RICK REILLY LICKED SOMETHING...

... needs to be his own ass.  I used to love Rick Reilly.  I used to love his introspective pieces in the back of Sports Illustrated and actually purchase his books. (not just look up synopsis on Wikipedia and call it a day)


Now he works for the Worldwide Eater of Sports and does a very cheesy and scripted show called Homecoming.  Needless to say, the fact he suffered this humility made me happy.  He said he would lick the Capitol dome if the Rockies made the playoffs. Open up and lick away - I hope you get Swine Flu you friggin sell out. (via 850 KOA AM)





OAKLAND PRISON BLUES

Head Coach Tom Cable is in trouble.  A lot of trouble.  His 1-3 Raider team has gone directly downhill after an impressive performance against the Chargers in Week 1.  

Since that game, the Raiders have only found the endzone once (Week 2 against the Chiefs) and his "franchise" quarterback is destroying defenses with his 42.4 QB Rating. 

Oh yeah and remember that "supposed" incident.  Well things are getting worse. (via Fanhouse)

The DA ultimately will determine whether criminal charges will be brought against Cable for allegedly attacking and fracturing the jaw of Raiders defensive assistant Randy Hanson during a training camp coaches' meeting on Aug. 5. 

Man, Coach - that sounds pretty bad.  How confident is the prosecution that they have proper evidence against you?

"Clear-cut evidence," said Hanson's San Francisco-based attorney John McGuinn, who told FanHouse that Cable attacked his client "out of the blue, totally without warning" during a defensive coaches' staff meeting, and that Hanson provided Napa police with X-rays clearly showing a fracture of Hanson's upper left jaw bone.

Shit Tom, you are in real trouble.  Well I mean, you are making an NFL head coaches salary, you can get a good lawyer to find a loophole.  What does the law say?


If charged and convicted of the felony charges under California Penal Code Section 245 (a)( 1), Cable, 44, could receive a maximum sentence of four years in a state prison, and a fine not exceeding $10,000, or both the fine and imprisonment.

Well hey Tom, at least you could still salvage your season, right?  Hmm, this week you play..the....Giants!
