20921 <p>In a different time, <strong>Tom Cable</strong> would have been a perfect fit for the Oakland Raiders. Heck, maybe he's the perfect fit for a once proud franchise. The allegations of Cable's abuse both at work and at home, if true are disturbing and criminal. I'm just wondering... Where is&nbsp;the <strong>NFL</strong>? Doesn't it's personal conduct policy apply to all employees? Including coaches? At the very least, their lack of action or investigation and action into Cable is a p-r blunder; at worst it's sets a double standard between players and coaches.&nbsp; I don't always agree with <strong><em>USA Today's </em>Christine Brennan's </strong>but in this case she's right on.</p> <p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/brennan/2009-11-04-tom-cable_N.htm">http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/brennan/2009-11-04-tom-cable_N.htm</a></p> <p><strong>Spikes Nails It</strong></p> <p>I've said before that the <strong>Florida Gators </strong>football program remind me of a little bit of the <strong>Duke University </strong>basketball program of the early 90's. Both are/were extremely succesful, and both are/were the most polarizing figures of their respective sports. Linebacker Brandon Spikes attempt to go all <em>Three Stooges </em>on Georgia's <strong>Washaun Ealey </strong>didn't win them any fans. <strong>Urban Meyer's </strong>punishment didn't either. Meyer decided to sit Spikes for a half Saturday against Vanderbilt. Spikes decided to make it the entire game. The linebacker's actions Saturday were disgusting, but his actions Wednesday evening&nbsp;were honorable. Meyer should have known better, and made the suspension longer. Coach's teach their players throughout the year, this time it was Meyer that was taught a lesson.</p> true 2009-11-05T03:32:15Z 97897 0 2009-11-05T03:32:15Z
