Raiders Release Hall, Cite Disparaging Remarks Against Team Owner

Thanks to insider information from a mole we've planted in the Raiders' locker room, we were able to obtain exclusive information regarding the events that led to the release of start cornerback DeAngelo Hall.

According to our mole, Hall was released for allegedly referring to team owner Al Davis as the "Emperor", the infamous leader of the Dark Side Bent Empire from the original Star Wars Trilogy.

Hall was heard to have repeatedly mumbled the phrase "Something, something dark side" whenever Davis opened his mouth during team meetings.

In one heated confrontation, Hall even threatened Davis saying "Don't ever let me catch you alone near this battle station's power core!"

DeAngelo Hall was acquired from the Falcons for a 2nd round draft pick during the offseason, and was given a huge contract.

Expectations for Hall were extremely high, as indicated after he boasted about making a "run over to Kessel's in less than twelve (par)secs."
