After one of Jon Gruden's racist-laden email exchanges with his NFL buddy Bruce Allen was made public last week, the good old boy spent the weekend hoping his lame-ass non-apology apologies, tone-deaf denials, and meaningless self-deprecation would be enough to allow him to slither forward and retain his position as coach of the Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland-Las Vegas Raiders football team.
When further excavation and publication of the seven-year trove of emails Monday added sexism, transphobia, homophobia, and disregard for player safety to the list of his written offenses, he resigned with six years left on his 10-year, $10 million contract.
