darin3 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) He actually has himself a case. * Note: by no means am I excusing him from the idiotic things he said, but legally he has some recourse.

His case is why is his the only messages that got leaked? While it doesn't classify as defamation of character, it is somewhat similar if the goal was to damage his reputation.

purplemonster Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 "There was no explanation or justification for why Gruden's emails were made public out of the 650,000 emails collected in the NFL's investigation of the Washington Football Team or why the emails were held for months before being released in the middle of the Raiders' season." Sounds like somebody didnt like Chucky. My assumption is that they'd need to know who released it. Even if they find it was a NFL higher up, not sure it is actionable because other people were on the email chain and they could have released the emails with impunity as well, with or without an investigation. Gruden was a non-NFL employee writing to his buddies. Not surprised he's suing, don't know the law well enough to say. Seems fairly clear it was an orchestrated effort to get this info into the public realm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a negative experience at Starbucks, the ceo is under fire, even though it may have been some part time teenager making 10 bucks an hour . If there is a negative interaction with a police offer the victim sues the city and the department (not the individual responsible for the interaction) So, as long as the leak came from the nfl, I think he has a case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct which is why the lawsuit says "NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One does not need to be an attorney or legal expect to offer an informed opinion. His argument is basically "you reviewed all these emails, and only leaked information about mine to the media." He may have a case, could even win and get some $$ but it won't restore his job or reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that goes without saying and seriously doubt his intent is to do either. My thought is that he wants to pull back the curtain or, at the very least, make it a little painful for the NFL. Say what you want about Gruden as a person, but I'm hoping the NFL has thrown it's final stone and gets some real exposure for a change. He seems just the guy to do it with the right motivation. I just doubt he has the firepower to really take them on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's carry on to our usual football talk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 This is nothing more than Gruden getting a TON of money from the NFL. There is NO WAY this thing ever gets to court. He's gonna get paid big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why either party really wants any more emails released, this sounds like a settlement out of court. Clearly the NFL is not interested in transparency surrounding the WFT investigation, only leaking emails about Gruden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millworkguy Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 So a judge just rejected the nfl motion to dismiss the charges and has it moved to arbitration where Goodall would be able to be the sole arbitrator and have the final decision. Imagine the balls, you make a complaint against your former employers organization and then they ask a court for the right to settle the matter internally, after being a large part of why you left https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33983514/judge-denies-nfl-motions-dismiss-jon-gruden-lawsuit-move-arbitration%3fplatform=amp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a problem with Goodell adjudicating a case potentially involving Goodell? He would be so objective though. Damn NFL, they really do think we are fools. I mean, I get it, it is a business, and they definitely don't want to go to discovery, where the Washington Commander's scandal may get blown further into the public eye. If this ruling stands, I think all Chucky needs is the threat of a trial and I'd imagine he's in for a big pay day out of court if he wants it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stethant Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 If Gruden manages to unravel this whole stinking mess, more power to him. His take-down makes little sense. There is something rather important we are missing here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm hoping for is a realization that Goodell is a slimeball that needs to be ousted. There are plenty of good people within the NFL that could do his job at a fraction of the price and not act dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
