Sports The 5 Most Memorable Coach Assaults

Raiders coach Tom Cable lets assistant Randy Hanson assist him as a punching bag.

If football coaches could draw roughing penalties, Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable might have just had a flag thrown his way. Based on Napa police reports and snitches, the massive former NFL offensive lineman got pissed off at his assistant Randy Hanson and punched him in the face on the fifth of August, sending him to the hospital with a jaw injury. Cable and the Raiders have denied this, and other snitches now say that indeed no punches were thrown—Cable just pulled a chair out from under Hanson, causing him to break a facial bone when his cheek hit a filing cabinet. Much better.

Of course, Cable isn’t the first coach to flip out on a fellow coach or assistant. Oftentimes it happens behind closed doors, but some classic outbursts have been captured on film and photograph. Complex hits you square in the nose with some of the more memorable ones. BOOM! POW!

Politics & Crime When Modern Day Pirates Attack!

When one thinks of pirates, the first image that comes to mind is probably a group of sword wielding homo-erotically dressed dudes sailing the seas on a rickety ship, binge drinking before they commandeer other vessels. If that’s true, you need to get that Hollywood shit outta ya head. Pirates aren’t some vestige of past centuries, they’re still around, wrecking havoc like it was the 1700s. Only this time, there’s no gold and swords, just machine guns and oil.

On Monday, while carrying $100 million worth of oil and a full crew, a Saudi Arabian tanker named the Sirius Star was captured off the coast of Kenya and is currently being held for ransom by a group of Somali pirates. The incident marks the biggest ship to ever be hijacked by pirates. While this is one of the most startling high seas attacks we’ve seen, it isn’t the craziest. Check some other examples of vicious pirate attacks below…
