ALAMEDA — Having spent nine years with ESPN, Jon Gruden knows a storyline.
Before the Raiders got on a plane and left Winnipeg late Thursday night following a 22-21 exhibition win over the Green Bay Packers, Gruden took minor exception to a question about the latest “distraction” of playing out of the country on an 80-yard field.
“There’s not as many distractions here as you think or anybody thinks,” Gruden told reporters. “Antonio Brown is doing fine. We’ve got a good, young football team. We might have five undrafted free agent players make the team. That’s the story most people are missing.
