Sounds like sour grapes on Brad Johnson’s part. Why would the starting QB in the week before the Superbowl know exactly what is going on during the defensive practices?

Comments from the defense after the Superbowl indicate that Gruden had taught them the Raider audibles and demonstrated Gannon’s tendencies. For example, when Gannon audibled to a “Sluggo”, the defenders were able to jump those routes and put points on the board.

Knowing the audibles combined with an incredible pass rush accounted for a historic victory.

@Ian P….yes! His passion for the fans was amazing! Shows how important the crowd is and how they’re more than just background noise. These players really appreciate the fans. I remember hearing Mike Williams being asked if he got tired of fans asking for his autograph. He replied “Are you kidding? I am humbled they want MY signature. I love the fans and will always be one.”

You are THE BOMB for linking these interviews. I haven’t been able to listen to 98.7 for a few days now and would have totally missed these gems. THANKS JOE!

I am shocked that a pro football coach would have a big ego………unheard of.

Always liked good ole’ boy Brad!
Gruden and his ego will always be wlecome here. I think its funny how he knew thier player tendacies and thier….er his offense.
Not the least bit surprising about the Keyshawn quote and story. No wonder Gruden and he didn’t get a long. One lacking passion, focus and commitment, while the other did not!

Between the Sapp interview and the Joey J interview yesterday, what really stands out to me is how much these guys really, really love the fans and this city, and how much they appreciate everything WE do. Both men expressed how much they appreciate our support. That’s nice to hear. It’s nice to think that even with all the entertainment they provide to us on Sundays, that we are giving a little something back to them too.

Maybe we are the best fans in the NFL. Warren Sapp certainly thinks so.

What a great interview with Sapp. Really opened my eyes to how much he loved this game of football, the team and most of all, the men he played with. The part about JJ really choked me up. Really good stuff. Thanks for posting the link Joe.

Wait… So you are saying Gruden is an ego maniac?
