This Quentin Tarantino movie of a Raiders training camp just got a whole lot more NC-17. Randy Hanson, the assistant coach who somehow suffered a fractured jaw in an altercation with head coach Tom Cable, has hired a lawyer and is pressing charges against coach Cable for allegedly punching him.
If that's not enough, sources say Hanson is also alleging that Tom Cable choked him while screaming, "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Look at the bright side, Raider fans. At least the chair and the cabinet aren't planning on pressing any charges.
The National Football Post is now reporting that Hanson has lawyered up and is fully cooperating with Napa Police. He's handing over medical records to law enforcement, and he claims his jaw has somehow gone from "only fractured" to "definitely broken". If the jaw really is broken, we're talking felony charges against Tom Cable.
But the really damaging stuff is in the more detailed accounts of the fracas which are now emerging since Hanson decided to turn sides. "Cable knocked Hanson out of his chair and up against the wall and into a cabinet," .. . "Cable and Hanson fell to the floor, where Hanson was choked, the source said, and Cable was pulled off Hanson by the their (coaches) before Cable went after Hanson again."
It appears Hanson's sudden change of heart was facilitated by the fact that the Raider organization attempted to demote him after the incident. The Post reports that Hanson had a phone conversation with Al Davis, and Davis gave him three options for a reduced role to minimize friction between him and Cable. One of these options was to simply not show up for work anymore and continue collecting his full pay.
And Hanson hung up on him.

Thrown the whole scum team, coaches & owner in jail. IMO the worst pathetic franchise in all of sports
‘Atta boy slugger.
Echoes of Bill Romanowski
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
go Broncos!
Cable isn’t close to good enough for anyone to consider letting him get away with this. If the owner had any sense Cable would be fired immediately. The owner doesn’t, so we’ll see what happens...

If true, that was a really stupid move on Al Davis’ part.
I haven’t followed football the way I used to, but am I right in my assumption that Al Davis, Mr “Just win baby”, is now running that organization into the ground?
Your assumption is right.
fractured and “broken” are the same thing.
Hey Coach Cable...time to lay off the ‘roids.
That would have worked for me.........LOL!
I'm looking forward to the day I meet my "old coach" aka boss, face to face........
Too bad Darren McFadden was picked by this team. He’s a great talent. Hopefully, the Oak’s season will only get better.
I fear it’s going to be another loooong season for the Raiders (and I don’t mean playoffs) :-/
Ya got a good point there. Also from So Cal.
