Davis would admit that he didn’t really believe any tampering took place, otherwise he would have formally reported it to the league a long time ago. The stuff about Kiffin being a liar, though, is another matter entirely. I don’t expect Al to back down from that at all. I honestly don’t see how Kiffin and his lawyers can sue for slander and/or defamation of character, when Al Davis can point to multiple lies. Are you not allowed to call someone who tells lies a liar? It will definitely be interesting, should they decide to pursue it.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:37 am
I thought Monte wasn’t under contract. His contract had just expired, then he resigned with the Bucs.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Anybody else think we should place TE Ben Troupe on IR and sign OG Dylan Gandy? We need depth on the o-line and Gandy was just cut from the Broncos yesterday, so he knows the zone blocking system. It worked out well with us getting Cooper Carlisle.. any takers?
October 7th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Al loves to re-write history after he makes a mistake
October 7th, 2008 at 8:39 am
ABP
I could care less It wouldnt come out of my pocket… It might hurt our teams chances of signing a WR so as I said b4 Sue their azzes Big Al!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:40 am
The Saints lost last night. They turned the ball over a lot. What are the Raiders chances of getting a W on Sunday?
Raiders are well rested from the bye week
Saints are coming off a short week and tough loss
If Nnamdi or Deangelo can have the same type of impact Antoine Winfield had against the Saints we’ll be in good shape, but surprisingly they held AP & Taylor in check. Can JaMarcus light it up in his return to Louisiana? Come on Russ, do it for Uncle Ray!!
October 7th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Jammy is NOT going to get it done. He’s not a bust, but just another average QB.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Saints D looked very good in the whiner game and lastnight! So that has me a lil concerned about Jamarcus. I see it as a must win for our RAIDERS so we’ll see..
October 7th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Russell reminds me of McNabb. strong arm, natural leader, soft spoken, but has a presence in the huddle
he’s just young. he’s still trying to learn on the fly. he hasn’t had a mentor QB since he’s been here. plus he’s labeled as the “savior” of the franchise, which probably carries some extra weight on his shoulders. Miller and the 3 RB’s are good weapons around him, but he needs better pass protection and WR’s. He will be a star in this league
October 7th, 2008 at 8:54 am
The play of Jamarcus from last year to this year is much better. It hurts when you hit your WR in the hands and he can’t catch the football. Or he slips on a route with a perfectly thrown ball. or a penalty calls back a TD or 1st down.
It’s obvious our defense is in no position to carry the team, so the offense better score some points under Knapp.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Russell has learned that it’s better to throw it away than to take a sack or throw an interception. Now he needs to learn that it’s better to run for a few yards than throw it away. He’s got the tools, he just needs to utilize them.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:56 am
I would have a lot more confidence in Knapp if I knew it was Kiffin, and not him, who called the last third down play against the Chargers. Everybody go deep? That was just plain stupid. Like I say, I hope that wasn’t Knapp’s brilliant idea.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:57 am
at least Russell doesn’t have a Head Coach saying “let’s not give him too much, he can’t handle it” “just don’t turn the ball over!”
you have to win the turnover battle, yes. but like Trent Edwards said, you have to take your shots. if you’re only worried about not making bad plays instead of trying to focus on making good ones, you’re not going to score points.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:58 am
well said SmartGuy & 408
October 7th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Howie said it best in yesterday’s post..I can’t believe how many so called “Raider Fans” eat out the hands of the media…
wow…
October 7th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Coach Cable is sounding more confident, more sure of what’s going on, than the little baby…
October 7th, 2008 at 9:02 am
#21 if he makes the play then who ever called the play would be a hero.. You have to take risks in the NFL.. A coward can’t win ever… IMO
October 7th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Johnnie Lee is the man….he’s coming on strong and is going to get something done SOON….
October 7th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Hope you’re right Cope… I still think our only hope is for Walker to man up and start ballin! Maybe now thet Kiffin is gone he will grow a pair and start to earn his money.. He has caught just about every thing & then kiffin would pull him? WTF was that about?
October 7th, 2008 at 9:11 am
408 > my perception of the deal with Jevon is that he’s never open….if that is the case, put Chaz in!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:12 am
haha MR
beat you to it
hope you’re having a great morning
October 7th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Jevon and Curry ain’t gettin’ it done. Put in Watkins, Chaz and Johnnie Lee and pay the price. We suck anyway, so we might as well get them in there.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Cope I agree with you on Chaz! Hell I totally agree with post 32
October 7th, 2008 at 9:25 am
Just wanted to remind all of you that post here, that you are all idiots. Please stay away from all other Raider related websites, you are not wanted, because you are morons.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:26 am
408RAIDER: I wouldn’t call it ‘cowardly’, trying to pick up a first down with the game on the line. I’d call it sensible.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Davis is in violation of being the worst owner in the league (as of right now - don’t even start with me Davis a$$ kissers).
October 7th, 2008 at 9:40 am
By the way…I know this has already been mentioned numerous times but anyone that comes on here happy as peaches & cream that they were the first to post is a friggin loser!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:43 am
thanks Crap.
Al Davis rocks!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:45 am
i’m happy as peaches & cream.
anybody want some coffee & pecan pie?
it’s on the house!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Al Davis didn’t violate any rules, Lane Kiffin did
that’s why he was fired..
October 7th, 2008 at 9:49 am
SmartGuy (great name BTW)
Ok does conservative work better than cowardly? All I’m saying is we wernt running the ball well on the first 2 downs so why not throw it? I mean every 1 knew we were gonna run it right? So great call we just failed to execute.. Maybe a play action pass would have worked better…..
October 7th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Al Davis didn’t violate any rules? Did you read the article?
Which rules did Lane Kiffin violate? The ones Davis makes up for his coaches as he goes? Demanding more from his owner? Demanding more from his players? Not allowing Davis to game plan? Getting rid of scholarship players? Changing the loser attitude in our locker room?
October 7th, 2008 at 9:54 am
i hated Kiffin’s conservative gameplans.
run-run-run or run-run-pass
then punt
teams know that on 3rd and short you’re probably going to run and on 3rd and long you’re going to pass, therefore they stack the box on 1st & 2nd and blitz on 3rd.
how about a pass once in a while on 1st or 2nd down? or a pass once in a while on 3rd and short? change things up. take advantage of mismatches. This is what Cable promises and Kiffin failed to do.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:55 am
crap: how did Kiffin change the loser attitude in our locker room?
by losing?

