Also too BTW: you can check my emails going back to their inception and I have never ever said anything remotely homophobic, misogynist or racist.

It didn't help that the Raiders have lost 3 straight games. If they were undefeated he'd still have a job. That's sportsball in America.

By 2011, any smart person knows that work emails are not private.

Yeah, mega millionaires who own NFL franchises are among the most liberal group of people in America. Paul Allen is probably the only one that even comes close. It's funny Gruden that somehow thinks of himself as a tough guy seeing as how his last experience playing was over 35 yr ago at a college (U of Dayton) that is essentially glorified high school level competition.

Gruden and Corey Lewendowski can form a partnership and open a club for white, conservative women who like creepy, sexist middle aged men who share a fear of people different from themselves.

Matt Walsh is the human equivalent of the chunks of dog shite you can't get out of the treads in your shoes after stepping in a fresh deposit.

After 15 years, finally had to do one of those this year. Not precipitated by anything internal, thank Crom. Required by California, every (two?) years.

The platform was terrible -- the whole thing had to be done in a single shot, w/o interruption, or you had to start over -- but it was only an hour or so. The content was utterly unsurprising to anyone with any social awareness whatsoever, but clearly not everyone has even that basic level of knowledge.

I could have this wrong and please correct me if I do but I'm pretty sure that the color analyst is the guy who points out the mistakes that the people of color players make while on the field while ignoring the mistakes made by white players. My bad I was thinking of the Minneapolis Police department.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and Mrs Clancy had the girls over for tea when a leprechaun jumped into the open kitchen window, jumped up on the stove and grabbed a hot scone and he pitched at the girls seated at the kitchen table (hit Mrs Mulroy in the side of the head it was funnier than sh..).Mrs Clancy was so mad as she Chased the leprechaun out of her kitchen that she grabbed a hot scone herself and she piched it at the leprechaun as he was diving out through the open kitchen window. Well she missed the little booger, but the scone it's sailed on and it crashed through the roof of the leprechauns wee little grass house smashing it to the ground. And the moral of the story is... People who live in grasshouses shouldn't throw scones.

Well, maybe Gruden DID think that someone would put his email on the front page of the paper - and he didn't care.

"But we didn't have disclaimers at the end of the e-mail back then. So it doesn't count as work e-mail" - Some conservative radio host, probably.
