[Edit] Jon Gruden resigns over controversial emails discovered in WFT investigation

[VaMilBill]

I don’t know what all the emails say specifically. But could Gruden have been annoyed that the nfl basically blackmailed the Rams into drafting Michael Sam to avoid hard knocks?

Cancel culture does exist.

 

That being said, Gruden has no one to blame but himself.

 

Accountability exists

Wade Phillips v. Buffalo Bills.  He fired me!  He resigned!  He fired me!  He resigned!  All depends on what's in the contract.  I would argue that if Gruden was fired, it would be for cause.

this was for cause.  They likely have some settlement buy out in this or they let him keep signing bonus money.

Gruden asked Derek Carr if people could park on his lawn for the Yard Sale Chucky is about to have. Carr is organizing a community group to help Gruden pack up.

And that’s why he called Goodell a f*****t? 
 

Not getting where this one is going.

oh yikes.  The original email that surfaced was sort of a nothingburger IMO, but this is on a whole different level.

Maybe Gruden can get a role in the next Dukes of Hazzard movie.  He would be terrific as Boss Hogg.

What amazes me the most is the emails were over a 7 year period, and nothing ever came out about this till now!

Right, but I think there's a big difference between ***** cancel culture and very valid complaints over these emails, ESPECIALLY if they were sending pics of topless women and cheerleaders back and forth.

Just an obvious douchebag his whole career.  Good riddance.  To those crying cancel culture, people would have been getting fired for this kind of egregious stuff for decades now.

The league was conducting an unrelated investigation involving WFT (big surprise there.) Bruce Allen was who Gruden was talking to. Someone at the league involved in the investigation leaked them.

Lucky for Mark Davis, Rex Ryan is available 

[MJS]

Wow. Gruden really tried his best to offend as many groups and people as possible. That's impressive!

Was Gruden using his personal email or were these from a team or ESPN address?
