I was hearing on the radio that it was apart of the NYT investigation and they had over 600K e-mails, so I think it was ESPN.

And I agree, Mark Davis should be catching flack. They ignored the Rooney Rule (which I mentioned before) and didn't vet Gruden.

Looking out for you. Don’t want you to get short changed on your last check before you went unemployed.

that was Daniel Snyder you nutsack

Will this impact the new "Chucky" series?

It's a reference from "Friday"

Gruden sent them to Bruce Allens work email, not from his own.

lmao. Commenting on the size of someones lips, which of course got turned into racism, caused him to resign. Funny stuff.

I can't stand Gruden, or the Raiders. But this is just stupid. It was years ago. He was not coaching in the NFL at the time. It should have been just left in the past and forgotten about. The fact that he's had to resign over this is just a sad example of how stupid things have gotten in this country.

You are about 20 emails behind.

The New York Times reported:

When the vaunted N.F.L. coach Jon Gruden was confronted with a racist email he had sent in 2011 to insult the head of the players’ union, he said he went too far but didn’t have “a blade of racism” in him.

But league officials as part of a separate workplace misconduct investigation that did not directly involve him have found that Gruden, now the coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, casually and frequently unleashed misogynistic and homophobic language over several years to denigrate people around the game and to mock some of the league’s momentous changes.

Gruden’s messages were sent to Bruce Allen, the former president of the Washington Football Team, and others, while he was working for ESPN as a color analyst during “Monday Night Football,” the sports network’s weekly prime-time telecast of N.F.L. games. In the emails, Gruden called the league’s commissioner, Roger Goodell, a “bundle of sticks” and a “clueless anti football pussy” and said that Goodell should not have pressured Jeff Fisher, then the coach of the Rams, to draft “queers,” a reference to Michael Sam, a gay player chosen by the team in 2014.

Gruden also criticized President Obama during his re-election campaign in 2012, as well as then-vice president Joe Biden, whom Gruden called a “nervous clueless pussy.” He used similar words to describe Goodell and DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the N.F.L. Players Association.

Recent emails were from 2018. Sent to Mark Davis calling Goodell a bundle of sticks.

You clearly aren’t updated on the situation.

Based Gruden.

In the midst of a supposed high-minded conversation on social decency, 'ol Busby simultaneously demonstrates his lack of brainpower AND his own bigoted tendencies.

Ahh, I've heard of the movie, but never watched it

Exactly LMAO

Bet Grudens livin it up on the town tonight. Won't have to go to work tomorrow.

This is where I’m at. Usually after around week 4-5 every season he becomes a lot more likable. :toast::toast:

Well in his second go-round with the faid he will always have the ring around Arrowhead in a bus. Now just a bus ride out of Vegas.

Wait.... what?? I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who hasn’t seen Friday!??!!??

Nonsense. You can't be a leader of an NFL team by spouting this stuff. It wasn't like he was a kid he was a 48 yr old man.

That dudes entire reputation got nuked in a matter of days. His life.

He was well loved around the NFL media types and now is a pariah.

It’s a massive fall really and he wasn’t THAT unlikable even if he was overrated as a coach.

It wasn't actually his work email - it was Bruce Allen's work email. It was Gruden's personal email.

And hey - who hasn't called people queers and bundle of sticks in an email?

Oh wait. Most normal human beings haven't.

Bottom line is that this will have absolutely impacted his ability to lead a locker room. And he has nobody to blame but himself. There's a MASSIVE difference between locker room banter and what you take the time to sit down and write in a !@#$ing email.

I'm disappointed the Raiders are going to be able to get out from under this clown. But ultimately, dude earned it. Was it bad luck that it became public? Sure it was - but my rules on emails are 100% easy to follow: Do not write ANYTHING you wouldn't want to explain in a deposition.

And as the public face of a billion dollar franchise, who was previously the public face of a billion dollar media organization but only AFTER being the public face of ANOTHER billion dollar franchise...the guy absolutely has to know better than that.

