According to Tim Brown, that's exactly what Al Davis did. Brown was interviewed on WCNN in Atlanta, and here's what he had to say about the first time he met Al. “Meeting Al (Davis) was pretty unique. 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.” Source: Yahoo Sports
So in other words, if the player was dumb as a rock, but somehow ended up making it through, it's ok?
maybe he just hates notre dame people in general and with the exception of timmy i have no problem with that
Al Davis doesn't care about your skin color or which college you attended. If you can run a 4.20 40, he'll love you.
What. Quinn is terrible, the guy hasnt done anything in the NFL he cant even beat out Derrick Anderson. Also the guy is a cat, wasnt he out for the year with a toe or pinky injury or some crap.
Brown is a little incorrect on his assessment of Big Al. Davis hates African-American, Notre Dame Players that are slow. The fast Arican-American that play at Notre Dame are okay.
i am 100% positive that Al hates black running backs who went to USC and whose first names rhyme with Marcus and last names rhyme with Allen........................ oh, and he also hates Mike Shanahan.
Al Davis' white secretary runs a 4.5. Pretty fast for a secretary. The whole thing is silly. Why bother coming out with these comments now?
