Gruden 2 NFL 0 - heading to trial

NFL gonna settle with the quickness. They don't want any dirty laundry being aired.

Settlement talks likely to begin soon

I really wish he would decline any offer, but they will throw a bunch of money at this to make it go away

Gruden's atty says settlement agreement with the Raiders replaced the contract and isn't subject to the NFL's constitution #Raiders

---

Al Davis would be proud, his son just fricked over the NFL commissioner.

quote:

---

Gruden is in a unique position to resist a settlement too

---

Yep. frick you money and an axe to grind is a dangerous combination. I hope he takes this as far as he can.

"I'll tell you what, man, these guys are about to get the business, man. We're going to give em all we got and take em for all they're worth. Also, they're a bunch of queers, man."

Everyone’s got a number, but having 10s of millions in the bank, greatly increases that number and allows you to leverage the other side until it’s a god father offer

Gruden loses this and he’s still rich and retired. Doesn’t lose much outside of court costs, and that could be seen as simply the cost of getting some payback

The NFL loses the moment this hits discovery unless they can get everything under a gag order ( or some similar mechanism, not a lawyer don’t expect me to get that right ). Naturally that creates a pretty advantageous situation for Gruden, either through going through with the suit or enough money to run a small county on

If this goes to a full defamation or wrongful termination civil trial like we are all seeing right now with Depp, and you get weeks upon weeks of testimony, this will lead to far... Far more than just a bad day for Dan Snyder... It will basically expose the entire league, including numerous owners and executives, including Goodell, his top brass, and probably even some players and referees in some way.

Gruden's lawyers (who could very well be backed by Mark Davis) will bring up everything from the fricking Immaculate Reception to the Tuck Rule and crooked refs and game fixing. This is the abolsute very, very last thing the NFL wants.

This has the potential to bring the entire league down. The NFL will basically have to offer Gruden some ungodly sum to make this go away, and they will probably have to publicly apologize to him, or maybe even more.

This is the absolute worst thing that could have ever happened to the Goodell or whomever leaked the private emails to the WSJ. It was a professional hit job, like Brent Muss berger said, but the problem is, they didn't kill their target. They simply filled him with great resolve and awoke a sleeping Chucky...
