Tim Brown is getting up there in age so I’m going to try to give him a pass on this one. Yesterday we reported that Brown accused his former Raiders coach Bill Callahan of sabotaging Super Bowl 37.
Today on the The Dan Patrick Show, Brown sort of got amnesia, because via Pro Football Talk, Brown says he never stated that Callahan sabotaged the Super Bowl.
“I have never said that he sabotaged the game,” Brown said Wednesday morning on theDan Patrick Show. “All I’m saying is, all I was saying after the game was, you know, the question was asked about this situation, but no one ever said — and I said on the radio show last Saturday night — that’s something that could never be proven. We can’t go inside the mind of Bill Callahan and say, ‘Oh, yeah, we knew exactly what he was thinking, what he was trying to do.’ All I’m saying is, the question was asked. But of course the media hears ‘sabotage’ and ‘Bill Callahan’ and ‘throwing the football game,’ now they’re saying ‘Throwing the football game’ and that terminology was never used. But that wasn’t the intent.”
Ok I’m confused, but like I said I’m going to give Brown the benefit of the doubt. I went back and look at the excerpts we have. It seems like in the first sentence of his radio interview, Brown implied via himself and other teammates that Callahan indeed sabotaged the game. you be the judge.
So not only did Brown imply sabotage, but he also implied that his head coach hated the organization that he worked for so much that he might consider tanking a game.
