Going "you can't fire me I quit" about 11 seconds before you were about to get fired is hilarious

Almost as hilarious as Rob Liefeld faxing his resignation into the meeting where he was being fired.

 

[Tschumi]

I can only guess some of his players made it pretty clear that it wasn't acceptable.. shame that the Raiders are losing him during a period of stability and effectiveness but whaddaya gonna do

[Hinedorf]

Dave Chappelle called it! You can disparage black people all you want but the gays will get you cancelled every time.

Yesterday story about a black mans lips and there's black men on TV defending Gruden isn't a racist

Today you hear stuff about homophobic comments....... no longer employed

NFL employs the services of domestic abusers and no one gives a ****. Tyreke Hill and Ezekiel Elliott are lionized today.

Mean private emails from a decade ago leak and that's too much.




The NFL is woke garbage.

 

[Tschumi]

I agree re: wife beaters, i think it's a double standard, don't think it's woke especially, he apparently also said shit about gays and imo he should get fired for being an idjit at least as much as hurtful lol

 

[EverydayBeast]

Sucks that Gruden’s racist emails happened and I would have liked to have seen the evidence I mean it’s 2021 we launch people in Space and you can’t show us an NFL’s coach raciest email? That said, let’s say this is a good decision for Las Vegas Raiders, everybody knows you ain’t beating KC, Mahomes will get 150+ TDs in the next three seasons, and your quarterback could be a backup by December.

i don't know much, but i think i'm learning that it was the NFL that was leaking the emails and they were going to continue leaking them until he got canned, i might be like TOTALLY WRONG about that, I'll try to look into it more.

Apparently it wasn't just one/a few emails, and it wasn't just one 'brand' of bad behavior, apparently he was just a general dickhead about a lot of things

just wanna reiterate tho, i don't like the league's stance on wife beating vs. their stance on racism and homophobia. players like Hill and Antonio Brown should be out.. I mean, Michael Vick got fucked for dog fighting, why is Tyreek Hill catching passes ?

This is one of the longer reaches I've seen. The Zeke and Tyreke aren't management. If Gruden was arrested for domestic abuse, he'd be fired all the same. Players aren't being forced out of the league for past emails either.

At the end of the day, there's no need to feel sorry for people getting crushed by their own actions. What happened to Gruden is people got to see what he really thinks, and it's not the kind of stuff you want to hear from a person responsible for managing a large number players of the very ethnicity he was mocking. And he works with LGBTQ people, so not cool there either.

In many ways, this is more embarrassing and stupid than Bobby Petrino's motorcycle adventure. Everyone should know in the 2000s that emails are not private. Talking all reckless in emails is just dumb. There's nothing gained other than a sick burn among like-minded cohorts. But the risk is the same as Petrino crashing his motorcycle with a woman who wasn't his wife. At least he was getting to smash a former volleyball player he'd hired. At least he was getting something out of it. And who can forget that cherry-faced, neck-braced comedy show presser from Petrino. If you're going to disgrace yourself, put some fucking effort in.

People aren't "crushed for their own actions". They're deliberately targeted and removed by bitter, miserable people who have no knowledge of the human condition.

Have you ever spent any time with guys playing sports? Awful shit is said all the time because masculine culture is so much different than feminine culture.

Randy Moss isn't crying because his soul hurts. He's been around people, and said things many times worse than what Gruden typed 11 years ago. He's crying because the cameras are on him and he's spiteful. He's crying because he's trying to fill a void with hate. We saw people on 9/11 hold it together better than Randy Moss and his female cohost did. It's a pathetic act.

That being said, Jon Gruden is a millionaire many times over and coaches get fired all the time. I'm probably not spending my time wisely by defending him.

This is modern day McCarthyism perpetuated by people who insist they're not in a cult.

Feels more like modern day Salem witch trials to me, but that's probably splitting hairs at this point.

is it safe to say that you object to most of the performers lined up for this year's half time show? I don't want to see them cancelled, but if we're being intellectually honest and impartial, most of them have publicly said much worse.

 

[ManaByte]

But of course they're keeping the murderers, rapists, wife beaters, and child abusers.

Of his former coach, Carr said: "I love the man, [but] you hate the sin. No one's perfect."​

Welcome back to the fun part of NFL!

