Ice Cube + ESPiN =

STRAIGHT OUTTA LA! Cube is teaming up with ESPN or as I like to call them ESPiN, to direct a documentary on my favorite football team the Oakland Raiders:

“In 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected president, few white kids were listening to Rap and I was an 11-year-old kid in South Central Los Angeles,” said Cube via statement regarding the documentary. “I was into sports and watched as many games as I could on TV—the Lakers, USC Football, UCLA, but I hadn’t developed a connection to any particular football team. But that fall, something clicked as I watched the Oakland Raiders.”

Release date not available...

Cable, Bumaye, Cable, Bumaye!!!!

The league-owned NFL Network reported Hanson told police he had been struck by another member of the team's coaching staff. A report by the Web site FanHouse indicated Cable had punched Hanson in the jaw.

Cable declined to comment during a news conference Monday, calling it an "internal" issue, but made his denial to ESPN.

Former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah wrote on his Twitter account that "no punches were thrown" but "Cable flipped Hanson's chair, and Hanson hit his face on a cabinet."

Jeremiah, writing his information came from "a very reliable source," indicated the incident occurred when Raiders defensive coordinator John Marshall and Hanson "were in a heated discussion, and Hanson got pretty nasty. Cable took exception and went off on Hanson."

Raiders players, while they were doing stretching exercises before Monday's practice, reportedly chanted, "Cable, bumaye. Cable, bumaye," as Cable walked nearby. That's a reference to the chant by fans in Zaire in support of Muhammad Ali at his famous "Rumble in the Jungle" fight against George Foreman in 1974.

Seen @ The Washington Post

However, the National Football Post is describing a different scene:

In the meeting among coaches that included Cable, defensive coordinator John Marshall, defensive backs coach Lionel Washington and assistant defensive backs coach Willie Brown, Cable allegedly came at Hanson from behind as he was verbally contesting what Marshall had said.

According to the source, Cable knocked Hanson out of his chair and up against the wall and into a cabinet. Cable and Hanson fell to the floor, where Hanson was choked, the source said, and Cable was pulled off Hanson by the other men before Cable went after Hanson again.

“Cable said, ‘I am going to kill you, I am going to kill you,’ as he was choking him,’’ according to the source, who also said furniture in the room was damaged.

“This is what I’ve been told and what I’ve heard,” Papa said on the air. “They worked out something where they had it down to about a three-month jail term with actually only two months served and about 1,500 hours of community service. And I think his lawyers felt that they had a pretty good deal. He doesn’t want to go to jail at all. He shot down the deal. . . . He does not want to go to jail at all. So now coming up in another couple of weeks we’re gonna find out what’s gonna happen. But my guess is that the city of New York is not gonna back off any kind of jail time.

“Evidently, he’s gonna have to go to Ryker’s [sic] Island,” Papa added. “He’s deathly afraid of going. . . . [I]f he would have just taken the deal when it originally was offered it would all be over with by now. But supposedly the community service hours and the jail time are not appealing to him. He does not understand that he is not in any kind of position of leverage. He has no leverage. He — not his representatives — he thinks he has leverage.”

Fast Forward to today, August 20th, 2009:

Plaxico Burress, the former Giants receiver, pleaded guilty on Thursday morning to criminal possession of a weapon, in a deal with Manhattan prosecutors that will send him to prison for two years.

Justice Michael H. Melkonian of State Supreme Court accepted the guilty plea. Under the plea agreement, along with the two-year prison sentence, Mr. Burress, 31, is to be sentenced on Sept. 22 to two years of post-release supervision. With good behavior, he will be eligible for release after slightly more than 20 months.

YOU GKTFO!!! Cable Allegedly Chin Checks Asst Coach

"Nothing happened," Cable told a large swarm of reporters Tuesday when asked about it following a joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers. "Listen, you want to talk about this football team and the players on this football team, I'll talk all day. Otherwise, I'm not getting into it."

A report filed with the Napa Police Department describes an unnamed 41-year-old Raiders assistant coach being treated at the Queen of the Valley Hospital for a jaw injury, which the victim alleges was caused by an unidentified member of the Raiders coaching staff on Aug. 5.

AOL Fanhouse reported that Cable was the coach who caused the injury.

Cable also declined to comment on the NFL investigation.
