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

Where exactly do you see them available to the public? [Reply]

Proud of their convictions on the issue. Don’t stop there Bucs, go ahead and hand that Lombardi trophy back to the NFL if you feel that strong and butthurt over Gruden.
Now that Gruden is out, he should get a publisher and write a “Tell All” book about the behind the scenes of the NFL. Maybe call it,”Glass Houses” or something :-) [Reply]

This is an excellent point. They need to live their convictions. [Reply]

Yup. Which makes it all the more bizarre that these emails were released considering how loaded all the other ones probably are. Not a single one about Snyder released. It's possible these guys are so detached from reality that they cut off their own nose to spite their face. [Reply]
Snoop dog called Bill Gates the “N” word when his Xbox went down and now snoops performing at the next halftime Super Bowl show. So I guess the NFL is cool with it. -> [Reply]

Reminds me of the Astros players. The players avoid punishment because they agree to be cooperative in the investigation. Alex Cora and AJ Hinch get suspended and have to miss a year managing. Hinch has to find a new team and Carlos Beltran, who was an Astros player is fired as Mets manager and never gets a shot.
That is questionable to publicly punish a fool like Jon Gruden who showed up in Redskins email while all Redskins wrongdoers are sanctioned quietly. I suppose some of those folks may be exposed if they try to get another job.
Seems like the NFL office authorized the sourcing to WSJ and NY Times.
Gruden is like Beltran. There is an explanation for why he gets screwed worst of all, but definitely questionable.
Be interesting to see if more fools who were not Redskins staff get burned. [Reply]

Pretty sure if it came out that one of my employees was telling me to blow him in emails with other people, I wouldn't have his name hanging in my office anymore as a reflection of his status as a commendable employee.
Convictions? No. Sense of decency and equity? Yes. [Reply]

And then you go back to Houston. I remember thinking to myself.... Jack easterby and his patriot way goons are such pompous assholes, they couldn't possibly be this stupid to air out deshaun Watsons dirty laundry, right? Right? To this day im still not sure. But it just reeks of self sabotage. Just like this one does here. Somebody who was protecting Snyder thought that this was helping him stick a dagger in, but all that its done is draw attention to the worst part of the car crash.
And ugh, yes. Can't believe Houston and Joey Cora are in the alcs. Fucking atrocious. [Reply]
