I'm sure him losing yesterday had nothing to do with it.


Nah. Chuckie is Davis' boy. Guarantee he didn't want to fire him.

But why now? Sounds like the NFL has known about them for a while


Remember when he was bitching about a weather delay at SoFi?

The crown jewel and venue for this season's Super Bowl?

Plus, he's been more than happy to criticize the league.

Gruden didn’t get fired. He turned in his resignation. I’m guessing he didn’t want them to dig an deeper.

I'm guessing they simply gave him the opportunity to resign before having to fire him. Davis likes Gruden. No way did he want to do this.

Did he say something political?

Or does this just need to get moved to the OT?

I’d tend to agree.

He resigns now and they don’t find a way to fire him for cause and remove that lucrative contract the Raiders has given him.


Not like he was getting another NFL job anyway and this shite-cans any possible media career being resumed. Unless he gets a college job, this is the end of the line for him.

You know I see this and other stories about athletes, coaches, politicians, whoever, having emailed traced back 5, 7, 10 years. How long can emails be tracked and who keeps up with this kind stuff for that long?
This will ruin any chance for Gruden to ever coach or be a commentator again, he should have all the money he needs so he may not care.

Woke ESPN will probably fire him in retrospect even though he obviously doesn’t work there anymore.



They should at least apologize no?

Most e-mails being tracked at this point are likely ones being archived by employers for legal reasons.

If it travels through their system, they can capture it and it potentially becomes a major headache for one or more people as a result.

if he resigns they aren’t obligated to pay him….he quit…..which I find very hard to believe.

He wanted back in the game after being in the booth. I don’t think he would just walk away without a fight.

Per the report, Gruden in the emails called Commissioner Roger Goodell a “f—-t” and a “clueless antifootball pussy.” Gruden also said that Goodell should not have pressured former Rams coach Jeff Fisher to draft “queers,” in reference to Michael Sam, a seventh-round pick of the team in 2014


this is fricking gold! all true.

They employed him at the time of his comments which I assume were made on their servers. They should be canceled too.

They've been trying to cancel Gruden since he went golfing with Trump, Jaws and Tirico back in 2018.


You're probably right. The left is tyrannical. And frick Adam Schefter and Booger McFarland. Especially McFarland. Sitting there on TV pushing that BLM crap as the reason to cancel Gruden. frick you Booger. Like you've never had a racist or homophobic word come out of your mouth or cross your mind. Anyone wanna bet Booger said all kind of shite while fighting at the line of scrimmage during a game? fricking hypocrites!

"Gruden also criticized President Obama during his re-election campaign in 2012, as well as then-vice president Joe Biden, whom Gruden called a “nervous clueless p_ssy.”

Hell, he probably posts here...
