TOM CABLE
Tom Cable may not be much of a football coach but he sure can punch! Reports are the Oakland Raiders head coach hit one of his assistant coaches in the face earlier this month. Several stories say Cable socked 31-year-old defensive backs coach Randy Hanson on August 5th, breaking his jaw.
The story blew up on the Internet yesterday but quickly migrated to the mainstream press. It was initially reported by the National Post. The alleged incident happened weeks ago at the Raiders headquarters in Napa Valley. AOL Fanhouse confirmed the story of Cable punching Hanson but implied it was a cheap shot saying, “Hanson never saw it coming.”
Pro Football Talk reports that Raiders players were chanting “Cable, Bumaye!” at practice Monday. The phrase is a takeoff on the famous chant in Zaire from the Ali/Foreman fight in the ’70s.