He's an idiot and he brought it upon himself.

On top of that, imagine the PR backlash the Raiders would get if they kept him after this.

Hi :)

Imagine that.

Bring him in for a look? Too soon?

The internet and e-mail only goes back to 2019!

If it was a one time off the wall situation and no other evidence shows that this was a on-going issue, your point would work.

Unfortunately, it appears that this isn't a one-time situation that occurred on Gruden.

oh there was more? Thought it was just the lips lol.

It was a sarcasm post you dumb ****.

Go back to DC, you worthless pile of posts.

Statue of limititizations man! Everyone knows that shit!

I'm guessing the piles of cash he has will ease the pain some. Sure his rep is shot, but HBF

I was making fun of jj's previous comments regarding another topic. ;)

Urban Meyer is a big Jon Gruden fan right about now

Sure but $ does not = happiness.

But being unhappy with $ beats being unhappy without it.

no, I wasn't.

AKA: I didn't give a shit until someone leaked my e-mails to the media.

Holy shit.

This wasn't exactly 6000 years ago.

Well I hope my being facetious was obvious. (Wrong words and all)

I don’t know if he’s ever going to put on that headset again.

I thought it was, just wanted to make sure you were reading what I posted correctly and I was interpreting your post the same way. :)

That Frank Caliendo guy might get some new material out of this.

AKA: I've got enough bank....well...BYE.

Smart move.

I hope Mark Davis takes over as head coach for the rest of the season. It would be fun to see the plays that he designs.

Please take him.

And there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos.

The guy that played Kramer has been out of work for awhile.

Fixed

Here's Bieniemy's chance to get a NFL HC gig

Has it been reported yet how these 10 year old e-mails have been discovered and made public?

Well, you see. . . This one dude was in a tight campaign to continue heading up the NFLPA . . .

I’d say that Gruden was dead right about Goodell.

Why is the hill of someone being an asshat something you're willing to die on when someone is probably rightfully facing termination from a private employer due to comments that were made by said individual?

Yes.

Likely the FBI who raided WFT football facility for an separate issue.

Holy shit.

Was he employed by the NFL during any of these emails?

Looks like it was part of the investigation into the Washington workplace culture, supposedly Gruden’s e-mails to Bruce Allen…

nope he was employed by ESPN at the time. That is why the NFL probably couldn't do much about it but the Raiders could.

New coach will want his own guys. Kick out Spags for Gus Bradley and demote Heck to asst line coach and bring in Tom cable to run the O-line.

This question is too muddled to answer definitively without making a ton of assumption about what you're intending to ask.

But I can say that I'm not dying on any hills here, nor do I intend to. But I am interested in seeing that, if society is going to insist on being driven by emotion, that they also be aware when their emotions are triggered for ulterior gain.

There's going to be a lot more from this email dump I promise you.



And the same ten idiots will whine about cancel culture or whatever.

[airquotes] couldn't [/airquotes]

ROFL

And that's why Tom Brady destroyed his phones.

Curious to see what other e-mails leak and from who…you know they’re coming…

It was only 5,990 years after the earth was created

Take Eric Bienemy. Please.

When they get to the archives of emails from the 1950s, things are going to get ugly.

Old rich men getting busted from work emails is a time honored tradition. You know NFL head offices were probably even worse than sports news offices.


Imagine using your work email to call someone a bundle of sticks or make racist comments about coworkers. How ****ing stupid do you have to be. Oh but it was ten years ago? It was a different time way back then! Gruden hadn't even grown up yet.

For sure...emails are not private...ever

You think a team with dozens of Black players and an openly gay player want to keep playing for this douchebag?

ROFL

You can't tell me Jerry Jones doesn't use some old timey vaguely racist terms in his work emails, I believe it in my bones. Like calling someone a ragpicker or something lol one of those words you don't even know what they mean but they just feel wrong

Washington should have hired Hillary's staff to take care of those pesky E-Mails.
