Al Davis Is Not A Fan Of Mort
Wednesday, October 01, 2008
There were a lot of crazy and inane things about Al Davis' press conference after his firing of Lane Kiffin, but none moreso than his rant on the Raiders beat writers and their relationship with one Christopher Mortensen. Davis went on a bit of a tirade about how quickly the ESPN reporter got access to the firing, and here's the hilarious, yet very very awkward, video....
I don't even know where to begin with this. I've obviously been very critical of Mortensen in the past, but I think the clip above finally proves that he actually tries to be accurate at his job from time to time (I kid, I kid). I think that video just really solidifies how crazy the Raiders organization is. A beat reporter actually does his job, and then a national reporter actually does his job....and they're the ones doing things wrong. So very dysfunctional.
I'm sure Raiders fans don't even care about this media war bullshit. All the want is a team that won't lose and make them look like idiots when they break out the silver spray paint and the "Road Warriors" outfits.

I just wish Al would've worn those ladies' glasses he has... It would've completed the whole "Al is an incompetent human being" look.
It's just sad to watch someone this senile make a complete fool of themself. The Raiders won't make the playoffs until he's comatose or room tempature.
That is one crazy dude.
I love how he had the official letter on a projector.
With one crazy rant, Al Davis justified Chris Mortensen's entire career. Hilarious.
Can Al concentrate as hard on building a winning team at least HALF as much as he focuses on screwing over his coaches and insulting people in the media who don't care to begin with?
I can't believe Mort got validated. Al is just too senile to know that the only guy that is legit anymre is Jay Glazer!
The Raider fans look like idiots as it is when they break out the spray paint and the "Road Warriors" outfits. As for the Raiders organization themselves, I think that Al Davis needs to retire and they need to start completely anew.
Smile Raiders fans -- there's gotta be a Davis family line of succession too.
It'll be milleniums before you're any good again.
I hope no one takes Davis' strawberries....
"strawberries.' Hee!
To quote the great philosopher Sam Kinison:
"AAAAAHHHHH!! AAAAAHHHH!! The dead fucking live!!"
AA, as a Broncos fan, I can honestly tell you that the Raiders fans not only look like idiots, they ARE idiots, regardless of what happens. I mean look at what happened to Mike Shanahan. We've enjoyed having him a great deal.
The Commitment to Excrement continues.
Here's hoping that if the Chiefs sack Herm Edwards that they hire Kiffin and they proceed to beat the Raider like a rented government mule just like Shanahan (Denver) and Turner (San Diego) do on biannual basis.
I had to LOL when Al said "all those great players"
Al Davis is a pompus fucktard.
That is all.
