Sounds Like Jon Gruden Isn't Going Down Without A Fight

It's been almost a couple of weeks since Jon Gruden resigned from the Las Vegas Raiders after controversial emails were leaked. He's been quiet since his announcement, until this week...
quote:
Andrea Kremer, who recently profiled Raiders owner Mark Davis for [HBO's "Real Sports"], explains on the latest episode of the Real Sports Podcast that a producer recently cold-called Gruden.
“Maggie Burbank, who produced the story that we just did on Mark Davis, she actually called Gruden and he picked up the phone, much to I think her surprise,” Kremer said. “And he’s still in Las Vegas. . . . He says he’s letting the dust settle. He said, ‘People who know me know what I stand for for 58 years. I have a resume of 58 years.’ He said, ‘The truth will come out.’ It’s certainly cryptic.”
If Gruden is so inclined, he could pursue those truths by paying the ultimate homage to the late Al Davis.
Gruden could sue the NFL.
The basic theory, if pursued in Nevada, would be “intentional interference with contractual relations.” The argument would be that the NFL put the kibosh on Gruden’s ongoing business interests with the Raiders by weaponizing supposedly secret emails in a way that ended his employment with the team.
Obviously, he wouldn’t be the most sympathetic plaintiff. He wrote the offensive emails that triggered his resignation. But the NFL, after insisting that none of the emails would be made public, harvested some of them with the intention of sending them to the Raiders — even though the emails were sent by Gruden at a time when he didn’t work for the Raiders.
