Taken from Last years Raiders Jet game...
http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/raiders/archives/016288.html?storylink=lingospot
The Raiders racked up 14 penalties in their 16-13 win in overtime against the New York Jets on Sunday.
But that doesn't mean there weren't some funny stories behind the flags.
Defensive end Jay Richardson was called twice for lining up offsides on the Jets' first drive.
He said his old teammate at Ohio State, Nick Mangold, made those penalties happen.
"That's not coach Cable's fault, man," Richardson said. "...I had really no idea that what I was doing wrong. Come to find out that Mangold, 74, the center, he would get in his stance, set (the football) out here, then put it out here before he snapped it. So he called it, and our coaches screaming from the sidelines, 'You can't call that (stuff)?' And the ref is like 'Yeah, we'll look for it,' and I guess he stopped doing it. But he got Kalimba (Edwards) and I think Gerard (Warren) too on that."
Apparently this wasn't the first time Richardson had seen Mangold pull that one.
"He was doing it at school," he said of Mangold. "Should have known."
