Tom Cable 20 years Ago


The head coach of the struggling Oakland Raiders is having more problems off the field then on. After starting the season with allegations of him punching his assistant coach Randy Hanson and breaking his jaw. Not to mention the star of another dismal season(2-6). Now Tom Cable doesn't only have to deal with the inability of JaMarcus Russell's passing game. He now has to deal with the inability to keep his personal life private. Two woman came forth to talk about how Tom Cable abused them years ago. One of him was his wife Sandy Cable and the other was a girlfriend by the name of Marie Lutz. Cable's wife Sandy said she was abused over twenty years ago and Tom acknowledged that he did. He told reporters,"I became aware that my wife Sandy had committed adultery. I became very angry and slapped her with an open hand. What I did was wrong and I have regretted and felt sorrow about that moment ever since". On the other hand his ex-girlfriend Marie said that Tom hit her between three and four times. She also brought up a story where Tom had another woman in his house and she demanded to meet her. That's when Tom grabbed her by her arm and pushed her outside of his door. Tom Cable said that Marie came over uninvited and he was cleared of all charges against him by the proper authorities. Look why does the NFL need to investigate these problems. For one they were twenty years ago and two he wasn't even apart of the NFL when these things happened. He was cleared of all charges. His wife didn't press any charges back then and why bring it up now. This has much a do about nothing. So they say they want to bring up that he has a history of violence. Of course he does he played football. They all have a history of violence. I used to have a thing I called post season aggression. After the football season was over I still needed that physical contact. I'm not saying i condone abusing a women, but I am saying these are incidents from his past that has know leverage on what's happening now. The police already said about the confrontation with Hanson that it was all a misunderstanding. We just need to understand that we all have done things in our past that we aren't proud of. If he learned from those altercations and is a better man for it good, but if another incident comes up that he was physically harming to anyone put him in anger management classes and have take a permanent or temporary leave of absence. Tom please stay out of trouble.
