Oakland Raiders rookie head coach Lane Kiffin admitted Tuesday morning that when he watches LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell play football, he thinks of John Madden.

Well, sort of.

"With JaMarcus, you have someone who's like a video game, I guess,'' said Kiffin, whose table at the AFC head coaches media breakfast was jam-packed with reporters, in no small part because Oakland owns the top pick in next month's NFL Draft. "That's what I tell our guys. Just because he can make all these throws you can make on a video game.''

It figures, doesn't it? At 31, Kiffin is the youngest head coach in the league, so dropping a video-game reference into his scouting report of the strong-armed Russell only makes sense. I'm guessing Kiffin grew up playing some Madden himself. Probably still does.

Oh yeah and it looks like Moss is coming back...

He said he had a productive 15-minute conversation with Moss when he took the job, and said the conversation was not the way it was portrayed in some corners of the media -- a contentious talk with Moss saying he didn't want to be with Oakland. He said in a situation in which a player might not be giving his full effort, he'd want a coach to say to him, "Hey, this is what I expect of you,'' instead of yelling at him for loafing. And he thinks he can get Moss to play all-out. If, of course, Moss is Kiffin's problem at all this year.

"Do you think Randy Moss will be on the Raiders this year?'' I asked Kiffin.

"I think he'll be on our team ... '' he said. "As of right now, he's on our roster, and I'm looking forward to working with him.''

^4-sho.... The Raiders aren't too bad on Madden though. Brooks be pissing me off sometimes because he be throwing bad throws man. He gets picked off even when I use the qb vision correctly... The D is cool though.
