Raiders’ letter to Seymour gets lost in the mail
Al Davis may be losing his mind faster than Darrius Heyward-Bey runs the 40. Instead of sending a five-day letter to report to disgruntled former Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour, the Raiders’ owner sent it to us! We felt obligated to share it, so feel free to add this to your conflicting stories, professional reporters. This is completely legitimate. Honest.
Dear Richard,
If you don’t get your run-stuffing ass to Oakland in five days, I will personally send Tom Cable to your city to put you in a sleeper hold until you pass out, pack you in an oversized bag, and put you on the next non-stop out of Logan. Don’t test me, Richard.
Yours,
Al Davis
