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

Lord I sure hope the Chiefs never get dragged into anything like this...
I feel like the chiefs won't hire any more borderline retarded hotheads after going through todd haley. The type of people who would get cancelled are mostly guys we wouldn't want. (not that I agree with cancel culture at all) [Reply]

Time to kick up his feet and retire.
Nah his ego was too big to go out without completing the job. He does love the Raiders and fans but he is uber rich and is probably on his yacht drinking a fruity drink laughing. I am a Chucky fan because I am old but the team will probably be better without him to be totally honest. Still the same run run pass offense and does not know when to abandon the run. [Reply]

I’m going to guess you are closer to Gruden’s age than those guys. I would be surprised if younger guys like that memorialize grouchy political stuff in work email. Those guys are ambitious and not cursing the world for making it so hard to be a white male heterosexual.
Gruden may not have had time to piss and moan about this and that if he was on an NFL staff and did not have a job that gave him too much free time. [Reply]

I’m 38 you son of a bitch lol…I kid I kid.
Yeah you’re probably right…who knows though at this point. [Reply]
Excellent news! FUCK Gruden, was never a fan of him - sans being let go by the Raiders then beat them in the SB! That was karma as I have ever witnessed! After that victory, forget him! I hope this kills the Raiders season. [Reply]
