The Facts:
After more than two months of off-the-record leaks and periodic comments from his lawyer, Raiders AC Randy Hanson sat down Friday with Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports to discuss the events that resulted in Hanson suffering a broken jaw on August 5. And here's the key allegation. "From my blindside, Tom Cable threw me from my chair and into a piece of furniture that a lamp sat upon," Hanson told Silver. "He was screaming, 'I'll f--king kill you! I'll f--king kill you!' And I have no reason to believe he wouldn't have killed me if they hadn't pulled him away. If my head would've hit a different way, I might be dead right now."

Silver also reports, citing an unnamed source close to the investigation, that the three Raiders assistants who were present for the alleged attack (defensive coordinator John Marshall, defensive backs coach Lionel Washington, and assistant defensive backs coach Willie Brown) have corroborated Hanson's version of the attack a development that could go a long way toward a conviction or guilty plea by Cable, who is in his first full year as head coach of the Raiders. ...
Silver's article is definitely worth the read -- but we'll remind you it's just one side of the story. Nobody has heard Cable's side yet.
