I get you and sure, most aren’t going to demand your login information for your gmail account. But they will employ firms to thoroughly comb the internet for public facing social media statements, and they will ask you to disclose such accounts. But there’s also a level of trust and chance involved, as you said. In a place like the NFL, where the applicable talent pool is small and nepotism and cronyism are infected throughout, there are many, MANY bad actors like Gruden still waiting for their day in the sun. I hope they expose all of them. I never use my work phone for anything other than work. My cheap friend uses his for everything. PSA: don’t be like my friend.

bud those cheerleaders were WFT cheerleaders. Not just random porn images. Big difference. being against female officials isn’t “evil?” You seem very fond of that characterization. Eeeeevill. No, Gruden’s comments are not evil in the biblical sense. Crass, idiotic, distasteful, and, most of all, grounds for termination? Most definitely. (Also, why wouldn’t we want to give females a shot to referee? Not like the men are doing any kind of adequate job. We witnessed that yet again just last night.) Uh, employers routinely look into prospective employees’ social media history. Been doing it for years.

He’s “definitely” an upgrade?

💯 and on top of that - Gruden was a leader. A head coach 3 times over. Leadership gets held to a higher standard. Not a hard concept to grasp.

The emails involving Gruden are not all 10 years old. Reports say the emails sent to the Raiders and subsequently leaked spanned 7 years. There may be emails even more current than that. If you check earlier in the thread, you’ll see how they came to the league’s attention. (They were discovered because the emails were between Gruden and his good buddy Bruce Allen, former GM of the WFT.)

not sure how being “woke” has much to do with this. If I denigrated my CEO’s decisions, passed around nude photos of female colleagues, and called the CEO a f——-t, and then he/they found out? Yeah I’d be fired for cause and wokeness had nothing to do with it.

I’m sure they’re digging. The DEA isn’t as leaky as the NFL. They reported on the raids.

We would know more about Snyder and WFT, but the league was so horrified / embarrassed / scared ****less about what they found that they purposefully instructed the investigator to not create a written report of her investigation. An oral report of her findings was given to the league in private instead.

Probably because the Feds are still actively investigating that.

this was just in response to a question about which email address he was using (personal vs. a corporate, ESPN account). He certainly was a scumbag while at ESPN.

The Times phrases it as, “part of a separate workplace misconduct investigation that did not directly involve him”

The Times story claims otherwise. Not really that important anyways.

Gruden was using his private account, Allen was using his official, team account.

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.

Ah gotcha. 100% agree

Eh, doubt he really had a choice, even if they characterize it as a resignation.

might as well post this again for those that didn’t read it.

Think the OP did it. Typo in title.

NFL officials are incompetent, not crooked.

i’d read the new NYT report from today and then let us know if you think this is an instance of a single, isolated comment.

kinda depends on how he would have performed in that hypothetical don’t you think?

Baldy is fantastic. Thanks for continuing to post these.

Not opposed to extending him, but I’d prefer Beane continue to look for an upgrade.

Not only am I cute, I’m also right. Show some class.

God that **** is unreadable. And i’m just talking format, not content. more than that, is there anything worse in a fanbase than reflexively having to gloat and flex over the losing fanbase? You’re just as pathetic as they are.
