HENDERSON, Nev. -- Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden was a high school senior in South Bend, Indiana, on Jan. 4, 1981, his boyhood fandom of the Cleveland Browns long a thing of the past.
"When Paul Brown went to the Cincinnati Bengals, my dad became a Bengal fan, but I had a hard time with that so I became a Raider fan and a Houston Oiler fan," Gruden said this week.
