Gruden gets canned for private emails and in the same breath they talk about the possible landing spots for Deshaun

Not really. It’s unacceptable for people in Gruden’s status to talk like that

BlooCoog

10/24/21 8:06pm

Saying words in emails is equal to or worse than rape and or sexual assault? That’s ridiculous. And yes, I know that

"The allegations against Watson are even more unacceptable and egregious"

Carnac

10/24/21 8:53pm

Serious question, why is he not playing right now?

PHXSUNS31

10/24/21 8:56pm

I am guessing he isn't playing because he is likely to be in prison soon

Carnac

10/24/21 8:58pm

But who’s keeping him from playing? Houston? The NFL? Himself?

PHXSUNS31

10/24/21 9:05pm

AFAIK he told Houston he'd never play for them again BEFORE the allegations and

Do you have an example of this? I don’t think this is the case at all.

He could still be president of the US.

SoCalCoug

I invite him to run, then.

Well, the former president of the US was accused of sexual assault by multiple

I'd have no problem with that.

Carnac

10/24/21 10:12pm

Uh...did you read the post? I didn't say that.

BlooCoog

Courts don't matter at all.

Maybe Mark Davis was looking for a way to dump Gruden?

JuicyJam

10/24/21 8:07pm

BTW, Gruden voluntarily resigned. You could argue that it was done under duress

SJS

10/24/21 8:14pm

I’ve talked to a couple die hard Raiders fans that aren’t too sad Gruden is gone

pink22

10/24/21 8:56pm

Did you even watch that whole segment? They're talking about Watson

SJS

10/24/21 8:12pm

Why are teams even willing to trade for Watson?

PHXSUNS31

10/24/21 8:17pm

At this point no one has right?

Charles Darwin

10/24/21 8:19pm

I keep seeing that a deal to Miami is close, but who knows

SJS

10/24/21 8:21pm

They’re calling because, if he’s innocent, now is the time to act

Alpi Gusto

10/24/21 8:23pm

I guess that’s true, but it seems almost certain he’s guilty of something

PHXSUNS31

10/24/21 8:29pm

Oh, for sure. I’m not saying he’s innocent at all

Alpi Gusto

10/24/21 9:32pm

Apparently "innocent until proven guilty" only applies if you're not black.

SoCalCoug

10/24/21 9:14pm

Why do some people not get bail?

Carnac

10/24/21 9:21pm

I’m not even making a statement on his innocence or guilt

PHXSUNS31

10/24/21 9:23pm

Neither will most of the NFL

SoCalCoug

Richie Incognito plays for the Raiders. How ironic is that?

bluelands

10/24/21 8:12pm

It’s not really a mystery. If you’re good enough, they don’t care what you do

Alpi Gusto

10/24/21 8:17pm

That's not quite it. But the thought police would strike me down for saying it

jrifkin48

10/24/21 8:24pm

Can you show me a guy that “got away with it” who wasn’t elite?

Alpi Gusto

10/24/21 8:43pm

Cosby got off. OJ did well. Bill Clinton is enjoying life.

I’m not sure you know this, but Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby did not play in the

Alpi Gusto

10/24/21 10:16pm

You are correct. I'll also throw Ray Lewis in the mix as well.

jrifkin48

10/24/21 10:25pm

So do you belive it's no big deal to say racist stuff?

SoCalCoug

10/24/21 8:27pm

Do you believe it’s no big deal to sexually assault women?

JollyGreenGiant

10/24/21 8:28pm

No. Huge deal.

That’s exactly what he said. He said, “There’s nothing wrong with racism”

UNLVcougar

10/24/21 8:40pm

He downplays it by calling it "private emails."

SoCalCoug

10/24/21 9:07pm

That’s not downplaying if. That’s describing where the racist words were located

UNLVcougar

10/24/21 9:44pm

And showing the contrast, to drive home the point that the NFL brass are an embarrassment

Hank Rearden

10/24/21 9:51pm

Do you believe in false dichotomies?

Carnac

10/24/21 8:58pm

Racist words are disappointing and should not be said but they are still just words. If they create and or influence

Zach Morris

Are one's words, said in private, reflective of one's character?

SoCalCoug

10/24/21 9:08pm

Is it illegal to have a bad character?

Carnac

10/24/21 9:10pm

Gruden just lost his job, he’s not being prosecuted for anything

PHXSUNS31

10/24/21 9:12pm

“Just lost his job”. Let’s imagine you losing your job over arbitrary words and descriptions

Zach Morris

*Just voluntarily resigned

SJS

*Was required to voluntarily resign or else be fired.

Zach Morris

10/24/21 9:25pm

Link? Certainly possible, but I haven't seen that confirmed.

SJS

10/24/21 9:27pm

"Arbitrary"... Yikes...

jamfam

10/24/21 9:24pm

Imagine keeping your job after sticking your stick

Carnac

10/24/21 9:25pm

I think I would rightfully lose my job if I did what Gruden did

PHXSUNS31

10/24/21 9:25pm

I would lose my job for either Gruden or Watson behavior.

Carnac

10/24/21 9:26pm

Sure, that’s my point. But certain people can get away with rape or domestic violence with little to no repercussions

Zach Morris

10/24/21 9:27pm

Who’s actually getting away with it?

PHXSUNS31

10/24/21 9:35pm

You keep acting like Gruden is going to jail for his "arbitrary" words. He

jamfam

10/24/21 9:35pm

Dude--let me tell you how this works in the world of narcissists.

Carnac

10/24/21 10:16pm

I think there is a very good chance that it went down exactly like you say but

jamfam

10/24/21 10:27pm

Assuming the emails were really written by him, do you think he still should not

SoCalCoug

10/24/21 9:26pm

Admittedly, I have not read each and every email. Yes, some words are a fireable offense and perhaps he should be fired

Zach Morris

10/24/21 9:35pm

Dude, anybody in the world would lose their job for these types of e-mails.

akmewg

10/25/21 12:46am

Is Gruden being put in jail?

SoCalCoug

10/24/21 9:13pm

Do we have evidence that Watson has "bad character?"

Carnac

10/24/21 9:19pm

Gruden resigned. He apparently did not contest the validity of the emails.

SoCalCoug

10/24/21 9:24pm

Just like politics and the media. If you are on their side, you play by

Don’t really feel like it’s fair to put Kaep on this list

If anything it illustrates the point even more. Tebow could be on the list as

10/24/21 8:48pm

To me it was just what the players did to cause the distraction..

PHXSUNS31

10/24/21 8:53pm

Good enough at what? Being an NFL quarterback? Tebow wasn’t good at that.

pink22

10/24/21 8:58pm

Tim Tebow won a playoff game. Threw the game winning TD.

jrifkin48

10/24/21 10:45pm

Yes I remember

pink22

10/24/21 11:24pm

Tebow was terrible and so was Kap. If they were better, they would have a job

Alpi Gusto

10/24/21 10:18pm

Kaep was better than Tebow. But Kaep made a business decision too

jrifkin48

10/24/21 10:48pm

I agree with that. I should have said “Kaep wasn’t good enough to start,”

Alpi Gusto
