Happy Festivus from the Raiders!!?!?!

I made this picture in honor of Al Davis. I think it shows how he has been the center of the NFL this week and for much of the NFL's existence.

Now for those of you who haven't been paying attention, I will list what you have missed so far in this season of Festivus:

• Feats of Strength: John Herrera challenges Tim Kawakami to a fight. Tim, much like George backs down. John is declared the winner.
• The airing of grievances: Lane Kiffin and Rob Ryan kicked it off after the Bronco game, but two days ago Al Davis fought back. He came out with all of his grievances and had proof to back him up. Davis is clearly the winner.
• Festivus Miracles: Al Davis admitted he had made some mistakes. Whats the first step towards recovery? Admitting you have a problem, his is hiring the wrong men to run his team. Lane Kiffin turned out to be the much like Jerrys date. He looked good at points, but under the right light he was as ugly as ever. He turned out to be a two-faced manipulator and the person handing the reporters all of their inside information.
• The pole: Costanzas pole was an actual metal pole, the Raiders is Sebastian Janikowski. Kiffin trotted Janikowski out for a 76 yard field goal. Seriously he deserved to get fired for that alone. Let me clarify,it was not as good as a punt. Yes it worked out to be like a punt. But considering they have the most consistent punter in the NFL in Shane Lechler and the Chargers have one of the most dangerous kick returners, it was one of the most perplexing things I have ever seen. That includes the season of Shell. Kiffin loses yet again, and shows why he deserved to get canned this holiday season.
  

The biggest plus-side to this holiday season is a capable assistant will now be leading the Raiders. Tom Cable grew up a fan of the silver and black. He understands Al's place in history and how much he has meant to the game of football. He understands being a Raider is something special. He understands that Al Davis is the Raiders. All traits that Lane Kiffin never possessed. He has the ability to bring back "pride and poise" to the Raiders. He has his goal and the strength to see it through. I doubt the offensive scheme will change much, but the play-calling will. He also has an idea about what it takes to win, and is committed to seeing this team return to the past greatness. This is good for the team, and provided that he doesn't let the O-Line slip any because of his promotion, this should be good. Time will tell if Al Davis has picked the right man to run the ship.
