Broncos coach Mike Shanahan and fired Raiders coach Lane Kiffin agree, Al Davis is a fucking asshole

He he... Of course, we all knew that already.

You read it, while the Oakland Raiders this 2008-09 NFL football season continue to piss on the once great Silver and Black tradition Jerry Rice and Rich Gannon helped build in Oakland, Raiders owner Al Davis found even more ways for him to be the most hated man in the league these days.

For all ya'll who haven't heard, the Oakland Raiders, after losing two straight games to drop them to 1-3, have finally fired their head coach Lane Kiffin, thanks to Al Davis who blasted on his former employee in a way that would make Donald Trump himself look like a fucking angel.

In a letter addressed to the fired Lane Kiffin, it was clear that Al Davis was claiming Kiffin brought it upon himself to be fired. And although we are not sure how accurate Davis' accusations are, it was written in a way only the Raiders can pull off, pathetic but entertaining.

''I realized when I hired you that you were young and inexperienced and that there would be a learning process for you,'' Al Davis wrote in the letter. ''Your mistakes on player personnel and coaches were overlooked based on our patience with you. But I never dreamt that you would be untruthful in statements to the press as well as on so many other issues. Your actions are those of a coach looking to (sic) makes excuses for not winning, rather than a coach focused on winning.''

Davis also claimed that Kiffin didn't really want to have JaMarcus Russell as the team's quarterback, the guy Davis really really likes for some reason.

Of course, Lane Kiffin denies some of the allegations his former employer threw at him. He even said that he's almost embarrassed for his former employer for making such comments.

Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan, on the other hand, feels Kiffin's pain after firing. After all, he was also one of the Raiders head coaches Al Davis fired after only four games into the 1989 season.

Shanahan was fired after only four games into the '89 season. Not only was he fired mind you, he was fired with a pledge from Al Davis that he will not be paid what was left on his contract. Yep, just like what Kiffin is going through these days.

For what it's worth, Shanahan claims Davis at least liked Kiffin more than he did him. How? Read on.

''I was a little disappointed, to be honest with you. When you take a look at it, I was there 582 days. Lane Kiffin was there 616 days. So, what it really means is that Al Davis liked Lane more than he liked me,'' Shanahan joked during his weekly news conference.

''I really don't think it's fair. I won three more games, yet he got 34 more days of work. That just doesn't seem right.''
