And 40 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 3: the show right now is this? We react to this? 41 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: What is this? If you did not hear, maybe not, 42 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: maybe you're not following the Nevada court system. But it 43 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 3: turns out that a Nevada court has cleared the way 44 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: for a lawsuit that goes back not one, not two, 45 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: not three, but four years. Go back to the year 46 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. A lot of craziness, a lot of 47 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: people wearing masks and not going out and weird stuff 48 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: going on. But in twenty twenty one, there was a 49 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: lawsuit filed by John Gruden. Now you know that is 50 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 3: that's an old NFL coach, John Gruden, he coached the Raiders. Yeah, 51 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: so John Gruden file lawsuit where a court Nevada has 52 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 3: announced that that lawsuit now can proceed against the National 53 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: Football League and Commissioner Roger the Dodger, Goodell Roger, the Dodger, 54 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 3: who normally dodges these type of lawsuits. Now, that suit 55 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: alleged that a malicious and orchestrated campaign was used by 56 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 3: the NFL to destroy John Gruden's career. You might remember 57 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: the NFL famously strategically leaking all the emails that he 58 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: had sent, including the things that hit all the big ones, racism, 59 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: misogynistic activity, homophobic comments, the big three right there by 60 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 3: John Gruden and all the emails that were strategically leaked 61 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 3: by the NFL. 62 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: That's the claim. 63 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: So the Nevada Supreme Court, that's right, the Nevada Supreme Court, 64 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 3: did they cover area fifty one. Also, they ruled five 65 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 3: to two. What even close? Five to two was the ruling. 66 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: And they said that the arbitration clause in the NFL 67 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 3: constitution is let's just say non kosher, that's my term 68 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 3: for it. But it does not apply to John Gruden. 69 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 3: They claimed as a former employee, that Gruden was not 70 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: an employee of the NFL at the time the emails 71 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 3: were sent. There for he is not under the bylaws 72 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 3: of the NFL. Now Gruden, his lawyers react to the NFL. 73 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: Their lawyers they declined comment on this particular rule, did 74 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 3: not comment, did not comment. John Gruden's lawyer say that 75 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: this will help quote hold the na fell accountable. Okay, 76 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 3: so let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. 77 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 2: John Gruden. 78 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: Certainly this is a win, whether he wins the final battle, 79 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: this is a win at this point for John Gruden. 80 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: He wins this round. John Gruden winning this round against 81 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: the NFL in court. What are your thoughts on these 82 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 3: latest developments the Supreme Court of Nevada siding against against 83 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: the NFL and in favor of John Gruden. So I've 84 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 3: got the Jenga tower, Morgan Spurlock and cosplay and we 85 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: will combine all of these things together and put a 86 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: billboard up that says who hurt you? 87 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: Because every time I drive one by one of those, 88 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 2: I just want to laugh. I just laugh. I just chuckle. 89 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: I do uh. 90 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 3: Anyway, So my first thought on this and the latest 91 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: developments is the plot thickens. 92 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: Do do do do? 93 00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: Do? 94 00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 4: Do? 95 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: Do do do? 96 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: It's finger byting time. It's finger byting time for the NFL. 97 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 5: Now. 98 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 3: I did send some correspondence out to people that work 99 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: in that world. They don't seem too concerned. They don't 100 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: seem too concerned. It's that hubris of the NFL. Wow, 101 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 3: we'll ultimately win this. It's just going to delay the inevitable. 102 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 3: So I would argue, though there is some finger biting 103 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: going on because you don't know what you don't know, 104 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: and for right now, with worry about right now, this 105 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: is a seismic shift the NFL was not counting on 106 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 3: to the world order of the National Football League. John Gruten, 107 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 3: the guy who they tried to have disappear from the 108 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: face of the earth, is back. Yeah, and he's got 109 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: a for now, a wrecking ball, a wrecking ball in 110 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 3: his hand. It's like a Hollywood special World's Collide, World's collide. 111 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: You got the little guy, the disgraced former hero John 112 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: Gruden who comes back from the dead, comes back from 113 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 3: the dead, and now now he's got the villain, a big, 114 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: big football, big NFL on the ropes. It's if you 115 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 3: combine like Rocky and then you're throw in some sopranos 116 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: in there. 117 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: It's got a little bit of that, a little bit 118 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: of that. 119 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 3: Roger Goodell is in danger of getting the bitter taste 120 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: of his own medicine. Like the NFL tried to erase 121 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: John Gruden and now Goodell. You think there's anything in 122 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: his emails? You think Goodell sent any text messages that 123 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: might be considered I don't know, racist or misogynistic or homophobic. 