Corporate smack of the Day

"Lane Kiffin is a flat-out liar. He lied to the team, he lied to the fans, and he lied to the media. He will try to destroy that university like he tried to destroy the Raiders, and will eventually clash with (Pat) Summitt and (Bruce) Pearl. Other than that, the Raiders can say nothing further."

(Al, there is nothing else you would like to get off your chest, regarding Mr. Kiffin?)

That from Lane Kiffin’s former NFL employer. Lane is now the coach of the Tennessee Volunteers and, to date, has racked up no less than 5 secondary violations (so, he and the Chargers defensive backfield have something in common already) and has seen fit to run some excellent smack of his own with regard to a couple of conference rivals without having even coached a single game. Have we mentioned how much we are looking forward to the start of this particular college football season?

Anyway, ESPN’s Outside the Lines' cameras were on hand while doing a segment on Kiffin’s adventurous start at Rocky Top and caught him violating another recruiting rule: talking to a recruit in front of media cameras. Get more of this and the actual ESPN OTL feature, here.
