Obviously NOW isn't aware that the NFL welcomes psychopaths and sociopaths like Vick and Cable. No matter how many women he's hurt, he deserves a second chance, right Eagles fans?
NFL: NOW wants Raiders to suspend Cable
The National Organization for Women says Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable should be suspended while the team investigates allegations he has a history of violent behavior toward women.
NOW president Terry O'Neill said in a statement that the Raiders were "properly" investigating charges made by Cable's first wife, Sandy Cable, and former girlfriend, Marie Lutz, that the coach physically abused them at various times during their relationships.
O'Neill said Cable's admission to striking his first wife means he has not been the "role model" he should be. She said he should resign and seek help. Cable has acknowledged striking his first wife with an open hand more than 20 years ago and says that's the only time he has ever touched a woman inappropriately.
The NOW statement was first reported by USA Today.
Cowboys. Receiver Roy Williams has said he is frustrated. He can't get on the same page with Tony Romo, and doesn't know why. He's much happier simply winning in sunny Dallas than he was losing in snowy Detroit.
Williams backpedaled yesterday, a day after suggesting Romo's throws are accurate to Miles Austin and all over the place to him.
Cowboys coach Wade Phillips made a similar observation Monday, but the reaction to Williams' saying it raised the specter of Terrell Owens. Dallas dumped Owens and his demanding demeanor during the off-season after widespread reports of locker-room disharmony last year.
"I didn't complain that I didn't get the ball," Williams said. "All I said was that, when it comes to me, it's not there. I'm not saying it can't be fixed, because that's what we do every day. I'm not a T.O., or I'm not trying to be a T.O."
Redskins. Redskins defensive coordinator Greg Blache broke his media silence to defend the man who pays his salary, saying "Enough's enough" when it comes to criticism of owner Dan Snyder.
Blache said he was moved to speak after reading comments made by Hall of Fame running back John Riggins, who called Snyder a "bad guy" whose "heart is dark" in an interview for Showtime's Inside the NFL.
"That's totally, totally untrue," Blache said. "And the problem is the fans don't get to know Mr. Snyder like we do, and so they get an impression of things that are written and things people say."
Seahawks. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck fully participated in practice yesterday, a day after sitting out to give his broken ribs a rest. Hasselbeck said after yesterday's practice that he felt like he felt at the same point a week ago. The Seahawks will host Detroit on Sunday.
Jaguars. The Jaguars have failed to sell out a home game for the fourth time this season. Sunday's game against Kansas City (1-6) will not be televised in Jacksonville or in secondary markets that include Gainesville, Daytona Beach, Orlando, and Savannah, Ga. The Jaguars (3-4) set a franchise low for attendance (42,088) in their last home game, Oct. 18 against St. Louis. This one could break the mark.
Elsewhere. A jury has convicted a man of attempted murder in the shooting of former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Richard Collier. The six-person jury deliberated 2 hours, 45 minutes before returning its verdict against Tyrone Hartsfield, 33, at the end of a nine-day trial. Hartsfield faces up to life in prison.
