… I guess there’ll be some interest in that. I’m 1,000% comfortable with anybody seeing it and judging that moment for what it is.

Posted by ESPN.com’s Bill Williamson

We will see what Al Davis really wants to with Lane Kiffin in the coming days. If Davis wants to take his twisting-in-the-wind head coach and fire him, this is a perfect situation.

The Raiders blew a fourth-quarter lead today and lost in Buffalo. Oakland is 1-2 heading into its home game, against San Diego next week and then the Raiders have a bye.
