I thought this article was funny:
Lane Kiffin told the Buffalo media by conference call Wednesday he hasn’t spoken to Al Davis in two weeks and made light of all the attention being paid to his job status.
A Buffalo writer remarked he was surprised Kiffin even did the conference call.
“How about when you go for a jog yesterday and you fell like it’s paparazzi because the TV cameras are following you and they’re asking you if you’re still the coach of the Raiders,” Kiffin said. “I felt like Brad Pitt. Anyways, I don’t let it affect me because I can’t do anything about it. I don’t have the power to make the decision whether I’ll be here, so why worry about it.”
When asked about his last contact with Davis, Kiffin said, “No I have not had communication with him over the last two weeks. All I know is what people tell me or what’s in the paper that front office people have informed them that he’s making a decision whenever it’s coming, all the different things that come across each day. As crazy as it sounds, I know as much as you guys know.”
Meanwhile, after writers participated in conference calls with Buffalo coach Dick Jauron and Trent Edwards, a printed copy of an ESPN.com Web column by Mark Kreidler critical of Kiffin was made available, courtesy of the club’s media relations department.
You can’t make this stuff up.