PREDICTIONS WEEK 6!

Score going in:
Tschumi = 61.25%
Nobody_Important = 68.75%
ThatStupidLion = 62.5%
Elpidio Valdés = 68.75 ​

It's a close race in the pedictions stakes this season!

Eagles - Buccaneers - Easy to predict this one... Which means it's a perfect time for the Bucs to fuck up!
Jaguars - Dolphins - I dunno, you take what you get and I just wish the best for the Jags. But if you take the QB outta the equation it's clear which team has the better lineup, and I think Tua will have more influence than Lawrence, as far as it goes.
Panthers - Vikings - McCaffrey out for third straight game, Dalvin Cook due back, cousins might get sacked too much but i think injuries are going to be influential.
Ravens - Chargers - Again, I'll have to look more deeply into this, but going in I think the Chargers have more weapons across the board and a fitter allround defense than the Colts had.
Gianst - Rams - Nailed on, sorry Jonesy.
Colts - Texans - The Colts did well until injuries let Jackson look like an elite passer, I still worry that they'll give Davis Mills a lot of room to air it, but he isn't quite the same kind of threat. Cooks should get more some points for Fantasy though, I deem.
WhFT - Chiefs - I sincerely doubt the Chiefs will let this keep happening. WHffffT have given the fifrth most passing yards away and have very few sacks, i think it's a recipe for success for wheremahomesat
Bears - Packers - I don't think the Pack is invincible but I do think they've got enough weapons to keep giving Rodgers looks and I don't think the Bears can hold them out enough.
Lions - Bengals - Feeling sorry for Goff, I think it's entirely possible that he's getting the same Lions curse that Stafford got for all those years. He's a better QB than results show. I think the Bengals' questionable running game could make them predictable and give the Lions a shot.
Browns - Cardinals - I'll have a look at the Card's run D but I feel like Kyler Murray has taken over from Carr as the invisible MVP candidate this season and I think their problem solving capacity is huge. If the Brows win this, though, they're legit.
Patriots - Cowboys - This is damn hard, what a fantastic chance to see what Bill and the Pats can do, but I think the Cowboys are just a more fully matured team atm.
Broncos - Raiders - I don't know how the Raiders will bounce back from losing their HC but it'd be hard to pick them this week. I'll look at injuries.
Steelers - Seahawks - Wilson is out for the first time in history, I don't think the Hawks can overcome this.
Titans - Bills - the Bills are unbackable favourites to coin an international betting term, I think, I mean the Titans have a shot but the Bills are putting way too many points on the board this season.

Let's goooooo!

 

[Tschumi]

Ahh that's it, reverse all predictions, he's tempted fate the packers are gonna lose

Aaron Rodgers runs out of time when trying to recall all of the Bears QBs since 2008

Despite Aaron Rodgers' great talents, even he had trouble remembering all the starting quarterbacks who have come through Chicago since 2008.

[Elpidio Valdés]

Dang I was close last week, freaking NI lol.

Mr. Sixth Round (yuck) deflates the Eagles
Tua returns, sexily dances in the sidelines and enchants Meyer and the Jaguars
Aaron the Hollywood nailer, hibernates the Bears
Dan the Manimal Campbell (wish the Dolphins had kept him) mauls the Bengals to pieces
The Colt revolver is too powerful for the weak Texans
The Rams run rough shot over the hospital filled Giants
The Chiefs tribe conquers Washington
Erik the Red Cousins sends Sam Darnold's Panthers running for the hills
The Ravens pick apart Justin TDS Herbert
Arizona burns hot and sends the Browns home with their underwears brown
Broncos send mean emails and the soft Raiders buckle under pressure (Al Davis is weeping)
Jerry Jones Cowboys sting operation is a success against the massage lover's team.
Pittsburgh against Gino Smith lmao - don't make me laugh
The Bills have always been Tannehill's daddies, the ownage continues

and normal service is resumed.

 

[Tschumi]

i start getting a feeling... maybe in the last 5 or so years college teams have really figured out how to make QBs peak early, while they're in college, and the NFL teams are kinda slow to realise that players who look like they're destined to blossom are already kinda capped out... this is what watching Hurts brings to mind, he's a bit small, maybe they thought he could carry it but maybe he just maximised what he had...
