Raiders legend Tim Brown names 1 rule he'd take from arena football and implement in NFL
Pro Football Hall of Famer Tim Brown played 16 years with the Raiders organization when the team was in Los Angeles and later in Oakland. He was a nine-time Pro Bowler and named to the All-1990s Team for his efforts with the Raiders and narrowly missed out on a Super Bowl title. Still, without the ring, he is one of the greatest receivers of all-time with 1,094 catches for 14,934 yards and 100 touchdowns. Brown now serves as the chairman and commissioner of The Arena League – an indoor football league featuring six teams and 7-on-7 football on the field. He appeared on "Up & Adams" on Tuesday and was asked which rule he would bring to the NFL from the arena game. "Getting rid of kickers," Brown told Adams. "We have no kicking in our league. Getting rid of kickers. I owned an (arena football team) years ago and kicking was the worst part of the game. Obviously, the poles were narrow, and it made it very difficult for those guys. "It really slowed the game down. It just wasn't what you want to see – you're talking about fast-paced games. Now we have a throw-off. These guys literally throw the ball and it's the best thing ever. I know it would never happen. I got a lot of friends who were kickers in the league. But it works. It makes for a very fun-paced, fast-paced, fun game and I think it's a beautiful thing." The NFL has certainly made a few rule changes around the kickoff, while the United Football League has taken away kicking when it comes to points after touchdowns. Any rule change in the league would need to be approved by 24 of the 32 owners. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Charles Woodson Faces Tom Brady Again, Now as Browns Owner
The Super Bowl isn't just a game—it's a giant convention, a who's who of football money, where the members of the sport's ownership class rub shoulders and make deals. During the run-up to last year's event in Las Vegas, Cipriani, the upscale Italian eatery at the Wynn Plaza, served as the backdrop for one such meeting, featuring one of the game's most accomplished players and an NFL power couple. Hall of Famer Charles Woodson dined with Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam, along with their daughter-heir Whitney and her husband JW Johnson. For nearly two hours, the Haslams and the Fox broadcaster discussed an array of topics, from football and team operations to Woodson's humble upbringing in Fremont, Ohio. Woodson, named Ohio's Mr. Football in 1994 after a stellar career at Ross High School, told the Haslams that even in his wildest dreams, he could never imagine being an owner of his hometown NFL team—the same storied franchise that drove him to become a pro football player. Advertisement More from Woodson left Las Vegas optimistic about the conversation. However, he still had no real indication that the Haslams would offer to sell him a stake in the Browns and let him become the franchise's first outside minority partner in their family ownership group. 'It could've gone either way from there,' Woodson said in a phone interview. 'It was a great meeting, at least I felt like it, but you never know how someone is feeling on the other side. From there, I didn't know anything.' The interest was, in fact, mutual. Woodson and the Haslams sat down again for another meeting near Woodson's home in Orlando, Fla., during NFL owners' meetings a month later. The family eventually invited him out to Browns headquarters in Berea to tour the team's facilities and training grounds and meet with team executives and staffers. Woodson soon received a formal offer to join the ownership group, a minority deal approved by NFL owners last month. He reportedly paid $5 million for his .01% stake. Advertisement 'I'm from a working-class community, so ownership was never part of my [previous football] conversations,' Woodson, a nine-time NFL Pro Bowler who retired in 2015, said. 'But I feel like I deserve the opportunity for what I was able to give to the game. In some ways, I feel like this is the game repaying me back, and I'm thankful for that.' Woodson isn't the only Fox employee to be an NFL limited partner; Tom Brady, Woodson's friend and former Michigan teammate, officially bought into the Raiders last year. Woodson and Brady are tied together in NFL history through the infamous 'Tuck Rule' game in 2001, but the two remain close more than 20 years later. He says the former New England Patriots quarterback reached out to him to send a note of congratulations last month. The two will fight for bragging rights when the Raiders host the Browns on Nov. 23. 'Here's two guys who came into the University of Michigan together in 1995, and here we are [30] years later and now we're both NFL owners,' said Woodson, who won a national championship and Heisman Trophy with the Wolverines. 'How about that? We're co-workers and opponents again.' Woodson, 48, is the latest former pro athlete to join an NFL ownership group. His purchase highlights the league's push to diversify ownership. The last few years have featured a swath of diverse leaders joining the league as limited partners, from former Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes (Atlanta Falcons) to a trio of former Toronto sports stars in Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady and Jozy Altidore (Buffalo Bills). Advertisement Both of those deals were orchestrated by Shepherd Park Sports CEO Derrick Heggans. The former NFL attorney with close ties to league owners also played an integral role in Woodson connecting with the Haslam family. The former All-Pro defensive back's entree into the Browns ownership started with a phone call a couple years ago from former Arizona Cardinals star Larry Fitzgerald, who plays golf alongside Woodson every year at the American Century Championship celebrity tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nev. Fitzgerald, a savvy investor who once owned a stake in the NBA's Phoenix Suns, asked Woodson if he'd ever considered team ownership. If so, he said he should meet with Heggans. Soon after, Heggans and Woodson were discussing possible cap table openings, including with the Las Vegas Raiders, the franchise for which he played 11 of his 18 NFL seasons. Heggans ultimately convinced Jimmy and Dee Haslam to consider Woodson, given his football championship pedigree and deep roots in the Buckeye state. 