Raiders Cable cleared in Napa assault case; DA passes; Breaking news


TOM CABLE CLEARED...NAPA DA PASSES

Breaking News...

Tom Cable, the embattled Oakland Raiders head coach, who has been under legal scrutiny the past ten weeks, can breathe a sigh of relief.

The Napa county DA, Gary Lieberstein, has decided not to press charges against Cable for his alleged assault against ex-Raiders assistant coach, Randy Hansen. After an altercation at team training camp headquarters back on August 5Th, Hansen alleged Cable broke his jaw in a fistfight and threatened to "kill me."

The DA, according to my sources, simply did not have sufficient evidence to pursue the case, let alone try it in a court of law, which helps explain why its taken so long to resolve.

My best guess is that Hansen, who is not a particular favorite in Raiders circles, may try to pursue his case in a civil court. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, Cable has a football game Sunday to map pout and his players and presumably he, will concentrate on beating the NY Jets.
