Probably true, but is it against the law?Gruden sues: Was targeted by NFL, Goodell
Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden has filed a lawsuit against the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell, according to his attorney, claiming that Gruden's emails were "selectively leaked" in order to "force him out of his job."
So is the NFL and Goodell. Gruden hurt his feelings in the past. Yeah sure. 3/5 a billion exchanges and only Gruden's contained insensitive remarks. Watch how quickly the NFL settles. If all the emails were released they would probably lose a quarter of their work force.
Yes the NFL is shameless and I would like to see al the emails but the suit is frivolous.
If these were on his employers email domain he doesnt own them. His employer can do what they want.
Well, he settled with Davis on his Raiders deal so the suit likely is based on projected loss of earnings for his coaching timeline and then the period of him returning to TV. Chuckie ain’t a spring chicken but he’s also able to project that someone would want his TV personality for a decent period. Figure he had a good 15 years of earnings left and then all the endorsement money to boot. I have to figure he is asking for a ton. Settle at 25 cents on the dollars and I bet it’s still 8 figures. NFL is motivated to keep this issue from being a mushroom cloud. I’d take Chucky’s chances in a heaetbeat.
That's what I was thinking. Picking a side in this is deciding if I like the Colorado Avalanche or the 1980 Russian Olympic team better. But, I do think it'll be fascinating to see if anything goes public because of this or if the NFL just writes Gruden a big check to make it all go away.
Have you seen the emails? Please post a link because I've looked and have never actually seen one of these emails. I'd like to decide for myself if I think the emails are "grotesque" or something else.
No doubt it’s a plot by the sports media, all of whom hate scoops and sensationalism!The emails have been suspiciously kept hidden by the media, with only their descriptions and interpretations published.
He's not kidding and either am I. How dare you judge me! You are making claiming of emails that are "grotesque" yet you have never seen these "grotesque" emails? You are a mental midget and most likely a racist. I on the other hand would like to read the emails before I form any opinion.
If you can give an example of that I’m all ears. I don’t care about Gruden either way but him whining about selective release is dumb. The issue is if he wrote the emails in question. He has apologized for doing so. Now he’s fishing for something to mitigate his actions as if other more benign emails would do so.
Since you mentioned history, I have just reviewed your posting history. At least 50% of your posts are nothing but insults. Welcome to ignore.
I think you are missing the point. Gruden’s emails were the only ones publicly disclosed among 650,000 emails arising from an investigation involving the Washington now Football Team. Gruden is claiming, rightfully in my opinion, that it would be next to impossible not to find other offensive emails among the 650,000, especially given how far back in time they go and thus he was singled out for deferential treatment. I don’t like Gruden personally but I hope he kicks the NFL’s butt. The NFL’s statement that Gruden’s claims are meritless is hilarious. Let’s see how meritless those claims are when Goodell is noticed for a deposition AFTER his lawyers are given and had a chance to review the other emails.
And I get the feeling that the NFL will be singing a different tune about the lawsuit being meritless after the 650,000 emails are turned over to Gruden’s lawyers during discovery.
And I want to see what’s in the rest of the 650,000 emails.
Well first the NFL has no business selectively leaking emails. Second, let’s see if anyone else made similar comments in the other 650,00 emails. Third, the emails surfaced during an investigation of Dan Snyder and the now Washington Football Team.
Gruden was, is and will always be, a Jack-***.Gruden sues: Was targeted by NFL, Goodell

Well regardless of what gets released he still wrote despicable things.
If the discovery unmasks some other scumbags that will be a good thing. But it will not exonerate Gruden one bit.
Bvillebaron feels he's the only person who understands but you nailed it. Gruden can whine all he wants about "selective leaking" but that doesn't change the fact he sent stupid emails. Or maybe he sent follow up emails claiming the prior ones were simply examples of what people should NOT do. Yeah, no.I wish I could sue John GrudenGruden sues: Was targeted by NFL, Goodell
