SNIP

On Monday night, Jon Gruden informed the team that he will resign as the team’s head coach after a New York Times piece was written in regards to emails he sent back in 2011.

The piece showed a number of concerning emails with vulgar criticism directed at Roger Goddell, President Barack Obama and more. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Raiders received word of these emails on Friday but did not take action over the weekend.

Instead, Gruden coached on Sunday against the Bears in what was his final game as the coach for the Raiders. The news was first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero via his Twitter account.

He called Biden “clueless.” That's pretty weak. I would call Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush Clinton etc. clueless. Heck, even Reagan could be pretty clueless.

I hope Gruden sues ‘em all.

Nothing is private unless over Signal. I keep warning my kids. It is like warning them of a mine field. The mine field ought not be there, but there it is and reality is having to deal with it and watch yourself.

Radio Source from NY says Owner Davis couldn’t accept Gruden’s criticism of Biden. He called Biden “clueless.”

Sooooo...because Biden IS IN FACT CLUELESS and the Raider's owner likes Biden, Bruden gets fired. Ok, got it.

The CEO of the bank I work for is a hard-core Democrat. I'm gonna email him tomorrow and tell him Biden's a poopy headed moron who doesn't know what day of the week it is.

When they fire me, I get my 2 year severance. Woo hoo! I'm retired after that.

This a song from this season’s Super Bowl halftime performers, but that’s okay.

“B*tches Ain’t Sh*t” — Dr. Dre Featuring Snoop Dogg

Well, if the title of this song wasn’t clear enough, Dr. Dre’s 1992 hit song states in the chorus, “B*tches ain’t sh*t but h*es and tricks / L*ck on these n*ts and s*ck the d*ck / Get the f*ck after you’re done / And I hops in my ride to make a quick run.”

If he emailed Dan Synder he deserves to be fired.

MNF just said the emails were to Bruce Allen of the WFC who was something like President of Football Operations or something. He doesn't even work there now.

We sure have become a bunch of thin-skinned pussies. It’s not as if Gruden was pretening or writing anonymously. Good grief.

Free speech is dead in the USA. I’ll bet everything he said about Goodell and the Obamas is on target.

When they lost to the Bears yesterday it was obvious he lost the team and it was only a matter of time.

So let’s just say that what Gruden said over 10 years ago was pretty stupid and the BLM Cancel Crew got themselves another scalp.

Now let’s examine Equal Protection. What are they going to do when a myriad of others also are found to have the same ugly comments going back in time?