'He's a favorite son of Ohio,' Heggans remembers telling Jimmy Haslam. 'Once you're that, you're always that. … Ohio is proud of Charles Woodson and would love to welcome him back home. He becomes your secret weapon.' As a part team owner, Woodson, like Brady, will be subjected to the league's broadcast restrictions—he will be barred from production meetings with owners and players, and he will not be able to enter other teams' facilities. He says it's not a problem due to his studio analyst pregame role on FOX NFL Kickoff. Advertisement '[Brady's] job is much different than mine,' Woodson said. '[Brady] has to have much more of a touchpoint with each team that's playing each week where he's the analyst. He's more intimate with that process, so he's got a lot of restrictions on him and what knowledge he's privy to.' Woodson says his job 'is a different animal.' Being a limited partner in an NFL team may also impact Woodson's other ventures. He owns a liquor company (Woodson Whiskey) and wine company (Intercept Wines), and reports have stated he will have drop the 'Woodson' name from his whiskey venture, since the NFL's alcohol policy states no team owner can use their name, image and likeness for promotional purposes. Woodson says he hopes his new ownership position will be beneficial for his brands from an awareness standpoint even if that means potentially changing the way he promotes his businesses. The Super Bowl champion has ambitions of marrying his former and current ventures, hoping to make his wine company a leaguewide NFL partner, like California-based Barefoot Wine. Advertisement Woodson, nonetheless, is pumped to be part of the Browns' organization. He looks to contribute in a variety of ways, including with on-field matters, he says, if head coach Kevin Stefanski and the front office are interested in his perspective. When he's not handling his Fox analyst duties or elevating his businesses, he's spending time as a defensive coach for his son's high school football team (Lake Nona) in Orlando, Fla. But now he can also add owner to his lengthy football resume. It's a dream come true for the kid from Fremont. 'It's incredible news,' he said. 'Incredible.'

Man, 34, Has Message for Gen Zers Who Think He's Old
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A millennial has gone viral for reminding Gen Z that their elders aren't exactly ancient. Mike Mancusi (@mikemancusi), 34, and a comedian who works in tech sales from New York City, posted a TikTok that quickly gained traction with viewers. The video, which resonated with both millennials and Gen Zers, stemmed from what Mancusi calls a broader social observation rather than a specific encounter. "It honestly wasn't any incident or specific interaction I had with an individual. I'm just a comedian and make societal observations," Mancusi told Newsweek. "I feel like Gen Zers tie a lot of their identity to their youth and look at millennials as the elder wise men, and wise women. And, while I do appreciate that, I'm also just, like, we're only, like, five years from where you are. We're not Gandalf. But also, I'm sure every single generation feels this way about the younger generation. I seriously doubt this is a unique generational relationship," Mancusi added. In his video, which garnered more than 30,700 likes and over 314,000 views, Mancusi reflects on his experience interacting with people in their early- to mid-twenties. He said he often feels the urge to shake them and shout, "I'm not that far off from you," because there is often a sense of generational arrogance—one he admits he also had at that age. Mancusi said that people in their early twenties tend to view 34 as a distant, mature stage of life, but in reality: "The only way that you don't become me soon is if you die." He added that life moves quickly, and that realization can be unsettling. Mancusi said the core of his message comes from personal experience—particularly the shock of how fast time seems to pass after 25. This awareness, he added, can spiral into anxiety about making the most of life, chasing dreams, and the fleeting nature of it all. Still, he said he wants younger people to take away one thing: "YOU ARE NOT OLD. I'M NOT EVEN OLD." Mancusi warned against rushing into adulthood just because college is over. Instead, he encourages people to pursue passion-driven work, even if it means doing it on the side while holding a job that pays the bills. He added that, without a creative or fulfilling outlet, people risk slowly "crushing" their own spirits as they age. "I think Gen Zers are mostly just, like, 'Shut up old man,' and millennials are, like, 'Listen to him,'" he said, noting a generational split in how his message is received. Mancusi added that, while he used to be insecure about aging, he has grown to appreciate his 30s, calling the decade fulfilling, despite larger societal issues such as the pandemic and political turmoil. Mancusi also said there has been a major generational shift in how younger people view work. He added that millennials were the last generation sold on the idea that traditional 9-to-5 jobs equaled stability and success.

While millennials often "shrug that kind of stuff off," Gen Zers push back. Finally, Mancusi stressed the importance of health. He said he wants younger people to know that aging doesn't have to mean physical decline—but only if you start taking care of yourself early. "Take care of it, and you can and will age better," he said, citing meditation, stress reduction, and regular exercise as vital habits. "I'm in my 30s and in the best shape of my life." Viewers across TikTok quickly jumped into the comments with their own takes. "Gonna be 37 in August and I was 26 two months ago," wrote one user named Lex. "Gen Z personality is literally that they're young," posted another. "One minute you're 27 & two seconds later you're 32," added Amber Brookes. Others reflected on the generational divide with a mix of amusement and frustration. "As a core millennial when I was early 20s I thought mid 30s was kinda old … but I wasn't obsessed with it," commented a user named Evan. Another person posted: "Yeah talked with someone who's 25, I'm 32, and they said: your generation will never understand. We 7 years apart!!! We were in same school in the same time."
