In Kiffin, Raiders Are Putting Young Face in Tough Job - NY Times
At 3 months old, Pressley Kiffin already looks to be in the market for silver makeup, metal spikes and a Darth Vader mask.

Her father, Lane Kiffin, visited the Oakland Raiders’ ticket office yesterday to buy seats for next season. Considering that Kiffin is the Raiders’ new head coach, he probably could have arranged for a luxury box.

But because Kiffin was getting tickets for his family, he wanted something more appropriate, in a section where his wife and two daughters could really feel comfortable.

“In the Black Hole,”
he said.

With that, Kiffin might have alarmed anyone at Child Protective Services, but he endeared himself to Raiders fans everywhere...
