What the hell is that quote? First, it sounds like a soliloquoy off the peace pipe, and second, it's 2009.
Al Davis and Parcells are from the same school of thought. There is a method to their madness The difference is that Al is way out there and he doesn't know how to reel himself in Parcells would at least think about the consequences of what he is going to say. Al says shit to get under your skin Notre Dame players usually stay in school for the full 4 years.
Yea Al Davis hates black people from Notre dame. Than why did he take Rocket Ismail three years later from Notre dame. You won't see any civil rights group condemn AL Davis because the guy has done more than any owner in any sport, to give blacks a chance when it wasn't popular to. Learn the history of football because its obvious you don't know. I don 't have to defend AL Davis because his track record speak for itself. Threads just like this shows how much ignorance is on this board.
Yo Dude...check your private messages please Maybe Tim Brown & Al Davis didn't get along fine...but I really don't think Al Davis has hate not only for ND but any black person, period. & yes, I am BLACK. Way too many good players played for the Raiders. The Uniform speaks for itself
Tim Brown has back pedaled fast off his comments. Tim Brown back pedaling! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.nbcbayarea.com/sports/foo...vis-Story.html Tim Brown was unstoppable on the Raiders' offense for 16 seasons, but Thursday he was playing defense. Last week, Brown made the surprising claim in an interview still available on line with 680 The Fan in Atlanta that that Raider owner Al Davis "hated African-American athletes from Notre Dame". But today he backtracked on that statement with the kind of speed that would make the Raiders want to draft a guy sixth overall. Brown's remark was part of a longer anecdote about his first time meeting Al Davis, as a new Raider in the late 1980's. "Meeting Al (Davis) was pretty unique," Brown said in the interview. "I found out five or ten minutes after my first practice there that he hated African-American athletes from Notre Dame. And they literally told me that. They literally told me that because we?re known for using our education more than our athletic ability that he thought that I would be one of these guys that would basically take the money and run. I don?t know if that was a ploy to get me amped up, but it certainly worked." The response to this story has left Brown feeling more awkward than a Dirk Nowitzki wedding engangement party. Raider Nation is particularly not pleased, and at the Silver & Black Pride blog they're now referring to Brown as "that alligator short arming on 3rd down no heart Tim Brown." That remark would indicate Brown may have squandered some goodwill. That's why Brown is in damage control mode today, issuing a clarifying statement to SportsRadioInterviews.com. "I would like to give some face value to my recent comments on a radio interview," Brown said in a statement. "If you read the statement carefully, you will see it says ?they said?, not Al Davis said. Early in my career , Al Davis and I may have had some contentious years , but none centered around him being racist." First off, this is an offseason, slow-news kind of story. If this were autumn and they had Denver coming in Sunday, or if Janikowski had just got popped bribing a cop during an all-night bender, this tempest wouldn't have made it out of the teapot. Second off, consider Davis' history with African-Americans in his organization. The ever-hilarious Mighty MJD rightly observes on his Shutdown Corner blog that one "should note Al Davis's history in racial hiring practices. He hired Tom Flores, the NFL's first Latino head coach. He hired Art Shell, the first African-American head coach in the NFL's modern era. He drafted Eldridge ****ey, the first African-American quarterback taken in the first round by any NFL or AFL team. Al Davis is pretty well-respected across the board when it comes to making racial progress in the NFL." Third off, consider that Davis actually did draft Brown, despite this alleged bias. And freaking sixth overall at that! The guys at ProFootballTalk.com did actually crunch the numbers, and found the Raiders have in fact not pursued many African-American Fighting Irish in the draft. Since drafting Brown, they've drafted only Raghib Ismail in 1991. But the premise that a franchise avoids players of color only from a certain given university is a difficult negative to prove. After all, the 49ers have drafted only one African-American out of Notre Dame in the last ten NFL Drafts. But no one's insinuating they're racist. Let's just hope this is all a misquote, bad information being given to Brown, or an exaggerated retelling of some old motivational ploy. I'm all in favor of some healthy anti-Notre Dame bias, but this variety would be bizarre and creepy.
Na Than how can I educate alot of Jet posters. Are you a little touchy after the article you posted, was proved to be worthless. See the Tim Brown backpedaling article i provided. I would advise you to do a little more research of AL Davis, before you post something that makes you look foolish .
You are such a sad little man. What's wrong, mommy and daddy not giving you any attention at home so you have to come on here and make retarded comments to get noticed? I'm sure you've figured out by now that you're a joke to us. The only reason someone would keep coming back and taking the abuse is for the attention. You're just fucking pathetic.
Im looking for attention. I didn't post the BS article slamming AL davis on racial issues. IF anyone knows Al davis history on racial equality, (been the leading owner in any sport with regards to this) you wouldn't be so foolish to post something this dumb. So whose looking for attention greenmachine?????? Again you don't like my opinion, that fine don't respond. Even you can figure that out. Btw I started these topics. 1. Al Davis only likes stupid black people. GreenMachine 2. Typical Raiders News. SyracuseJet 3Awesome Raiders Stuff -FriendlyGiantsFan Listen you can't take the heat stay out of raiderjeaux house.
Retardjoe, this is the only thing you posted that's worth quoting. Again, you're a fucking joke. Too bad your father didn't pull out faster or your parents didn't smother you in your sleep as a child when they had the chance.
It is quite difficult to educate people on a forum (where the primary media is WRITTEN WORD) when you have the spelling and grammar skills of an eight year-old. For example when you said "Na Than how can I educate a lot of Jet posters."; First: "Na" is not a word. It is however the symbol on the periodic table for Sodium. Second: "Than" is a word used for comparisons. i.e. "I am smarter than you". The word you should have used was "then". You also capitalized the first letter of "than" which is incorrect in that context. Third: "Alot" is actually not a word. The phrase you were looking for was "a lot". Fourth: Your punctuation was also incorrect. You were attempting to ask a question, but instead ended it with a period. The correct punctuation was a question mark (it looks like this "?"). Do you understand? A better sentence would have been; "If I were to go away, I would be unable to educate a lot of posters who support the New York Jets." Or even; "How could I educate posters who are Jets' fans if I were no longer here?" I can tolerate occasional spelling errors (although it is quite asinine due to the fact that vBulletin supports spell check), grammar errors, and internet slang as much as the next person. On the other hand, every post you make is an eye-sore (before even looking at the actual content). If you're going to talk about educating anyone, you might want to look at http://www.hookedonphonics.com/ (Although, you may want to ask a parent for help first. It may be a little too challenging for you to navigate the page and order a product). Let me put this in terms you are able to comprehend: U know tawk good.
I think a few people in the thread did not bother to click the link and just thought you were making racist comments.
