A thousand, a million apologies for the lack of Blog updates and Tweets on Twitter yesterday...my connection at Qualcomm was so slow it made logging on near impossible.
In any event, just wanted to give you a heads up that this is my week for "mandatory" vacation, per corporate, and as such, the Blog will be dark until next Monday.
Until then...

And while I'm logged on, the Raiders have released a pair of statements regarding the allegations of past physical abuse by Tom Cable on a pair of women from his past, and one on ESPN, which reported the story Sunday morning. Enjoy...and type at ya next week.
"Over the last few days, we learned of the allegations made against Coach Cable and we are, of course, aware of his response thereto. In conjunction with the League office, we will undertake a serious evaluation of this matter.
We wish to be clear that we do not in any way condone or accept actions such as those alleged.
There have been occasions on which we have dismissed Raider employees for having engaged in inappropriate conduct. For reasons of privacy, we kept the basis for those dismissals confidential. We endured public opprobrium for the dismissals, all the while knowing our basis for them was appropriate."
And, the Raiders' ESPN release:
"ESPN's role in this matter must be carefully examined. ESPN routinely disseminates falsehoods about the Raiders. During the last year, ESPN (working with someone who was in this organization) engaged in a calculated effort to distort the truth about the Raiders, utilizing lies and innuendo."
