And no need to question Schefter's motives - he's a POS who long ago sold his soul and doesn't care one bit if what he reports is true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Schefter in the last couple months is going out of his way to destroy his credibility. Or maybe it was bad and now everyone is seeing it. This latest one makes him come off as a stooge trying to "protect the brand" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Jon Gruden has sued the NFL and Roger Goddell for defamation. hee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The funny thing is I think Gruden is right - he was certainly targeted by the NFL as of the hundreds of thousands of documents they went through, his email was literally the only one that magically got leaked. But, clearly he is an utterly unsympathetic character since he said the things in the first place. I'm not a lawyer but I would think his case would be a difficult one to win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I imagine the nfl will settle before trial, because discovery would/could bring out many more details of the synder bullshit, and the shield wants no part of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Yeah, it's very possible he is right that Goodell leaked the emails because he was mad at what Gruden had said about him. Doesn't change the fact that Jon Gruden is an asshole who deserved to lose his job over this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I think the NFL was probably out to get Gruden but.... so what? The emails are legit. They're not privileged communication. It's not illegal for the NFL to release them. What exactly is Gruden claiming here? "If you hadn't shown the world that I write racist, homophobic emails, I wouldn't have voluntarily quit my job?" I don't see how he has a case. But I sure hope it goes to trial with tons of discovery made public. Come to think of it, that's what Gruden is angling for - a settlement so the NFL can avoid discovery. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Zac Stacy is going to prison for a long time. If you look around the web you'll quickly find a video of him violently attacking his wife in front of their infant child.

Zimbra Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 They're not really calling BS so much as saying "Well we didn't notice anything."

Brian Fowler Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 IANAL but I think you guys might be overestimating how long he'll spend in prison. If my Google-fu is correct, he's looking at a max of 5 years for aggravated assault. @Lawful Metalcould probably do a better job of understanding the exact situation than I possibly can, but my deep cynicism and past events makes me suspect he's more likely to serve two years or less after he cops a plea.

Dolfan in NYC Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Well a few things, 1. Mitigating factor of the child being a witness will probably add a charge of endangerment. 2. They have him dead to rights because of the recording 3. A plea deal is actually not a bad thing. As the US prison system is overflowing as it is. A couple of years is still a long ass time to be away from your friends/family. Plus he'll get what he absolutely needs and that's anger therapy. He has to learn how to control his rage. Otherwise, he's could end up hurting his wife again, or his kid, or even killing someone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I’m a Texas lawyer and I don’t know what state this is in so your mileage may vary. Yeah it’s not good, but without any serious bodily injury I don’t think he’ll see any significant time.

What I saw last night was he was being charged with Aggravated Assault and Criminal Mischief. I agree anger counseling and other help is the most important thing, I'm just saying the idea he'll never see the sun again or whatever is highly unrealistic.
