Gruden gets a big fat negotiated settlement. Who ever thought this hit job was a good idea gets the Rainman Idiot Savant of the year award. Has to be sarcasm here, right? Gruden will get nothing, just humiliate himself and his family even more if that is possible. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lawsuit will cost the NFL more than the damage of Gruden leaking anything worthwhile then they'll settle and he'll get paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Mark Davis said at the owners meetings that he thought the nfl should release everything on WFT. Meanwhile jerruh said he thought the nfl did a sufficient job on the WFT case. There are owners who just want this to end .. for obvious reasons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 This does make one wonder how he plans to meet his burden... But, that is what happened. I am guessing the NFL will cave if they are forced to release all of the emails. Releasing the emails will probably cost the NFL more than a settlement with Chucky. Best Result: He doesn't settle. He just ***** everywhere, taking his persecutors out with him, haha. Likely result: Undisclosed Settlement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prissythecat Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 None of this changes the fact that Chucks wrote emails that were misogynistic , homophobic , and racist . And to make it even more awesome , he wrote them on systems where there is no expectation of privacy . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet he'll go to the HOF just for being commissioner unlike Rosell and Tagliabue who actually did things for the league that was for the greater good of the game and made a difference. The league has gotten soft and changed for the negative under goodell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people not giving the NFL credit for the wealth and clout they possess. I’m sure there’s plenty of stuff that could make the league look bad, but don’t count on it coming out. The NFL has a top notch legal team. Gruden would have never been thrown under the bus if this was going to come back to bite them. There’s a good chance they’ll reach a settlement, but even without a settlement, I don’t see anyone requiring the league to release every email.

The commish should be ashamed of being so stupid. I knew Goddell was unethical but this so stupid and Gruden will get his whole 100 million now without having to deal with Al Davis I'm sure the number Gruden comes up with for a settlement will be huge, much bigger than 100 million. The balance of the contract plus future earnings given his age, etc. Where's my popcorn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky suing the NFL and burning every bridge in his wake was about as predictable as the sun rising and setting. He has nothing to lose…I am no Gruden fan, but my guess as the onion gets peeled back, there is a whole lot more to this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I'm no Gruden fan either. But there is something fishy about this whole escapade. I foresee the NFL trying to put a lid on it quickly. It prolly has tentacles reaching back to WFT/Snyder and Cowboys/Jones. Let's add in a dash of Kraft/Patriots.. because he's never been too discrete with his personal life. Half a million emails contains a lot of dirt, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Is Gruden a POS? Probably. But what the NFL and owners did was BS. They sacrificed him to cover up things that are likely much worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done some good things for the game, but the referees and rules are at an all time worst. At least when they were incompetent under Tagliabue’s reign it was mostly due to the lack of replay or camera angles, but amending/introducing the taunting, roughing the passer, and “he hit me too hard” penalties have made the game frustrating and nearly unwatchable. The problem is the owners love him. They’ve kept him in because he does their budding and is a lightning rod to take the focus off them. That’s all they want ultimately.

JDubya76 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 If any non-owner is familiar with where the skeletons are buried, probably Gruden. This should be fun. protect the shield vs. bury the shield. A quick settlement will tell us if Gruden has the dirt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
