Gruden is done
- Thread starter SLion
- Start date
Right. Again rules only apply to one group of bigots and racists. Growing up in a mixed neighborhood of S Philly, I‘ll tell you there wasn’t a day that went by when you weren’t called some thing derogatory. By today’s standard we would all have a label attached to us. And by the way, we all got along went to school together and hung out daily. I went to S Philly High and was the minority, I will guantee most of you can’t say the same.
Thou shall not worship a midget ginger serial killer doll nor a George Floyd or Paul Bear statue, nor murder George Floyd- either thru Communist manifactured fentanyl nor via an autistic BlueBoi.
To work or not work for or associate with ESPN Mickey Mouse SEC Boss Hawg Cartman Playhouse- that is open to interpretation... but by my estimation- yes they are sophist blackmailing jagoffs waiting and hissing in the grass. Paulsters dont watch ESPN SEC boss hawg boss Fineblaum Playhouse unless there is a game on.
the stats actually show that women and men make very close to the same thing for doing the same job. That being said, I have no problem with Gruden being fired or resigning for some of the comments made in his emails that have come to light.
Well, I was replying to someone who used it. In fact, the person I responded to even capitalized it.
Michael Sam probably did get drafted only because he was gay and a feel good story but it turns out he was just an attention whore who was exactly what every scout projected. Too slow and too small.
Gruden has outwardly praised Nassib multiple times. Not that it justifies the rest of his stupidity.

He was an All-American and the SEC Defensive player of the year…not exactly a stretch to see him get taken in the 7th Round, regardless of his sexuality. I’m sure others could argue that someone with his resume should have gone earlier (while ignoring the measurables).
Pretty crazy that a guy being forced to resign for sending racist, homophobic, and sexist emails over a long period of time is somehow seen as a political issue.
What I could never figure out, and I will admit I didn't see Sam play in college, but wasn't this guy live SEC Co-Defensive MVP or something like that? Was this just media hype? I generally don't expect a player like that to flame out so fast in the pros, especially from the SEC. Always thought it was odd.
I'm just wondering how much Michelin paid for this product placement.
Too soon??
Too soon??
"Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of Michelin tires" in reference to the lockout and Smith's words regarding the whole situation.
Seriously... 5th grade? Dumboriss?😂

He was an excellent college player whose skill set didn't translate to the NFL. Scouts did not rate him well before the draft and his stock actually fell after showing badly at the combine. I would compare it to the situation most of the guys on PSU '86 defense; they were very football players, just not NFL good.
Sam did something many would do in a similar situation - he tried to capitalize on it. Others overhyped him ignoring what just about every talent evaluator said. There are about a million ways to address the situation without demeaning Sam or making disparaging comments about his sexual orientation; stupidly, Gruden didn't choose one of those ways.
exactly, his choice of words there is one of the biggest things I have seen that did him in.

Advice for Gruden, The SEND function can be a dangerous thing. You should not be shocked to be unemployed when you call your boss a f****t!
Colin got cancelled by being the face of a Nike Campaign? As I said Gruden got what he deserved but the two situations aren't exactly the same.
Shocking that an NFL franchise had higher moral standards than the state of Pennsylvania - said no one ever.
So, you are in a conflict relationship with an African American man, and in one sentence of one email you both call him stupid and make fun of the size of his lips. Just what in the hillbilly hell do you THINK is going to happen when that gets out?
Nope. On the contrary. Going to keep going.
Racist, unintelligible “music” is apparently the thing today. That’s why us old guys kid about it so much. You guys on message boards and in the msm complain and push the narrative, we have to listen.
But GREAT gym!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂
If your delicate sensibilities were offended by Gruden's emails, blame the media. They are the ones that put the emails out there.
Gruden comes across like a normal guy to me. Not a guy that will cry if someone calls him a name. Newsflash: there are a lot of us out there. 99% of the people I know fall in this category. So Gruden knows there are people that you can email stuff like this (in a PRIVATE email), and people you can't (because they will cry like a little bitch).
Gruden was emailing his friends. I email/text my friends some awful shit. Call them some terrible things. Again, these are private conversations, and no serious conclusion can be drawn from the content of these conversations. It's fun, harmless shit talking. It is possible to say some awful shit in PRIVATE conversations, and still be a good person. Still be a person whose ACTIONS are honorable. And regarding these types of conversations, I'm not going to have similar conversations with Joe Peace Corps, or the head of the Sierra Club. I know my audience.
So if the sports media is so horrified by the atrocities spoken in these emails, and concerned about the pain these terrible words will cause, they have no one to blame but themselves. They put it out for public consumption, when that was not the intent.

If Gruden's email made fun of the size of Mick Jagger's lips, would that be racist?
Call me crazy, but I kind of find it racist to assume that making fun of D. Smith's lips has some sort of racial overtones. Wouldn't have occurred to ME, at least.
You can hand pick someone to show it how it goes both ways. But don’t kid yourself, he’ll be back. Look at Chris’s Brown. DaBaby was canceled by venues but he still performs, why is that. I’ll tell you why, most people don’t care what someone says. It’s all about how it makes them look to the public bow to pressure.
Now that’s funny!!! 🙂 Best post of the day!!!! 🙂
Personally, I think Mick has MUCH bigger lips!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
They don't need no stinkin' blimp.
And B.F. Goodrich is saying, "Dang. Why didn't we think of that!!"
And this affects you how? It's about time slobs that throw around racist and homophobic slurs get penalized. I grew up in a working class town, grandson of a coal miner. I'm not impressed by the defense of sexist, racist behavior. Gruden has embarrassed himself and his 'company' and btw it's not about 'toughness' or any other macho bs -- who the hell wants to play for a guy that belittles people that are different than him?
Oh please, they don't care about that at all. They care about the public relations aspect, and only about that. They employ numerous people including athletes whose pasts are similarly checkered, and they know it.