124 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: Anywhere along the way. 125 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: I'm just asking, I don't know, maybe not. He's perfect, 126 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: He's the archangel. He would have never done anything like 127 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: that at all. The reason I bring that up is 128 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: because the discovery phase will be a hum dinger, a 129 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: hum Most knowledgeable people who have looked at the case 130 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: will tell you that it is more likely than not, 131 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: based on the prepondence of the evidence, that the NFL 132 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: leaked to hand picked, handpicked friends of the NFL that 133 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: are in that New York bubble, the Wall Street Journal 134 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: and the New York Times, the emails. Now, now Gruden 135 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: gets to go into discovery at this point, this is 136 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: where we are. He's gonna go in discovery and see 137 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 3: what skeletons ure he can find in the closets at 138 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 3: the NFL. And they have really big walk in closets, 139 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 3: I mean massive, And the whole wing of the house 140 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 3: is a closet and they man, is that a big closet. 141 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: They can go in there and snoop around. And so 142 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 3: at this point, Gruden not just knocking on the door. 143 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: He's not knocking on the door. He's got the keys 144 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: and he's gonna he's gonna have all the lights on, turnable, 145 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 3: all on, go through everything. And it's not just about 146 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 3: John Gruden and some dirty emails. This is about the 147 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 3: entire power structure of the NFL. And that's why this 148 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 3: is so fascinating. This f's everything up. They for years 149 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: have had a choke hold on anyone that dares fight them. 150 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: And this is a look behind the curtain. If it 151 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: goes the way it's going right now, where John Gruden 152 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 3: can reveal a lot of warts, a lot of interesting 153 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 3: imperfections in the NFL world. And so the Nevada Supreme Court, 154 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 3: in so many words i'll sum it up, told the 155 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 3: NFL you cannot be both the judge and the jury. 156 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: That's essentially what they said. That's how I interpret it. 157 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: You can't have your sock puppet Commissioner Roger Goodell arbitrayed 158 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 3: a case where he's one of the defendants in the case. 159 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: That's not how you do this here. And it's so simple, 160 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 3: yet it is so beautiful at the same time. I 161 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 3: don't know what your position is. My position is. It's simple, 162 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: it's logical, and it's beautiful. It's kind of like in 163 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 3: some shady neighborhood boxing match and you find out that 164 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 3: you're watching the boxing match and it just turns out 165 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 3: that the referee in the boxing match happens to be 166 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 3: the uncle of the fighter who won the boxing match, 167 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 3: Like just a coincidence, you know, it's just a weird thing. 168 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: So the league's very bedrock, the very bedrock of the NFL, 169 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 3: is built on this, and so they do whatever they 170 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: want whenever they want in NFL circles. 171 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: And if you don't like it, and you want to 172 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: go to. 173 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 3: Court and all that stuff, you can take it to 174 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 3: their little kangaroo court and they always win. 175 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 2: They always win. 176 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: It's like going to Moscow and suing the government in Russia. Okay, 177 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: you can do that. You're not going to win. You're 178 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: not gonna win. And so now the whole wobbly Jenga tower, 179 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 3: the whole giant Jenga tower, is shaking. 180 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 2: A little bit. It's shaking a little bit right now. 181 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: Gruden has for now, because of this Supreme Court in Nevada, 182 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: he has kicked one of the main legs of the 183 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: Jenga tower and he's he's kind of kicked it down 184 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 3: a little bit. So the NFL is essentially a mob family, right, 185 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 3: I mean, in so many words my understanding of what 186 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 3: the old mob was. And it's still mobs around and 187 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 3: all that, but essentially the mob, right, they do things, 188 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 3: but they don't do things by the book, and they've 189 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: got their own book there. And the great Brent Musburger 190 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame broadcaster Brent Musburg you're looking live, Brent 191 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 3: Musburger said of John Gruden. He was the Raider radio 192 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 3: play by play guy at the time all this went down. 193 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 3: And Musburger said of John Gruden's removal as the Raiders coach, 194 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: he called it, this is Brent Musburger, a guy worked 195 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: in the NFL since. 196 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: Like the sixties. 