How dysfunctional are the Oakland Raiders? So dysfunctional that Warren Sapp warns anybody who asks him about signing there to stay far away.




Al Davis knows football -- it's just '60s and '70s football. That's what it is. He's thinking that Cliff Branch is outside and [Jim] Plunkett is dropping back and you can throw it 80 yards down the field -- deep ball, deep ball, deep ball.
-- Warren Sapp

"Nobody tells you how bad it is," the former defensive tackle said on Showtime's "Inside the NFL." " ... any person that calls me on the telephone, [I tell them] do not go anywhere near Oakland."

Sapp, who retired after the 2007 season -- his fourth with the Raiders -- said that Lane Kiffin, fired this week by owner Al Davis, never got a fair chance in Oakland.

"He came in there with a change of mentality. The whole system," Sapp said on "Inside the NFL." "He changed how the locker room looked because it was going to take that kind of overhaul for Oakland to become the proud franchise we all knew it was."

Sapp said Oakland won't change for the better until Davis doesn't own the team anymore.

"[Davis] is the common equation," Sapp said on "Inside the NFL." "You take him out, put him at home watching film or whatever he is doing -- you have a functioning football organization. But once he comes over the top, he goes and starts moving it around.

"Al Davis knows football -- it's just '60s and '70s football. That's what it is. He's thinking that Cliff Branch is outside and [Jim] Plunkett is dropping back and you can throw it 80 yards down the field -- deep ball, deep ball, deep ball."

Sapp even said that Davis would call in plays when Sapp was playing for the Raiders.

"I remember the first two weeks I was there, we played a preseason game. Somebody came up one time and said, 'We're going deep right here, dog.' I said, how do you know? He said, 'The phone just rang.'

"All the preparation that goes into a week of work is there, the practicing that you have to put in order to do these things, sometimes [Al Davis] messed with that part of it and that's what kills you," Sapp said on "Inside the NFL."

But though it’s obvious that, as we recently pointed out, the game has changed but Davis hasn’t, Sapp is the same guy that he always was. So if he isn’t afraid now to crow about how bads things were, why didn’t he pop off while he was in Oakland?

And please don’t give us the old “players can get into trouble if they do that” crap. Randy Moss wasn’t bashful about speaking his mind in 2006; in multiple radio interviews that year, Moss stirred the pot.

We’re not saying that Sapp isn’t onto something. All we’re saying is that, if it was really as bad as he’s now portraying it to be, we would have heard something from Sapp at some point during his four years with the organization.

Moss was at a point in a career he was still needed and could make money from any team and being traded, Sapp...not so much!

Those are good points! Warren has never bit his tongue. Maybe Davis told his coach to go deep or somethin', who knows. It's no secret that Al has called shots. But that's not to say that is what went on with Kiffin. If Al Davis did call plays down to Kiffin, do you fools think we would have only passed the ball 3 times in one half against Buffalo? Kiffin did all the play callin' except for the SD game and that's when Al noticed that his offense can pass and move the ball through the air and that Kiffin was holding it back.

As for Sapp, I can't take anything away from him because he was a great player and he probably is telling the truth. But he's back stabbing Al, when Al signed him after no other team bid for his services... or if other teams did bid, Al out bid them so he could become a Raider, still play football, and prove he wasn't washed up. Come on, Tampa Bay let him go for an unproven "Booger" and old Al gave him an opportunity.

How come John Madden isn't talking bad about Al Davis? Madden is one of the most respected coached of all time.

because madden is stuck in the old days as well as Al so they still see eye to eye, Madden is one of the worst people to listen to on gamedays anymore!!!

Madden and Al Davis are O.G.'s mayne... I have a lot of respect for them period. Al may have done people wrong in the past (like Shanahan, Marcus Allen, Jon Gruden) but it's his team and he'll do what ever he wants with it.
