I guess we'll count this one for next week... Lane Kiffin, the douchiest person in maybe the entire known history of the world, ended his post practice press conference after a grand total of 29 seconds like a petulant child. Here's the video:

<object width="640" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VFTJ_SdXm4g?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VFTJ_SdXm4g?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Why did he do it? Because he was being asked a question about a player's participation in practice. Can't make this **** up.

So rude. I hate this guy a little more every day and I thought I had maxed out my hate for him a long time ago.

It only gets better.... here is the reporter who asked him the innocuous question commenting on it...

Wouldn't it be great if UCLA supplanted USC and the media was able to completely turn on him because they had another brand to cover? One can dream....

I just like how at the 22 second marl his face changes and he takes a breath. You would swear someone called his girl a name the way he reacted.

I usually only read the comments under an ESPN story to get angry at the world (read: watch SEC trolls try and make arguments about how going to class doesn't matter). I figured the latest Kiffinism would be a good read... I was right. Here is one of my favorites, "Kiffin has earned the right to be jerk. He is an extremely successful head coach. With all the Super Bowl victories he got in Oakland and BCS titles he has won with Tennessee and USC, who can argue with the guy?"

Apparently Bill King called him a whiny, sniffling bitch and a punk. If somehow he loses 3+ games this year.... it's hot seat time.

I don't think he'll be in the hot seat; he's proven to be the slimy piece of **** that SC seems to covet.

Kiffin said he would regularly assign three graduate assistants to scour the Internet for any news about opponents that would be helpful in game-planning. Yet he said the flow from the traditionally open schools in the conference was slowly drying up.

Hey, USC grad assistants, if you're reading this I'm flicking off the monitor right now.

A little history lesson. Al Davis' Letter to Lane Kiffin, circa 2008.

Text of letter Al Davis said he gave to Lane Kiffin - USATODAY.com

I realized when I hired you that you were young and inexperienced and that there would be a learning process for you. Your mistakes on player personnel and coaches were overlooked based on our patience with you. But I never dreamt that you would be untruthful in statements to the press as well as on so many other issues. Your actions are those of a coach looking to makes (sic) excuses for not winning, rather than a coach focused on winning.

Al Davis is/was the butt of jokes and comments over this letter and press conference when he fired Kiffin, and rightfully so (he did ramble on and on). However, some of the things the Godfather said about Lane Kiffin were laser-accurate, especially stuff said about Kiffin's character.

The press conference was too easy to make fun of, but Al did get off a couple good-ones on the biggest scumbag in college football, and the ol' man was right.

I have to admit that I grew considering Al Davis a complete joke. I knew the history of all he accomplished in football, but honestly I had a hard time really accepting or believing it because of how much of a clown I viewed him as.

In fact, I thought so little of Davis that I actually rooted for Kiffin when he went to Tennessee because I thought that Davis was out of his mind and therefore Kiffin probably had gotten screwed. It didn't take me long after that to see Kiffin for what he is, but I never really reconsidered my opinion about skeletor. Maybe that is something worth revisiting.

How does Maria Shriver play into all this???
