Cable Should Be Suspended, Davis Should Simply Vanish

Oh, if only Tom Cable was cool. He'd own a nickname that would stick: The Cable Guy. He has this rough, gruff, boom-and-oomph way about him, like John Madden when he was coaching the Raiders. He's a man's man and a grunt's grunt and a football player's coach, from the gut to the facial hair to the burly look. Damn right he could hang with the rowdies in the Black Hole, terrorizing the enemy with all those Darth Vaders and skull-and-crossbones creeps.

But earlier this month, according to too many sources to discount, Cable either hit and broke the jaw of one of his Oakland assistant coaches, Randy Hanson, or pushed a chair that caused Hanson to fall and hit his jaw. Either way, it wasn't cool. In fact, it was disturbingly volcanic behavior from a man who's supposed to be the most poised guy in the building, not the one losing his equilibrium simply because Hanson and the defensive coordinator, John Marshall, reportedly were having a disagreement.
