Cable Bumaye!

Don't mess with the Oakland Raiders, or their filing cabinets.
.
Like the Zaire fight fans in 1974, chanting "Ali Bumaye" (Ali kill him) when Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman to win boxing's heavyweight title, the Raiders took to the chant "Cable Bumaye" when the Cable Guy took the field for last Monday's practice.

I'm gonna need to get me one of the soon-to-be-on-the-market T's for this one.

Did Tom Cable punch assistant Randy Hanson in the mug, or did he merely assist him from his chair and into a filing cabinet?

.

Don't know, wasn't there.

.

Don't care, either.

The Raider Nation has been void of grit and passion since the Gruden-era, or the Punk-era if you are a follower of this page. Hoping, no, praying, that this becomes a rallying point for a team in need of a purpose, or at least, something to pull them together for any type of cohesion.

.

There is nothing wrong with a dust-up in training camp from time to time, although it is usually on the playing field between sweaty men wearing helmets and pads. Boys will be boys sometimes and Raiders will be Raiders.

.

The NFL league office is going to investigate but the feeling here is they should stick to reinstated dog-killers and making sure guy's socks are at the correct height levels during games.

.

Leave the Raider situation where it belongs, an internal matter overseen by Mr. Davis and the Cable Guy.

.

For now, "Cable Bumaye"......................."Raiders Bumaye" to the AFC West.