Well, I bet Denver now has a backup disgruntled former Raiders coach (Kiffin) to replace Shananhan whenever he leaves. Al Davis just secured a job for Kiffin in Denver’s future.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Ha - I have a troll. I must be tickin someone off.
October 7th, 2008 at 9:59 am
thanks for the info Wishbone, i’ll have to stop by and grab a copy
NOT!
what does it matter? he’s still the owner of our fav team. whether you like him or not changes nothing
October 7th, 2008 at 10:00 am
i can see Kiffin in Denver, Tampa or USC
October 7th, 2008 at 10:01 am
At the very least Cable looks, talks and acts like a real head coach. Kiffin never did. Kiffin was never a head coach of anything and didn’t know how to manage a winning game. He was so afraid of trying not to lose that he didn’t know how to win. Things can only get better with EVERYONE now on the same page. How great would that be to have DeAngelo Hall have a big game and beat New Orleans? Not saying it will happen, but I think there is a much better chance of it now that Kiffin is gone.

Rockstar—I completely agree with you, but I just wanted to pass along the info cuz it’s interesting. That’s all.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:06 am
Kiffin is a loser. He will never coach in the NFL. He was exposed as a fraud. He will be lucky to coach girls soccer at a middle school. Time for Lance to hit up Chuky and daddy for a job with Tampon Bay.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:07 am
well said #52 & 55
many people rant on here about what a dirtbag Davis is or isn’t. that doesn’t matter though unless fans are contemplating switching teams because of Davis. A Raiders fan that is loyal will root for them despite bad ownership and down years. seeing the last 5 years play out that should cover most of us, so why complain?
good info though. thanks for the heads up
October 7th, 2008 at 10:07 am
Awwww….look at the little troll. Wants a little attention. Here, little trolly troll….here girl. Want a little biscuit? Yes, you do. Yes, you do. Good girl. Keep trolling. Poor little troll.