197 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: He said, professional hit job. That's Brent Musburger. Hall of 198 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 3: Famer Brent Musburger said the NFL took down John Gruden 199 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 3: on a professional hit job by a paid assassin. Is 200 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 3: how Musburger said it. They didn't use the usual media goombas. Now, 201 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: the usual media gumbas are state sponsored NFL media, the 202 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: network the NFL gets sold to ESPN or anyone works 203 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 3: at ESPN who's in the tank for the NFL. So instead, 204 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 3: as we mentioned, they went to the Wall Street Journal, 205 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: They went to the New York Times, That's where they 206 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: went to. And so now the tables have turned. So 207 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: they've turned, and the NFL peeps, we would imagine we're 208 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: gonna start singing like canaries some of the people involved 209 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: in this if it gets to the discovery phase, because 210 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: emails will get exposed and text messages and they're going 211 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 3: to try to do the old cya cover your ass, 212 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: and that's what everyone does now. Page two. So where 213 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 3: where does the NFL go now? To avoid publicly being 214 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 3: pansd publicly being pansd by John Gruden in the discovery 215 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 3: phase of a court case. So what does the NFL 216 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 3: do here? So they have to get out the manny 217 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 3: and the petty. They have to give the many in 218 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: the petty discotus. That is where this is going. Next, 219 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 3: the NFL will file a formal appeal, which means lawyers 220 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 3: will get some more money. They're on retainer anyway. So 221 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: the NFL is gonna file a formal petition I guess, 222 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: not really appeal, but petition for appeal, which is an appeal, 223 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 3: but it's a petition for a So they're going to 224 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 3: file a petition to the United States Supreme Court, the 225 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 3: highest court in the land. And if the Supreme Court 226 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: does not take the case, and they don't take most cases, 227 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 3: they don't take most cases a right, or if they 228 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 3: do take the case and they rule in favor of 229 00:13:54,520 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 3: John Gruden, meaning the NFL loses loser capitalel, that means 230 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 3: it is on like don't get Kong. We're talking about 231 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 3: the discovery phase. So listen to the NFL. I mentioned 232 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 3: i'd put some feelers out and I just I got 233 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: the early vibe I got was Hubris. That's my word, 234 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 3: that not their word. But there's an arrogance that they're 235 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 3: gonna win in the Supreme Court and all that stuff. 236 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: The NL is not stupid. They're not smart, but they're 237 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: not stupid, and they know that the discovery phase will 238 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: be a blood bath for them and if we get there, 239 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 3: and so they're gonna try to cut it off at 240 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 3: the pass if they have to. Now they assume they're 241 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 3: gonna win because they'll just do what everyone does in 242 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: these cases and a massage from some politicians and. 243 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: That's how it goes. 244 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: And then at the other side of it, the other 245 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 3: option would be to work out of court settlement with 246 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 3: John Gruden a big bag of cash. I'm talking the 247 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 3: late Morgan Spurlock and supersize me. I'm talking John Gruden's 248 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 3: lawyers cooking up what do you want, John? You want 249 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 3: thirty forty fifty million dollars whatever you want. The NFL 250 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: is gonna pay it. You know, it's a tax for 251 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 3: the NFL. They'll pay it. And Gruden, you know, he 252 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: had said the quote that it keeps coming up is 253 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: he wants to burn the house down. So he's going 254 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 3: to tell them to shove it. You would assume, right, 255 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: I don't need your money. I got enough. Gruden's rich. 256 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,239 Speaker 3: You paid way too much money to do bad television 257 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 3: and all that. So he's got a lot of money. 258 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 3: So if it's not about the money, it's about your reputation, 259 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 3: it's about the principle. And he was humiliated and all 260 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 3: that stuff, and he wants his pound a flash, And 261 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 3: then what's the NFL going to do? You know, he 262 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 3: can't settle. Gruden cannot settle, right, he can't do that. 263 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 3: The NFL made sure that he was radioactive. So what 264 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 3: Gruden could do is make Roger Goodell radioactive. There is 265 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 3: a scenario where Gruden, this lawsuit goes forward, Goodell ends 266 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 3: up losing his job as the commissioner of the NFL. 267 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 3: That there's definitely some skeletons there somewhere if you dig 268 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 3: deep enough in those nice walking closets, and you. 269 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: Can get rid of Roger Goodell. 270 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 3: And so at this point, John Gruden's got the league 271 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: by the balls. He's got him by the balls. And 272 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: just like the man said a famous quote, what do 273 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: you do when you've got him by the balls? You 274 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 3: squeeze and you keep squeezing until their hearts and minds 275 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 3: follow and there you go. You're on your way. Good 276 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 3: luck on that, all right? Now, the last word on this. 277 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 3: We'll put the baby to bed on this, John Gruden. 