Wilks was really screwed IIRC. I believe that he only got 1 year.

That sounds right. He was handed a rookie QB that wasn't game ready and the fragile glass body of Sam Bradford. That defense was legitimately good, though. Remember the fits they gave the Bears in week 3?

Pretty much. The erasing of history is the worst part of it. I do think that as we learn more and evolve, the view of history will become more diversified. We are learning new things about how other cultures were affected by things that were mostly whitewashed in the past. I see no issue with that aspect. If anything, it helps teach our kids empathy. I know there were words in my past that were commonly used (retard, burrito, etc) that I cringe when I think about now. But as I've gotten older, I've gotten to experience and embrace other cultures that I didn't know anything about other than parody or stereotyping. That's made me a better person (I'm still an asshole, though). It's a maturation process that sadly, many don't go through.

There should be no shame in enjoying things of the past for what they were. Hell, Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite movies of all time. It could probably never be made today, unfortunately.

I was referencing that I think he has a claim against the league. He wrote it so he is not defamed but I think they had some duty with the material. I could be wrong. A judge will probably want to speak to the attorneys about this as well.

Weren't MANY of these emails from when Gruden was out of the league?

I think his biggest claim will be that he got fired for something while he was working for ESPN. It's like if Urban Meyer got fired from Jacksonville because of something he did at OSU.

While working at ESPN, was he really out of the league, especially considering they're one of the broadcast partners?

It's debatable, I lean towards broadcasting being "out of the league", but whatever. The point is, Gruden wasn't sending these emails from an NFL- or team-owned email address, and that's not how they were hack...err leaked to the media. Unless he was sending these messages from an email address provided by ESPN, and they found the content appalling and leaked it, but I don't think that's the case. CB's point seems nonsensical then, unless it was "don't send stupid shit to your buddy at his @nfl.com email address", in which case nevermind.

I think this is part of what the feds got when they were looking into the Redskins' trainers drug thing. And the feeling I get is that at a bare minimum, he sent them to a team owned email address (Bruce Allen).

Let's make it easier. Gruden will get paid because the NFL isn't going to want there to be a public suit in regards to this for the same reason they really wish the WFT would have just paid this to go away originally.

Discovery phase!!?!???!

I cannot disagree with any of this. But that's always been good educators and open people's point. There are volumes of things we all have learned from experiences of people outside of their original circles. And more yet to come.

Did he? It's also entirely possible he didn't know anything about it.

What a compelling thought by JDC:

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. It’s time to change our framework for what a “football guy” is.”

Now, isn’t her Twitter posting a perfect example of this?

So it looks like the content of the emails is not the main story here, no? This appears to be someone manipulating the cancel climate to advance an agenda against Gruden.