I never troll. Dont need to.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:11 am
OakGlenn speaks the truth. Al thought he was getting the next Gruden, but turned out Kiffin wasn’t even close. Gruden at least had NFL experience as an OC. Don’t see Kiffin getting a job in the NFL other than maybe QB coach. His play calling sucked and his game management stunk.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:11 am
I am the glennster.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:11 am
what’s a troll on the internet?
the only trolls i know about are the fake ones that are accused of living under bridges.
and the little figures with neon green or hot pink hair. those were popular 10-15 years ago
October 7th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Everything sucked about Kiffin. He probably sucks as well. Dude is a childish pu$$y fart.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:13 am

I see alot of those neon green or hot pink hair trolls as bingo night. Lots of the only ladies bring them for luck or something. Personally I think it just makes them horny.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:13 am
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Refreshing news to read. I am so glad that the old mans life is going to become harder now. This just made my day!
October 7th, 2008 at 10:13 am
What has Lane Kiffin EVER accomplished??? You guys act like Lane was fired with a 15-5 record. He really was a fourth string play caller at USC behind Chow, Sarkisian, and Carroll. He never took control of that team. He came here, was 5-15, and never once got his offense rolling and did TONS of things that none of you guys would have done in a Madden 09 game against your friends. And NONE of it was successful.
Cable on the other hand WAS a head coach, WAS the chief playcaller in a very successful UCLA offense and has coached his units repeatedly to be the top in the National Football league at their position.
Knapp is back to playcalling. Knapp called plays in the NFC Championship game in 04 and for the Niner playoff run in the early 2000’s. The closest Lame Kiffin EVER got to that experience was when he got Chow and Sarkisian some cups of water during a bowl game.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Oak, Why the fuk are you still talking about Lane Kiffin like he is still the coach? Who gives a fuk?
October 7th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Get over it already. There is nothing more to prove. He is gone. Move on!

Chaos stfu you little pus$y. I see you took off your g@y a$$ NATION Collective bullsh!t. What a complete poser you are.
Did you accomplish ANYTHING with our stupid juvenile NATION Collective crap?
October 7th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Shut the fuk up Crap. I defended him too, but who cares now? Lets talk about how much trouble the old senile bastard is in!
October 7th, 2008 at 10:17 am
our=your I don’t claim ANY association with the homosexual club NATION COLLECTIVE.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Hey Oak, I am what I eat bytch!
October 7th, 2008 at 10:18 am
So why did our fearless leader hire him in the first place? He must have done something right.
Look, it takes time to build a winner in the NFL. A coach needs 3 years to get his scheme and players in. Yes, Kiffin didn’t accomplish much but he didn’t get much of a chance now did he. Heck, he wasn’t even allowed to hire his own D coordinator.
I don’t agree with some of the stuff he took to the media and I don’t think he’s the greatest coach either. I’m just saying he was turning things around. We went from laughing stock to at least competitive last year. The players were behind him and played hard.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Then you are A$$ Chaos. Because that is all you eat. Hairy A$$.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Crap,
I understand where you are coming from. You do speak of the truth with time to get a scheme down and how to improve the team. He did that. He made this team believe in itself again and established a running mentality.
Just stop stirring the pot on it, because it is not going to get you anywhere with the simple minded idiots in here that have their ideals set.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Nah,
She shaves that too.

