Tim Brown Shares Experience with Ex-Raiders' Coach Jon Gruden

[@towmater7081]

Tim Brown was awesome one of my favorite Raiders

[@robertdore9592]

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?

[@JoeHenkel]

Agreed!!

[@travismakesfriends]

He’s the man!

[@turneryoung905]

He’s still awesome!!!!

[@charlesrazo7246]

Damn shame all the years as a raider and no Super Bowl

[@tonygonzalez305]

Tim Brown is my favorite Raider of all time

[@travismakesfriends]

He’s a legend

That Rich Gannon touchdown game winning pass in ot to Tim Brown in the 2000 Raiders vs 49ers at San Francisco Candlestick Park always gets me pumped up.

[@roblockhart6104]

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.

[@travischappellclips]

Watching those Tim Brown clips are mind-blowing! 🤯

[@eljay3390]

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

[@kevinmejia1989]

Hands down, my favorite player ever!

[@Archelaus_v]

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.

[@tragedyturnedtriumph4180]

Damn watching this comes in full circle, Al Davis screwed us in the end & now Mark Davis screwed us. Go Raiders.

[@KP99]

I never knew this, but it now causes me to lose all respect for Al Davis, who I always liked growing up as a Raiders fan in the 90s. I used to always wonder why the team would never perform up to its potential, with 4 Heisman winners on the same team! (M. Allen, Bo, T. Brown, Plunkett). Now I know, and it's sickening because that was a fun team to watch, and it could've been even better!

[@mblunt00]

I was probably the biggest Tim Brown fan ever.. I knew Davis was evil but this just takes it to a new level..

[@TheNinthHeart]

…er…this is literally like 90% of sports owners. Why are you shocked..?

[@beefy45]

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.

[@busydem6161]

The way Allen was treated was a shame

[@GordonGartrell27]

I LOVE the Raiders. R.I.P. What's happening in Vegas can stay in Vegas because its not the Raiders. I wish Oakland could've done like Cleveland and retained the rights to the name, logo, and colors. Tim Brown is my favorite player of all time. What he says in the interview above makes me dislike (to put it very mildly) Al Davis even more than I already did. Wow. There are the Raider fans who worship Al Davis and say things like "Al Davis WAS the Raiders!" Then there are people like me who see reality and recognize that Davis drove the Raiders into the ground. Other than Stabler, which QB did Al draft and develop into a franchise player? After Ron Wolf left in 84, how did Al do in the draft (hint: took a kicker in the first round, took JamarcusRussell#1 overall, gave up two first round picks for an old Richard Seymour). What did Al do with a very successful Jon Gruden? Traded him. He moved the team twice in 13 years (and threatened to move it elsewhere). He essentially relegated Marcus Allen to playing fullback (if he was in the game at all). Madden, Flores, Gruden: a total of less than 20 years. Al was with the Raiders for nearly 50 years. Do the math. Davis ruined the Raiders. He was managing partner, not owner, let alone founder. The Raiders are much bigger than Al Davis, and without him they could've been much better. If you want to give him credit for the late 60s through early 80s, go for it. Just be consistent while looking at the Raiders after that. Maybe one day the Raiders will be back home in Oakland (they came back the first time 🤞).

[@vacairripatterson1504]

When they had Tim and Jerry they should have won rings.

[@timbradley944]

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.

[@N.O.XpressFF]

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

[@dookiestain2086]

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

Al's doghouse was brutal. Marcus Allen...Hearing Tim Brown saying this of course we know Al would do things unprofessionally. Gruden wasn't fired but he was traded. Then he beat us in the Super Bowl. That's called KARMA. Barrett Robbins going off the rails didn't help.

[@BryanRevis-x8t]

Gannon, Brown, Rice, Garner, porter was a machine. Couldn't stop that offense until Superbowl when trash Tampa bay knew the plays they were running SMH. If they played again following week with different plays and game plan Raiders would have smashed them in the mouth period. What a joke

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

[@berendoballbomber5977]

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.
