If Gruden was really planning to dig in his heels and be shameless and play the aggrieved party, wouldn't it have made sense to make Davis fire him (rather than resigning) and try to force a negotiated buyout on the rest of his contract? If he resigns and then makes the cancel culture circuit, he's essentially being a horse's rear end for free.

I don’t think he’s planning it but he’s going to get flooded with offers now

Forrest on Fire posted:ESPN was where Gruden worked when these emails were sent. They have shown increased concern about their outward image and aren't going to hire a shitload of baggage back. If anyone hires Gruden next year it'll be one of the chuddy places, Fox Sports, Barstool, etc Blaze Sports Presents Tough Take with Jon Gruden, Sage Steele and Jason Whitlock.

Gruden strikes me way more as a guy who will just gently caress off to Clearwater or somewhere and spend most of his time on a boat

morestuff posted:Gruden strikes me way more as a guy who will just gently caress off to Clearwater or somewhere and spend most of his time on a boat I think this too. He could be a right wing shock jock if he wanted. He's never seemed to be that into culture war. His big claims to fame are a SB ring with Tony Dungy's players, and being the Packers coach that picked up Brett Favre at the airport.

Yeah his whole role in media was being the football guy that still supposedly kept up watching film all the time. I wouldn't be surprised by some interviews eventually with a lot of laughing and you said it not me energy.

I’m going to go counter to everyone and say the Gruden just slinks off and stays quiet for a long time. The NFL would definitely prefer for him to disappear and be forgotten.

IDK, could get at least one more person if they are saying this on the actual NFL Network, plus many folks saying similar on ESPN. (please be Snyder) https://twitter.com/jimtrotter_nfl/status/1448064545243779076?s=21

GoutPatrol posted:Wouldn't this depend on how much he will be paid to shut up and not speak up again? He isn’t getting a buyout on his contract, it’s been terminated for cause so he loses out on all the future earnings. And yeah ultimately I’d imagine he does a couple interviews with the usual suspects but probably keeps a low profile beyond that. Who can say for sure these days though

Traxis posted:lmao I mean, same, but Olbermann seems like the lesser of two evils here. The only reason to dislike Olbermann playing gatekeeper here is that 1) Rovell is probably just happy having more clicks and 2) Rovell will never, ever become a better human being in any appreciable way.

Did Rovell ever do real journalism or is it all just press releases from brands and tweeting fake numbers about how much value a viral shot of a logo made a company?

He used to do actual articles on contracts and how things impacted the business side. Some of them were actually interesting. He just got drowned in the koolaid like 10 years or so ago.

Yeah early Rovell was honestly a good and rare look into how a lot of licensing contracts worked.Sinteres posted:Would a morals clause really encompass things he did before he worked there? I feel like he probably got paid to go away, even if it was nowhere near the value of the contract. It's possible. Such clauses could also be a "any current/past actions or items that come to light that reflect negatively on the team..." sort of thing. At the very most, he was paid the rest of this season's pay, but any for-cause terminations usually mean your pay is cut off as soon as that's official.

Once in a while he posts something insightful about business of sports but 99% of the time it’s NFTs or gambling hype.

Rovell is entirely non-essential, but his stuff is merely symptomatic of how hosed the modern business of sports in the western hemisphere are. I don't like his stuff, but I'm pretty sure I could come up with 1,000 things worse about sports coverage than his twitter account. Also, I say western hemisphere, because over in Eurasia you have nations buying up soccer teams to make themselves look good the way Andrew Carnegie used to build libraries so people wouldn't immediately think of how many workers he murdered when they heard his name mentioned. Also^2 - I am really enjoying both Schefter and Shams eat poo poo at the exact same time. Their style of journalism is entirely hosed up, pointless, and actively harmful to journalism.

Dude was a ruthless monopolist who believed in crushing any competition and he also happened to think everyone should have access to books and rich people should give all of their money away. Pieces about him can make for honestly strange reading because of all the contradictions. KICK BAMA KICK posted:He's done like, exactly that before hasn't he? I know I've seen him getting QTed by people not primarily from baseball or even sports about more or less the same thing before.