My family has FIVE super bowl rings, sh1t, this team would be 0 and 90 without me. Damn old fool should have given me the fuking job. Fuk, how many stairs are there in this place?
Ryan: What? What the fuk is it Mr. Davis? I mean sh1t, I just ordered fuking pizza for the defense team meeting and someone needs to meet the god damn pizza guy! It is on me.
Davis: Listen, I want to go over the defensive game plan for Sunday against those Saints.
Ryan: What about Cable, shouldn’t that c0cksucker be here for the meeting?
Davis: Cable who?
Ryan: Fuk, jezuz, Mr. Davis, you know, the new head offensive coach, ya know, the guy you chose over me?
Davis: Oh, you mean that guy Herrera made me choose? Forget him. Let’s get down to it. How do you plan on stopping the Saints on Sunday? Dick Nolan always has those guys ready to play and that Archie Manning is a top flight quarterback. What are you going to do to slow them down?
Ryan: Archie who? What? Jezus Mr. Davis, this isn’t 1980, it is 2008. Fuk. I gotta go my pizza is probably getting cold and the guys need a nap before practice.
Davis: Stop right there Ryan. Loyalty is very important too me Ryan. I found you at Oklahoma State and made you the great coordinator that you are, and now you…
Ryan: REX was at Oklahoma state, fuk, how many times do I have to tell you…
Davis: Don’t interrupt me or I will send for Herrera.
Ryan: Sh1t, whatever, goddamned pizza is probably here…
Davis: As I was saying, what we need to do is sack Manning. The guy can’t move in the pocket, so we need to blitz with three defensive linemen and then drop 9 players into coverage…
Ryan: That would be fuking 12 men on the field…
Davis: Don’t try and tell me this game Rex, I invented it! If it wasn’t for me none of this would be here. Rozell should be in here kissing my ass right now for saving his pathetic NFL.
Ryan: Okay, okay Mr. Davis, whatever the hell you say alright? I have to go get the pizza otherwise D. Hall will be up here again reporting me to you.
Davis: Fine, fine, get to work. Speaking of work; How’s ya motha?

October 7th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Al originally wanted Sarkisian to be the head coach, cuz he was here as an assistant, but he didn’t want the job. He recommended Kiffin as a young, offensive minded guy that Al thought might be the next Gruden. Al thought he could control and mold Kiffin into a great head coach, but Al was wrong. Kiffin was just a spoiled young punk who thought he was smarter than everyone else including Al and RR. Kiffin isn’t gonna get another head coaching job in the NFL any time soon. He proved his lack of experience when it counted. Fu*k Kiffin. Al may be a senile old scumbag, but he made the right call this time.

Al Davis violating NFL rules?… Nah, not the old kook Al Davis.
Raider fans & The Al deserve each other.
Raider fans are like starved catfish feeding off the filth that settles into the murky muck.
That “muck” is their Al Davis & his dysfunctional NFL organization.
TWERPING TRUTH
Keep buying those Raider hats, Raider jackets, Raider sweat shirts, Raider sombreros, Raider blankets, & Raider beer mugs. All of which enrich kooky Al to the tune of over $200 million annually.
TWERPING MORE TRUTH
Raiders: .235 winning % in 85 games.
TWERP’S FINAL THOUGHTS
Raiders: Just lose, baby.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Kiffin hit the lottery with the Raider job. Made as much in 1 1/2 yrs as he would have gotten in 10 yrs working his way up as a coordinator. His next gig will pay far better than at USC.

The Raiders will keep getting better as they play. We have a better coach than Kiffin (not taking anything away from him), because he will motivate the team. The coordinators will do their jobs or the X and O parts, but we hav a coach with a personality (remember Madden?) not that he is, but the Raiders sorely need leadership and direction, a good left tackle wouldn’t hurt.