278 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 3: So you will get your calls if you want to 279 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 3: react to it, and comments and all that. But what 280 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: kind last word here? What kind of a package de leioh, 281 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 3: What kind of a package deal could get John Gruden 282 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 3: who has said that he wants and again his quote was, 283 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: he wants to burn the house down? So what kind 284 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: of package deal could get John Gruden to take a 285 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 3: settlement from the NFL As a distant relative of Nostre 286 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 3: Damis and friend of Nostradinas. 287 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 2: He lives in Seattle. He doesn't really react to the 288 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 2: show very much anymore. 289 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 3: But I've done the investigative work. I've done the investigative work. 290 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 3: So we're talking about Roger Goodell doing some cosplay in 291 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 3: this world that I believe in the multiverse. So in 292 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: this part of the multiverse, there's some cosplay, and Roger 293 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 3: Goodell he addresses up as the old Hollywood star Marlon 294 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 3: Brando from back in the day in The Godfather and says, 295 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 3: I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse John Gruden, 296 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 3: and it's about Gruden getting back in the game. The 297 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 3: money's one thing. Gruden not needing the money. 298 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: He's rich. 299 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 3: He's made a lot of money for a long time, 300 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 3: so he's financially set in that regard. In the multiverse, though, 301 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 3: you get not only the cartoon sized check for say, 302 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 3: fifty million dollars, that's after taxes, after taxes, fifty million dollars. 303 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 3: You look around. You got Pete Carroll who's beginning his 304 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 3: his first year with the team in Las Vegas, and 305 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 3: he's the oldest coach in the NFL. He clearly has 306 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: lost it. He brought Geno Smith in, who sucks as 307 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 3: the Raiders quarterback. So and we like Pete. Pet's you 308 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 3: a nice guy and all that, Pollyanna Pete. However, however, 309 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 3: John Gruden, what's the one thing he would love to 310 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 3: have more than anything. The job that he had that 311 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 3: he thought he was gonna have for another seven or 312 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 3: eight years. He signed that ten year contract to be 313 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 3: the coach of the Raiders. So John Gruden, with that 314 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 3: big creasy smile on his face from ear to ear, 315 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 3: cheshire cat smile, heads back to Sin City coach of 316 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: the Raiders, and Goodell can make it happen. Is Alison, 317 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 3: do us a solid here. We'll give you the money. 318 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 3: We'll get you the Raider coaching job. In fact, we'll 319 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 3: get you. 320 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: Whatever job you want in the NFL. 321 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 3: You want, what job do you want? It makes too 322 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 3: much sense. John Gruden returning his coach of the Raiders. 323 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: And you can see it now, the charismatic John Gruden said, 324 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 3: by Gunes be Bygones back on the sidelines there with 325 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: Mark Davis giving him a hug. They go out to 326 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 3: dinner at PF. Chang's and they get the orange chicken. 327 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 3: They have a great time. Remember Mark Davis said he 328 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 3: never wanted to get rid of John Grudin In fact, 329 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 3: if I remember Correfty doing the show and being in 330 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: the Watchdower at that time. The first email dump happened 331 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: on like a Thursday or a Friday, the John Gruden 332 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 3: email dump. Gruden coached the Raiders against the Chicago Bears, 333 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 3: and then a second a second wave of emails were 334 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,239 Speaker 3: dumped because the first one didn't work. So whoever at 335 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: the NFL, in my opinion, can't sue me for my opinion. 336 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 3: Some of the NFL said, all right, this didn't work. 337 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 3: We got more email, send those out to the other 338 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 3: newspaper that we don't normally do business with, and you know, 339 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 3: we'll take down. 340 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: And that worked. The second one worked. That's it. He 341 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 2: was gone. 342 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 3: But Mark Davis didn't want to get rid of John Gruden. 343 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 3: He was forced to, so he can. Goodell can unforce 344 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 3: it and bring him back and save his own ass 345 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 3: at the same time, because there's stuff in those emails 346 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 3: for Goodell that he'd be gone and Gruden can stick 347 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 3: it to the NFL's here. 348 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: I'm back. What are you gonna do now? I'm back? 349 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: And of course I don't think it's a pipe tree. 350 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 3: I don't believe it's a piper. This is John Gruden's 351 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 3: ultimate revenge. So either you tear down the entire league, 352 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: get rid of Goodell and a bunch of other executives 353 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: because you release the emails, or you take NFL money 354 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 3: fifty million, let's say maybe it's more than that. They 355 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: have going low at fifty million, and you take the 356 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: money and then you get whatever NFL coaching gob you on. 357 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 3: It's yours hand delivered done.

