Gruden addressed reporters on Friday and said that he was happy to see Brown back after he missed Thursday's practice.

"Antonio's back today. We're really excited about that and ready to move on," Gruden said. "He's had a lot of time obviously to think about things and we're happy to have him back."

Well, he didn’t smack a woman or insult a homo.

That’s today’s NFL.

Jim Brown showed football talent, dealt with the racial issues as well as anyone at the time, went on to an effective movie career, in the footsteps of his antecedent Woody Strode.

Carlos Brown showed football talent, didn’t have any racial issues, went on to an effective TV/movie/political career (under his new name, Alan Autry).

I suspect this Brown could learn from the other two.

Yup, only reason he is playing is someone got through his ego crusted brain that no play and he forfeits his signing bonus of $30 million.

My best guess, he lasts two games before he either becomes such a distraction he is benched or gets into a fight with the coach.

Hope the Broncos win this one.

I used to like AB when he was with the Steelers but he’s let his fame get the best of him. Glad he’s no longer with my team.

I always liked and respected Jon Gruden ever since he took the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Super Bowl...

He has dropped a few notches in my estimation...

He’s just another wanna be thug that works for a company that encourages it. And I don’t care if he plays with himself, I haven’t watched a game in years and don’t care whether they show up or not. The stepped on me, I won’t forget it. And they don’t care they hurt and disrespected real heros trying to force their respect they obviously didn’t earn. Cowards!!!!

“Gruden is like a Bush Republican.”

His conservative compassion ain’t gonna get them to the Super Bowl.

Well, it’s over — Brown got fined another $200K+, had his $30M guarantees voided, and then he demanded his release. The Raiders have obliged. Bye, AB.
