Yeah, with this injury + previous and fact he will miss what is essentially 3 years its hard to envision a scenario in which he makes it back to play in NFL

Brees was never comfortable in front of the camera or announcing

He reminded me of that tight end from Dallas who just never had the feel for it.
These networks seem to bank on these guys walking from playing to announcing with barely any training. A lot of them flame out, but maybe they'd be better if asked to spend more time practicing their craft.

The NFL did miss an opportunity to have the Bills-Lions game on Nick alongside CBS, where Nick's broadcast would have featured commentary by Jessica DiCicco in character as Lynn Loud Jr. from The Loud House, which is set in Michigan.
Oh yes, what a missed opportunity lol.

Which seems to specifically be what Brees wants to do oddly enough. If they didn’t re-sign Collinsworth, this doesn’t happen.

Gruden is ticked. I don’t even think at this point paying him his entire salary left on his contract would satisfy him. He’s angry that he ended up getting singled out and only his emails from the Washington investigation were leaked and no one else’s.

Yup, if he’s going down he’s gonna take a lot of people with him. If those emails have Snyder, Jones or any other higher up NFL player/owner/executive then shit will hit the fan.

Despite being a raiders fan, Gruden was wrong for writing and sending those emails.
But in the matter of him getting singled out from that Washington investigation I do hope he wins it. But from the sounds of things at best he’s going to get more money, like punitive type damages over and above what is owed to him on his 10 year deal. and it’s not like Washington will be penalized or the other emails leaked as a result.

If Gruden sent those emails via his own person one like a Gmail one then he could still have all of the replies back. But I believe that he used the ESPN account which is all probably deleted from the server and archives given how long it’s been. IT doesn’t like to keep that backup for that long.

Kinda feel the same way. It’s not to support Gruden, especially given what was said, but the NFL acted like their mirror is clean when it’s not, and it was only going to take this kind of situation to get it out into the open.

All of this.

This isn't about supporting a guy that deserved to be fired. This is about the NFL deserving the dirtiest of dirty laundry, and then some.

But is this lawsuit going to result in anything other than more money for Gruden? Like I said before, I think at most he gets his full contract paid plus punitive damages for whatever he gets be it $10 mill or $50 mill or whatever.

Is anything going to happen to Synder, the NFL, or anyone else associated with the WFT at the time? Just a hit to the pocketbook for the nfl.
