Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable supposedly clocked one of his assistants in the jaw (and broke it) this past summer and it's now becoming clear that he's done this kind of thing a few times before, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
An ex-wife and an ex-girlfriend are saying he assaulted them numerous times when they were with him. The Napa district attorney decided to not charge Cable with assault in the punching incident with the assistant, Randy Hanson.
Cable's former wife says he hit her in the jaw back in 1988 and she promptly got a restraining order and a divorce. His former girlfriend, Marie Lutz, says he assaulted her only last January.
Cable says that he did hit his former wife, but it was an open-handed slap.
So that must make it OK.
You'd think with a two game losing streak and a 2-6 record, Cable would be hitting himself instead of other people.

We all have a past - give the guy a break.

Common now, the last time the Raiders were even remotely good there was a guy named Rich Gannon at the helm.

*Chuckles* Or something like that. Of course, everyone will think the above comment is ridiculous, and it is...just as ridiculous as every time I see someone extrapolating something about all black people because Terrell Owens is an idiot. *Snorts* As for the Raiders, is anyone really paying attention to them anymore? Their Commitment to Excellence has become a Commitment to Insanity thanks to Al Davis.
Also, "we all have a past" is not sufficient reason to lay off. Many of us have paid the price for ours. If I slapped my wife and it was reported to the police, I'd have to report it to my workplace or risk losing my job, and they'd have the right to fire me. Cable makes substantially more money than me. He doesn't get off the hook for domestic violence because it's a private matter. Frankly, people should be at least as outraged by this as they were by Michael Vick. They won't be, and that's one of the horrors of domestic violence. It's "funny." Worse yet, it's "not news," because it's "private." Committing a felony by striking another human being is not private and SHOULD be news, particularly when that person has already been accused of a previous felony. It should be a criminal case...but when you're in a relationship with the person, that must make it ok to remain quiet.

This blog is like a girl spreading gossip. It is only given the facts that make Cable look the worse.
One more note; What kind of sissy is Hanson? Cable's ex-wife can take a hit from Cable, but he can't.
