Rice and Brown were a DEADLY receiver tandem, perhaps the best pairing in NFL history. Who in their right mind would even think of 'moving on from a pair of road rockets like them?
That ending. Man I miss Greg Popa's voice. Also, many forget, people often laughed at, and criticized, those late 90's/early 2000's Raider teams calling us a retirement home for former mvps/ex-probowlers/SB Champs that no one wanted. We had the oldest roster in the NFL back then. They laugh; we just kept winning. Then came all the "I told you so" after our shellacking in the superbowl. Such a shame they never got a ring for all they accomplished. Still, if not for so many pick 6's thrown and failed 2pt conversions it was virtually a tie game. Half of the team showing up drunk/hungover, perhaps, hurt us the most.
I miss Greg Papa too.. I used to turn the television down to listen to Greg Papa while watching the games.. It hurt my soul he went to become the 49ers announcer
As I have said many times, Al Davis and Gruden needed each other so badly at that point in their careers. Shame Al blew it, but Gruden also had a huge ego that was his undoing - he needed someone like Al to check him.
Al Davis ego kept him from winning in the 2000’s. He thought Gruden was getting too big too famous due to the Raiders marketing team putting Gruden on a billboard in Oakland. Al hated anyone who was being looked at as being bigger than the “shield”. Great concept except Al was the shield in his mind and nobody was going to be bigger than him.
See my dad had said years ago that al was calling a lot of the shots and he even said why bother hiring coordinators and coaches if you going to constantly control what the people you’ve hired to do
jon gruden was a true raider... he bleeds raiders... his 2021 team was en rout to success... damn the hit job destroyed everything... and now a stupid front office destroyed all the talents he put together... raiders will be south for next decade...
Tb literally said al davis took him out in the redzone for fear of him wanting more cash and or wanting to get traded. He kept his stats low on purpose. So if they needed a td to win a game and they was in the redzone regardless tb wasnt on the field. Not sure if anybody followed what i was trying to say
Gruden was a racist, at least that’s what none of his black players say. 😂 The Davis family did a sick hit job on him with those emails. He’s gonna get paid
Al Davis was the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of OZ. No body going to be bigger than OZ. Why didn't Tim Brown tell Al Davis he wanted to be traded so he could be an MVP in the red zone? Al Davis had the greatest running backs in the NFL Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Marshawn Lynch, Napoleon Kaufman, Micheal Bush Clairance Davis, LaMount Jordan, Eric Dickerson, Darren McFadden, Tyrone Wheatley, Mark Van Egan, Marv Hubber, Steve Smith, Justin Fargus, did I miss anyone? Al Davis is going to run the football in the red zone. I hate when ole athletes complaint on an ole Al Davis years. John Madden and his players got the job done fine with a young Al Davis.
Tim Brown was awesome one of my favorite Raiders

He’s a legend

Miss Gruden at times
Usually game time

Watching those Tim Brown clips are mind-blowing! 🤯

Damn watching this comes in full circle, Al Davis screwed us in the end & now Mark Davis screwed us. Go Raiders.
😬
SAD.
@@travischappellclips screw mark Davis it’s all for entertainment and $$$$
Jon Gruden was an awesome coach

I was probably the biggest Tim Brown fan ever.. I knew Davis was evil but this just takes it to a new level..
…er…this is literally like 90% of sports owners. Why are you shocked..?
See my dad had said years ago that al was calling a lot of the shots and he even said why bother hiring coordinators and coaches if you going to constantly control what the people you’ve hired to do
It was kinda bad ass and insane he would literally call plays
@@BobaFatt182how is that good..? Are you being sarcastic..? He & Reinsbarf are literally skum
@@TheNinthHeart Bless Al Davis Soul it’s very rare to have actual football guys owning teams nowadays they are owned by greedy mafia types
@@TheNinthHeart Al Davis was no scumbag he stood up for his guys like a man, and he challenged the NFL like a maverick
And that's why the NFLPA needed a stronger CBA. The owners were gonna take as much advantage of them as they could. Al Davis wasn't the only one.
RIP Al Davis. But he was out of his mind.
rip..?
jon gruden was a true raider... he bleeds raiders... his 2021 team was en rout to success... damn the hit job destroyed everything... and now a stupid front office destroyed all the talents he put together... raiders will be south for next decade...
Man

Interesting to think about for sure!
Jon gurden a Myth Legend Coach Most hated in the nfl.
Loved hearing Tim’s stories about him!
Absolute Raider 100% 🖤

@@travischappellclipsthis is literally all sports
@@dookiestain2086uhh. Kay. And..? This is quite literally 90% of pro sports owners, everyone knows that. It’s a business, not a playground
Did the same shit to Marcus Allen smh
Gruden was a racist, at least that’s what none of his black players say. 😂

No it was Roger Goodell did a hit job not the Davis family. Snyder did not get in any trouble but Gruden did.
