its who he is....in his living room in his garage in his locker room

Come on, dude.  Your critical thinking skills are suspect from time to time.  All decent people agree with it.  He was clearly exposed by the NFL. 

Both of the following are true:

The NFL targeted Gruden in a media hit job, leaking information damaging to him deliberately.
Gruden wrote racist, sexist, anti-gay, emails at work to other NFL people at work, etc.

Let me put it another way:  Noting that Gruden was thrown under the bus does not mean you defend him.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Putting his emails out there exposed him. Whether that was done by someone who wanted him exposed and dealt with for being a POS or whether it was done as a "hey look over here!" distraction while other transgressions of varying severities were swept under the rug I don't know.

I do know that it's suspicious in the grand scheme because out of 650k emails I don't believe what Jon Gruden said was the worst of it. And what he said was disgusting and hurtful to his targets and for people like his targets. It's also an affront to society and decent people who want to move beyond racism and other -ism's.

The NFL offered him up as a sacrifice. And the others who were investigated skate free. Owners protect their own. Protecting "the shield". Mark Davis didn't even have the balls to address the media. He made others answer for him.

Roger Goodell, the owners and others who make gobs of money will not be taken down. Unless the cabal of billionaires wants one of them out.

No.  He got outed.  His exposure was not the result of journalistic investigation.  Someone in the NFL handed it over. 

It does not absolve him of responsibility, but there's a difference worth noting.

The little one was thrown to the wolves while the big ones were protected.

There's no love on Park Ave for Mark Davis.  I don't think he engendered any fresh warming of their relations by telling the press (paraphrasing) 'I don't know anything more than you do; talk to the NFL, they know everything about it."

Calvin Ridley is stepping away from football.

He missed a couple games with personal issues and today he announced he needs time away for mental health issues

Derrick Henry likely done for the year with a broken foot

Jameis likely has a torn ACL and MCL

Horse collar bullshtein on Winston.  Probably cost him $100M.  I have no love for the farging Saints but the next time they play the Bucs, Brady should exit the field in an ambulance.

Defender grabbed him under the nameplate. If Winston doesn't go down awkward it would be considered an extremely petty call. Definitely don't blame White. Nobody's paying Winston $100 million. He's barely a starter.
