Now that that part is over...be gone
But it is incredibly interesting
...listening to ESPN refer to Gruden as 'nfl hc'...
Like he wasn't an ESPN employee at the time
Not to digress, but I think some people missed a major part of the Rachel Nichols story
She wasn't criticizing Maria Taylor
She was criticizing ESPN
...not the exact quote, but she described ESPN executives as YT male privileged Trump supporters...
The Gruden story solidifies that
Gruden not only had one of the most coveted sports jobs calling MNF
ESPN also gave him his own feature...Gruden's quarterback camp
That would fit the brand that Rachel was criticizing
Along with having Ryan Smith host Get Up on Tuesday
...but anyway...

Somebody was sitting on these emails
What was released to date were during Gruden's time at ESPN
Motivation? What is there to gain from this
Opportunity? Who could be behind
Gain? Who gains the most from this

ESPN is so entrenched with the NFL, I can't see how this benefits the network, or why ESPN would want to do this
Obviously, they had the opportunity

The story feels like a rabbit hole, with +600K emails between some pretty big names

Really interested in seeing how the story progresses from here
I just hope people don't settle for Gruden being gone
Feels like there is so much more here.