However, 522 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 3: you have to do. You have to factor in like 523 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 3: it seems like that's gonna be. Remember Colin Kaepernick took 524 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 3: a check and everyone said he had the goods on 525 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 3: the NFL too, and he took he took a hush hush, 526 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 3: he took a payout and he went away.

But 532 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: this is real, real selective prosecution against For nine years, 533 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: all they went after was John Gruden and his relationship 534 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: and only his emails against the Washingtons soon to be 535 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: renamed back to the red Skins and the point. 536 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 2: Love your all right, thank you, Mike all it's good, 537 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 2: and you'll be.

I was really gonna 554 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 5: say that I'm more concerned about where the NFL is 555 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 5: heading as far as coaching wise, people don't realize that 556 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 5: Crudin is still a part of the old guard of coaches, Like, 557 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 5: you know, he won a throw bolts twenty four years ago, 558 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 5: twenty three years ago, And see a lot of these 559 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 5: young assistants being hard, a lot of these young coach 560 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 5: being hard, whether it's because of coaching pedigree or just 561 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 5: new styles and dealing with the type of players that 562 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 5: we have in today's league. 563 00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: So I don't. 564 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 5: Necessarily think that he'll have the kind of leverage that's 565 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 5: gonna be able to place it back in the league 566 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 5: unless it's with literally just the Raiders. I kind of 567 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 5: feel like he'll get that Phil Belichick treatment when it 568 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 5: comes to that. And you know, we're on the last 569 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 5: like of these old coaches. You know, he's gonna retire soon. 570 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 5: Tom is gonna be out his way on his way 571 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 5: out to throw with Pittsburgh. It's probably Peril's last stand. 572 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 5: So I just wanted to hear what you thought about 573 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:26,719 Speaker 5: all that. 574 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I mean, just Gruden is older now and 575 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 3: so that is a factor. But he's buddies with a 576 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 3: lot of these these owners. They like him because he's 577 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 3: you know, they watched him on television so they're fans 578 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 3: of John Gruden and all that. Uh, the the young 579 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 3: guard though, it is odd, like you look at I 580 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 3: look at Mike McDaniel on the sidelines with the Dolphins. 581 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 3: I'm like, this is the antithesis of what a coach 582 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 3: should be. Like he's just got like the biggest nerd 583 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 3: in the world. They put him as a coach of 584 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 3: the Dolphins and they suck the Dolphins. So it is odd, 585 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 3: I mean for me, but I mean, I'm getting older, 586 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 3: twos are you look at some of these guys, I'm like, 587 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 3: what is I mean? I don't I don't mind the 588 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 3: the zingers that he throws out. McDaniel, it just looks 589 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 3: like everything a coach is not supposed to be on 590 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 3: the sidelines, Like he's a little guy, should be a 591 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 3: ball boy or something like that. He's the head coach 592 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 3: of the Miami Dolphins, Like, how did that happen? It's like, 593 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 3: and it's going about as well as you would expect. 594 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 3: He's lost the locker room. You've got Tyreek Hill. He 595 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 3: has no control over any of the players in the 596 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 3: locker room, and he's an offensive guru who seems to 597 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 3: have no concept of anything else. That's going on, and 598 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 3: it's like anything hit and miss like these the next 599 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 3: generation like Sean McVay is part of that generation and 600 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 3: he's done really well with the Rams and he knows 601 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 3: what he's doing. He's you know, he's a NEPO baby 602 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 3: football family and all that. And Kyle Shannins had some success, 603 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 3: although has him been able to win the big one 604 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 3: for the forty nine ers.
