NFL statement: “The email from Jon Gruden denigrating DeMaurice Smith is appalling, abhorrent and wholly contrary to the NFL’s values. We condemn the statement and regret any harm that its publication may inflict on Mr. Smith or anyone else.” https://t.co/b9IUku9saH

Here's the thing. I worked on document review before in large litigations. Reading hundreds of emails every day from people as high as CEOs to lower level workers. You'd be surprised what people talk about in work emails. Not realizing that may be read someday if there's a lawsuit and that company has to produce all their emails. When you're as high up as Allen or Gruden, you should know better than putting this in workplace emails.
Our company had a bullshit lawsuit filed I don’t want to get into but long story short they subpoenaed 5 years of emails involving a range of people and topics. Thousands and thousands. Just insane.
None of it bit us in the ass but it’s eye opening. They probably read a lot of off color shit I’m sure. [Reply]

You have to ask though if some of the emails were sent to Mark Davis and he didn’t fire Gruden until it got leaked then………
Edit: I’m not homophobic when I said he wasn’t wrong I mean calling Goodell a weak pussy etc… Nor do I like women refs just to have women refs.
It is more like if you lay down with dogs, you're going to get fleas.
Bruce Allen was already shitcanned and blackballed by the league because of the bullshit that went on at the Redskins workplace.
Gruden had to see this coming if he had any idea about the scope of the investigation into the Redskins.
His brother was head coach there and his son, Deuce, was an assistant strength and conditioning coach there. It will be interesting to see if Deuce stays on as Raiders assistant strength and conditioning coach.
There are plenty of things to email about other than the stupid shit he is in trouble for now. [Reply]

Is it your assertion that, when someone is gay, that is the central organizing principle of their entire life, and whatever they happen to choose for career and other interpersonal interest are purely ancillary.
Like, they were born to 'be gay' and life is what happens in the meantime?
How is this perspective any better than the bigot's? [Reply]

A man called Booger suddenly has a case of the vapors, lol [Reply]

He called Goodell a f****t. Not really a mystery who wanted him gone and why :-) [Reply]
