When the midiclorians finally decide to end Jerry’s time on this plane of existence, we’re gonna find out his will leaves total control of the franchise to Throatzilla.

Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:The idea of Gruden's emails being leaked to be a "distraction" is kinda dumb and doesn't make sense on any level. Also that's not how the 24 hour news cycle works. True, I'm too cynical about corporations doing good things I guess.

Before the season started Marc Sessler of the ATN podcast made a prop bet that an NFL coach would resign and there'd be a major story involving an NFL cheerleader lol.

His bet was legit the first thing I thought of with Urban. Then obviously with Gruden. Sessler is right once every few years and it's a terrifying power. He also guessed correctly (regardless of what the other hosts say) that a game would be relocated a few years ago.

I don’t think Carr likes Gruden much, since Gruden’s been wanting to move on from Carr since he got there. Remember when Gruden wanted to start Peterman over Carr? And Peterman’s still loving there.

Gruden had been there for 4 years and had not drafted a QB in any round and Carr is a top ten quarterback who has improved every year under Gruden’s system Gruden loves qbs but Peterman had been the only backup QB since Mariota has been hurt (which is always)

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:That and Carr is pretty religious, isnt he? So he's probably doing the Good Christian thing of loving people despite their faults. That was my thinking but I didn't know for sure if he was a devout Christian Rod Hoofhearted posted:I don’t think Carr likes Gruden much, since Gruden’s been wanting to move on from Carr since he got there. I..I don't remember this. Maybe my memory is faulty but I thought he was doing typical "I need to figure poo poo out" coachspeak when he first got there. Though my Raiders buddies in real life bitched a lot (despite seeing the reality of not having Carr would be across the street in the Broncos).

Nah I think Carr's exactly this type of religious fundie not actually paying attention to anything dweeb who actually thinks that. Or at least he wants to be perceived that way for reasons I don't understand. That article is hard to get through without rolling your eyes so hard they fall out of your head. I mean I'm not even going to subject anyone to quoting anything from it, click on that link and that's on you.

Efb Hmmmm https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/09/03/derek-carr-nearly-quit-football-to-preach-before-rookie-season-with-raiders/ quote:“In my heart, I’d never had this feeling where I was so overcome with my thoughts that I was like, ‘I can’t do anything right now,’” Carr said as he sat at a table in the lounge of an East Bay hotel. “The thought was, ‘You need to stop playing football and preach.’”

I'm not sure I understand why we're talking about Jerry Jones when most of this is involving Dan "expired airline food at concession stands" Snyder.

People never stopped speculating that Gruden hated Carr from the jump. Whether or not there was anything to it was the question.

I honestly didn't know too much about Gruden's actual football history aside from him winning a Super Bowl in Tampa - but man I read that Barnwell article about what he did to the Raiders and lol. Bill Barnwell posted:Gruden's second act with the Raiders was an unqualified failure. Focusing solely on his work over the past few years, it was a failure in exactly the ways we would have expected based on his time in Tampa Bay. He did a solid job of running the offense and got just about everything else wrong. Virtually every one of his significant personnel decisions turned out to be a mistake. He dismantled the organization and turned the core he inherited into pennies on the dollar. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32395294/jon-gruden-built-bad-raiders-roster-why-tenure-was-disaster-other-nfl-teams-learn-next

The band originally consisted of Brad Arnold (lead vocals, drums), Matt Roberts (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Todd Harrell (bass guitar). The band rose to international fame with their first single, "Kryptonite", which placed in the top three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band then signed with Republic Records and released their debut album, The Better Life, in 2000. The album was the 11th-best-selling album of the year and was certified 6x platinum in the United States.
