Biff's post didn't age well. Like 8 hours later, "comments from 10 years ago" doesn't even come close to covering all the stuff he's codified in his e-mails. :lol:
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Can you imagine if every conversation between every coach and/or player in the world of major sports was caught on tape?

Sports would be cancelled completely.

Maybe the Huskies can get Gruden now.

it's fascinating the raiders hired gruden again in 2018. they had to have heard/seen his email exchanges with allen and others. are background checks not part of hiring personnel? when did that investigation into the WFT break?

i guess what i'm saying is...cancel mark davis too.

also, i think it'd be hard for any team to take gruden on now. who wants him in a locker room?

Dad, I get that you’re about to pay a guy $60M so you wanna do your research … but digging through a person’s email before hiring them seems a bit extreme.

You find it, you fire the guy, fine. But where do you draw the line with pre-hire investigation?

Why on earth would they have seen all his emails?

not all, but some. i can't remember when that story about WFT broke, but gruden was exchanging emails with allen when a lot of the abuses with washington were going on. he was using his espn account if i'm not mistaken.

certainly teams have to do some form of background check on a prospective hire, and they'd be allowed access to that as part of that check.

It was Bruce Allen's emails they got as part of an investigation into all the terrible things Dan Snyder has overseen in DC. Gruden and Allen worked together both with the Bucs and in his first stint with the Raiders.

Sounds like maybe there was an attempt on Steve Albini? But he seems to be handling it well: https://twitter.com/electricalWSOP/stat ... 4614392832 Good thread