LOL @ post 64. I knew it. Glenn is Al Davis. You friggin old geaser going for the old ladies in bingo night. Hahahahahahaha!!!
October 7th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Al needs to trade our next year’s 1st and 2nd for Plax and OchoCinco…then we will see the results of two mavericks on the locker room.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:52 am
They are going to beat the Saints.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:56 am
No, we aren’t going to beat the Saints, we are going to whoop the Aints’ face.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:56 am
yo Jerry
whats up with the pratice fix? dont cheeze up on us now dude….
October 7th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Knowing Mike Lombardi was part of the tampering scheme and eventual cover up makes sense of him not landing another job with any NFL team.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:00 am
no more infield,
i wouldn’t punt it to Bush either. Shane is in a dome, so without weather conditions being an issue, directional punting should be easy. The Vikings weren’t very smart on ST. More of Michael Bush i can believe since Fargas & McFadden will play, but still aren’t 100% we can run on them? the Vikings couldn’t and their backs are pretty good!
October 7th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Kiffin is not there anymore so they won’t try something so stupid again just to prove a point, like they did with Hester.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Smush Bush!!!!
October 7th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Saints were overrated before last nights game. No Coulsten, no Shockey, suspect DB’s, Duece not the same RB since the injury and Brees can be rattled with some pressure. Take away Bush’s two returns and not too much there. Although the Saints are gonna be a bit desperate for a win so are we. This is gonna be a statement game for us on Sunday & a game we can win.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:18 am
I wouldn’t give a first round pick up for either Plax or Ocho, but maybe for Roy Williams or Anquan Boldin.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:23 am
hey guys what’s up??? Everyone behaving in here…lol I bet

[...] [Raiders] Al Davis Informed He Violated Rules During the same press conference in which Al Davis essentially accused his own coach of tampering, he may have went too far in charging the New England Patriots with the same offense with regard to wide receiver Randy Moss.The National Football Post reported Tuesday Davis had received a letter he was in violation of league rules for his comments regarding Moss and the Patriots.

The Battle of the Bushes coming this Sunday. All we need to do is contain Reggie on returns and he will be a non-factor.

The Raiders are going to smoked by the Saints.
I have heard every week since Denver that we are going to get smoke, but somehow we have been competitive every week.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Bart, I hope you are right but I doubt it. He’s the type of back that could kill us, running, or catching

408RAIDER wrote “sue their a$$es Big Al”! Davis is the one who needs to be sued, and I hope Kiffin sues and wins a case against him for defamation of character. It is what he deserves.
Hope in one hand, defecate in the other. See which fills up first.
October 7th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Truth is a complete defense to a charge of Slander or defamation, therefore Kiffin will lose if he files suit unless Al actually lied, which I doubt. Everything about who Kiffin really is came out in that Al Davis interview and it all makes sense regarding Kiffin’s behaviors (i.e. College jobs while employed with the Raiders, false reports by Kiffin to the media, etc. etc.). Also, it may not matter that much but Al actually doesn’t have to prove he was telling the truth, Kiffin has to prove Al was lying. The burden of proof would be on the Plaintiff, Kiffin.

October 7th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Lol, the mod is at work. Doing his modding like none other.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Jon Becker as in Ted Dansen playing the doctor?
October 7th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Kiffin doesn’t have a burden of proof. His burden will be his FUTILE attempts at finding another job other than bagging at Safeway or taking out the trash at Burger King. He will be working with Brien.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Seems like things are normal around here.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
i agree wishbone. we can beat the Saints
October 7th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
We WILL beat the Aints. They don’t have it in them.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
We can beat the Saints! Last night is proof of what we can do to breeze if we get them off thier game. Reggie cant hit his holes with that offensive line. Seems as if we are getting all defensive players back. My only issue is will our O produce!
October 7th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Drew Brees is the real deal.
He can throw to Lance Moore, Robert Meachem & Devery Henderson for 350-400 yards and 4 TD’s with ease. The key is pressure, like the Vikings had. The Vikings don’t have a good secondary, yet blitzed him all night and he finished with more INT’s than TD’s.
Reggie Bush is dangerous in space. watch the screen passes
October 7th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Jon Becker what is the criteria that you decide upon when modding or removing posts?
October 7th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Breeze has the same problem he had when he was in SD. Get him flustered and watch the pics rain. Reggie hasn’t done crap yet in this league. He is dangerous as a PR.

Please feel free to clean up the garbage that some of these posters feel compelled to spew on this site. It saps the enjoyment out of visiting site for those who want to read about football/Raiders when such juvenile drivel is allowed to fill space on this blog.
