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

A championship team that Tony Dungy never managed to win a championship with. Makes perfect sense.
I mean he got the perfect situation. He inherited an elite team and then faced his former team that for some reason still used his plays and audibles. He played that Superbowl on easy mode. And then once he had to start getting his own players and system in place, the whole team fell apart and he had a losing record the rest of his time there. [Reply]

Like when Jim irsay and Snyder slide under the radar while everyone underneath them gets thrown under a bus.
But it sure seems like the nfl is trying to sweep something under the rug here, doesn't it? I mean, after suspending players over tiny offenses, Snyder and Watson go completely untouched. Almost as if there's fear that acknowledging the problem will open up pandoras box.
Until Snyder gets implicated, there's something that feels really fishy in all of this.
IDK, Jerry Richardson was kinda forced to sell Panthers for similar workplace claims. I suppose Richardson’s surviving son did not want to inherit team and that was a factor in Richardson being agreeable to selling.
Snyder could get a Donald Sterling windfall selling that team if the investigation shows he was directly involved in some rotten behavior. [Reply]

But why didn't HOF coach Tony Dungy win a championship in TB with the team that he built?
People like Keyshawn act like this is some sort of Jimmy Johnson/Barry Switzer type situation but it makes no sense. [Reply]

Snyder already was allowed to consolidate ownership.
NFL gave him a BS suspension and minimal fine. [Reply]

So really he took 2 teams to the SB in the same year? That's impressive. Unlikely to be topped. [Reply]
All these "angels" that act like they've never said anything that would be considered "racially motivated" when nobody was listening or as a joke to friends are full of shit. [Reply]
Major mistake resigning. You cannot appease the witch trials. The mob does not reason. The mob does not forgive. So tell them to go fuck themselves, a la Dave Chappelle. [Reply]
