Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive didn't use notes and didn't know how long he spoke. His message to his football coaches and athletic directors Wednesday couldn't be clearer: Stop the public verbal sparring of the past few months. Now. "I had all 5-9, 170 pounds of me into every word I said," Slive said. Slive hasn't been happy about the string of public exchanges over the past few months, almost all involving new Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin. Coaches said the commissioner didn't mince words behind closed doors Wednesday during joint session of football coaches and athletic directors at the league's annual spring business meetings. ...

Lane Kiffin didn't back down or hand out apologies Tuesday before he met his fellow Southeastern Conference football coaches many of whom he has called out and insulted. The new Tennessee coach and his SEC colleagues gathered in Destin for face-to-face meetings at the annual spring conference. All the coaches individually addressed the media before the sessions began. In his first few months on the job, Kiffin has taken verbal jabs at several of the SEC heavyweights, including Florida's Urban Meyer, Alabama's Nick Saban and South Carolina's Steve Spurrier. Kiffin called Meyer a "cheater" on signing day in February. Meyer said before meeting Kiffin ... Read Full Story

Although Al Davis seems to always be famously quick on the trigger firing head coaches, he is not exactly taking quick action to hire a new one, but maybe that is for the best. Davis isn't exactly in the good graces with anyone these days with his erratic and almost idiotic decision making, but I have to think he may have learned his lesson for being quick on the draw with this past decision like signing free agents DeAngelo Hall, Javon Walker and hiring a young head coach in Lane Kiffin. It is pretty much common sense these days in professional sports that there ... Read Full Story

So there I am, patting myself on the back for calling this week’s upset as Johnnie Lee Higgens returned a punt for 93-yards with under 5 minutes to go. The Raiders defense, playing solid as usual, just had to shut down the Fish for one drive and I will become a self-ordained seer. Well no, a couple of big plays capped off by Oakland’s homegrown Devone Bess’ 17-yard grab got Miami into field goal range and here we are. Raiders lose 17-15 to the Dolphins as the offense, now under command of interim head coach Tom Cable, extended their streak to 13 straight quarters ... Read Full Story
Of all the teams in the National Football League, the most difficult team to make predictions for on draft day are the Oakland Raiders. Al Davis is still Al Davis, and his selections are made by his logic alone. This year, though, may be a little easier than previous years, as the Raiders have some glaring weaknesses on their roster, and you have to feel that Davis will go that way in order to get Oakland competitive again, and to get the...
