Tim Brown was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame last week, and the former Raiders receiver remembered meeting Al Davis for the first time. "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," Brown told WCNN in Atlanta. "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."
