Thank you, COVID!

https://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/09/highest-paid-espn-jon-gruden-report-monday-night-football-jon-gruden-salary ESPN's highest paid employee when he was there at $6.5M/year. Plus the $20M+ from his original coaching stint. Plus the $30M+ he already made on his latest contract. I think I could survive.

And I learned something new today!

I'm sure he had a talk with Davis and was told "we can do this the easy way, or the hard way". He ultimately willingly left $60M on the table and saved himself the bad optics of having to fight for it in court after all this. Gruden has made plenty of money. Probably already sitting on over $50M. That's enough to "fall back on" when something like this comes out. It was already on the fence facing his players with the racial stuff. But the homophobic stuff when you have Nassib on the roster... unrecoverable. He had to walk away.

I mentioned in the other thread... I think Diggs simply didnt realize he was THAT wide open, and was expecting to get hit as he caught the ball, and when he didnt it took him a sec to get his feet back under him and running down field. It's typical Diggs to make a deep catch and go down before the Safeties lay a lick on him (and a smart move). Kinda bit him this time, but oh well.

Ha, true. I guess that is one way of looking at it. Although that must mean the bar is really low. Not giving him much credit for it tho.

He didnt even get fired. He resigned because he knew he could no longer show his face in that locker room as a supposed Leader. He canceld himself twice.

Center, OG, DT, RB. I expect the Interior OL to be Beane's next offseason project like WR was in 2020 and DL was this year. From all reports, this will be Morse's last year. We need at least one starting OG on the right side, and some depth behind Feliciano (and his future replacement).

It was part of the WFT/Snyder workplace investigation. WFT turned over 650,000+ emails. These were in those.

Yep, the 2 year policy is just to clean up the server for space so people dont have profiles that are 20GB of junk sitting there. It isnt to protect the user or erase evidence. The emails are still archived and saved elsewhere.

You mean Bruce Allen? May want to do some of your own research on Allen and what an upstanding individual he is. Or isnt. Keep in mind, the NFL was investigating the disgusting office culture of the WFT which was lead by Snyder and Allen when they stumbled across these emails. Gruden's emails arent even the main event.

Even Chicago?

Even more reason to play for the win and a TD, and not a FG.

No one should expect any privacy on communications sent over a platform someone else owns. Especially when that someone is your employer. Those emails are the company's property, and anyone and everyone can read them.

Great point. Totally forgot about Nassib being in LV. Wow, yeah.

Even Jags/Bengals turned into a real game.

Very happy to have McD over Reich right now. Horrible choke job.

Maybe take some time to read up before defending these guys next time.

So I dont usually complain about commentators. If I dont like them, I just ignore them. And I did like the way Matt Millen called the Dolphins game, and dont hate Troy Aikman and Joe Buck like a lot of people. I'll even tough it out with Beth Whatshername. But holy *****. That was the most biased, ball-washing game call I've ever heard. And we have all sat through MANY games against the Pats and Brady at their peak. But I dont remember ANY being as bad as last night. Infuriating, biased, unwatchable. I especially loved the part where Collinsworth was cheering dirty hits against our players. Real classy. Real professional.

"I'm not racist, I just hate f@#$" -Jon Gruden, 2021

Even without any emails, if you are friends with Bruce Allen, you are probably a shady jerk at best.

Same. I'm no angel but I dont ever have to worry about stuff like this popping up, or getting in trouble at work for an "innocent comment". It really isnt that difficult if you arent a hateful #######.

You understand that no one was witch hunting here. This wasnt found by "reporters". There was an investigation into Snyder and the WFT due to all the ***** they've pulled over the past 20 years, and these emails were part of that League investigation. I'm sure after seeing what was written about him, Goodell wasnt overly concerned in trying to protect them from leaking. Notice that nothing has leaked about his boss, Snyder, yet tho.

All coaches contracts are fully guaranteed. Unless you do some crazy *****. Or quit/retire/resign. Or both!
