…on one of his assistant’s faces. And broken a bone while landing there. Or something. Cable is denying throwing a punch, but may have pushed his assistant out of a chair during an altercation and then the broken bone occurred.

In any event, stay classy, you Oakland Raiders. The details:

Napa police Monday confirmed that Hanson was hospitalized after an assault from another staff member at training camp. And the alleged attacker was Cable, according to one team source and one league source with ties to the coaching staff, both speaking on the condition of anonymity. Raiders players and coaches historically have relished the role of rebel mastered by longtime ownerAl Davis. This latest chapter in the Raiders’ book comes as the team prepares to face its cross-bay rival, the 49ers, on Saturday in a preseason game. Both teams are looking to improve on a recent string of lousy seasons.

If Cable did indeed land the blow on Hanson’s jaw, he wasn’t saying when meeting with reporters after practice Monday in Napa. “Yeah, I can address it,” Cable said. Asked if he was involved in the Aug. 5 incident, Cable repeated his previous quote verbatim. Asked a third time over the loud objections of a team official, Cable said, “I’m not going to comment on that. No comment.”

And in Georgetown, Kentucky, at the relatively boring Bengals training camp, the Hard Knocks producers engage in a prolonged moment of facepalm.
