ASHBURN, Va. -- Sunday routines were the same and often produced one result: torture. At least, that is, during the three hours Jon Gruden would watch his brother Jay’s Washington Redskins. The outcome of the game dictated his mood.
And it was obvious to the Monday Night Football crew, especially when they’d ride the bus on Sunday night to meet with the visiting coach for their game the next evening. A quick glance at Jon Gruden would let them know if the Redskins -- or the Cincinnati Bengals, when Jay was an offensive coordinator there -- had won or lost that day.
