America's favorite Dystopian pastime - NFL 2021-22

can't believe the refs didn't let that incredibly cool lateral touchdown stand. i mean it definitely looked like he got it off in real time

ok yeah if Gruden's emailing stuff like that chances are he talked that way to his team and fellow front office people all the time, guessing we may be hearing a lotta stories about him soon

lol yeah there should be some good articles on the way

I guarantee there are others in the NFL that are sweating as they know some of the dumb bull shit they have put out there in texts and emails over the years.

yeah but Rex Ryan is currently unemployed so he's got nothing to worry about

Jon Gruden statement: “I have resigned as Head Coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. I love the Raiders and do not want to be a distraction. Thank you to all the players, coaches, staff, and fans of Raider Nation. I’m sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone.”

"I never meant to hurt anyone', Gruden went on to elaborate, "I only wanted to project a manly image by disparaging and dismissing whole groups of people en masse. It never occurred to me that my hurtful, ignorant, bigoted remarks could be taken personally by individuals within that group. Listen, some of my acquaintances and colleagues are faggots and I never said this stuff to their faces. I sort of almost liked some of them, even if they were pansies and dykes."

despite nearly turning it over 3 times on that drive Lamar Jackson still looks like the most unstoppable force in football

geez Blankenship really saved Young from being run out of town there

seriously you're at home, you know your offense will be completely unstoppable in overtime, and the other team has like 15 seconds on the clock...good time to dramatically shove a dude in plain sight after the play is over

that said Wentz is an anti-vaxx moron so I'm pretty glad to see them punt an incredibly winnable game like this. Lamar might've just put up the best 2nd half + OT numbers ever

gruden thing continues to be very satisfying. as does the unveiled racism and stupidity of bruce allen, not unlike that of his brother george

bizarrely, i met their mother (and her sister) once in a cafe in paris circa 1996. she was very nice but didn't seem quite all there. even more bizarrely, she gave me a pocket schedule of her late husband's last season as a coach -- long beach state in 1990. i probably still have it in a box somewhere

lol that is very random

it certainly feels like there are more shoes to drop but you never know with the NFL, it sounds like someone really wanted Gruden out

the nfl having this trove of 650,000 emails and only jon gruden’s getting out is very 🧐

don't worry, i'm sure there are no instances of daniel snyder doing anything unseemly

yeah but Rex Ryan is currently unemployed so he's got nothing to worry about

You'll be happy to know Rex is highly paid to bloviate on all matters NFL every morning on ESPN

Urban Meyer and Chucky going down is the greatest

A horrible unrelated fact that has emerged from the Jon Gruden fiasco is that he has a son named "Deuce Gruden" who looks like this pic.twitter.com/zcLMAlusDv

— Joe Bernstein (@Bernstein) October 12, 2021

the perfect name

Bucs announce they are removing former coach Jon Gruden from their Ring of Honor.

— Greg Auman (@gregauman) October 12, 2021

who else is in it nobody haha

Warrick Dunn

lol i'll bet tony dungy is still in it

there will be 28 new coaches by season's end

mike tomlin will be among the other four (and i am totally okay with that)

Deuce Gruden looks like you asked an AI to draw a coach's son.

hahaha

I saw that picture and had a slow motion visual ala 'Eastbound and Down' of that dude tweaking his hair in the mirror with the Jesus Lizard's "Puss" as the soundtrack.

I wonder if all these coaches sons get together and do jello shooters at the probowl?

is that… Frank Luntz? pic.twitter.com/ya6PRPZbcR

this is really great news:

The NFL has found no other current team or league personnel to have sent emails containing racist, anti-gay or misogynistic language similar to messages written by Jon Gruden that led to his resignation as Las Vegas Raiders coach, a person familiar with the documents told The Associated Press on Friday.

The person said the league "did not identify other areas and other individuals it has to contact at club leadership or league leadership levels." The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not publicly released what is in the 650,000 emails the independent investigators collected during an investigation of sexual harassment and other workplace conditions at the Washington Football Team.

"The NFL did not identify any problems anywhere near what you saw with Jon Gruden," the person said.

hahahaha

That’s such a relief

no racist language in any emails to and from the uh Washington Football Team, as I assume it was known during the entire period covered by the investigation.

literally every single email including the name of the fucking team has racist language!

which i now see is a point you already made. hate these people.

Also there is totally stuff as bad as Gruden in 650,000 NFL emails

sounds like it was just bad one apple to me! gruden fired, problem solved!

thank goodness there are no more racists or misogynists now in the NFL

sure, 70% of the players are black while there are three black head coaches, two black general managers, and zero (ever) black owners. but the nfl doesn’t have a racial bone in its body, that much is sure

making me aware of the malaprop phrase "racial bone" is a crime in and of itself

"a racist blade" is what Gruden nonsensically called it

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium deserves better than this.

just got to see Lawrence putting hishand down his pants and adjusting his crotch, lovely

It's early but this might be the best Cardinals team I've ever seen. Murray is so fun to watch.

Of course, being in the red zone this many times and kicking field goals is bound to come back to bite them.

Not red zone I guess, but still, a TD more and the game would have been over.

Seahawks offense looking very much like Green Bay's did whenever Rodgers was hurt
