    That would come as a bit of a surprise to my daughter.

    And there you go again, covering up your failures in personal attacks.

    So, that Bill Callahan was quite a Super Bowl coach, huh?

    Oakland had to be doing something right that season. They did make the Super Bowl.

    I just think Callahan probably was not smart enough to change the offense and audibles enough so that Gruden's defense did not know where the ball was going on every play.

    As Gruden said, "Brooks is going to the HOF jumping hot routes," and that's what they did all day long against the Raiders.



    Those are picks because the defenders knew where the ball was going before Gannon knew where it was going.

    LTL posted something about this, too. I, for one, am just shocked that Brown is now backing away this foolishness. I really am. Never though anybody stupid enough to toss it out there in the first place would ever come around.

    If I am playing psychoanalyst for a minute, I am theorizing Brown is doing this BECAUSE he knows he isn't getting in, and he can blame it on this and say it isn't that he wasn't good enough, it's that the NFL's media wing wants to punish a truth-teller. It is a weird theory, I grant, but not any more weird than the idea that a coach would lose the Super Bowl on purpose.

    I'd never read a Doyel column until yesterday, but his take on Brown was really good.

    Blue font?

    But, yeah, seemed like one of those things that was tossed up there to see if it sticks.
