Chapter 1: What is Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the NFL about?

0.031 - 16.684 Boomer Esiason

Here is your John Gruden update. And this is nuts. So the headline is John Gruden's attorneys. Seek testimony from Roger Goodell, owners.

0

17.165 - 18.547 Gregg Giannotti

Yeah, this is all about discovery.

0

19.027 - 41.698 Boomer Esiason

This is not where the NFL, the owners, and Roger Goodell want to go. So, John Gruden's attorneys will seek testimony from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and at least four current and former NFL owners in his lawsuit over whether the league leaked the emails that forced his departure as Raiders head coach. So...

0

41.813 - 70.329 Boomer Esiason

Gruden's list includes, to summon, Goodell, former NFL counsel Jeff Pasch, former Commander's owner Dan Snyder, Raiders owner Mark Davis, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Patriots owner Bob Kraft. Gruden's list also includes designees of the Jets, the Giants, the Seahawks, and the Dolphins. Well, I wonder why that is. I don't know.

Chapter 2: Who are the key figures involved in Gruden's lawsuit?

70.87 - 76.955 Boomer Esiason

That's interesting. So... So explain to me, because... This is all about discovery.

0

76.975 - 92.666 Gregg Giannotti

It's all about getting guys in front of microphones and being asked questions, embarrassing questions about different things. And so, to me, I told you that he is incredibly competitive. Now, this isn't on the football field. This is in life. And his reputation was ruined.

0

92.866 - 95.732 Boomer Esiason

Yeah. Yeah, so this is my question.

0

Chapter 3: What does discovery mean in the context of Gruden's case?

95.915 - 116.644 Boomer Esiason

Is this, like you're saying, competitive, like running a play? Is this the play where they're expecting because they don't want to do this and he's throwing Kraft and he's throwing Jones and he's throwing Snyder in there? All these guys that the NFL is like, we can't do this. Here's a settlement. Let's finally talk settlement.

0

116.744 - 134.848 Gregg Giannotti

Yeah, I don't know. It's gotten to a point now where he's really relevant because of his relationship with Barstool. He's back in the mix. He's back in the media. He's doing his thing. Really interesting situation here. I mean, he can either go full nuclear, which it feels like he's doing. Yeah.

0

136.027 - 146.139 Gregg Giannotti

Or there is some sort of at least repayment of the salary that he lost from the Vegas Raiders when neither he stepped away or they fired him.

0

146.58 - 155.35 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, or whatever, how that happened. And these emails were while he was an analyst. He wasn't working for an NFL team at that time.

0

155.571 - 178.614 Gregg Giannotti

I can't get into a man's head. All I know is that... Just imagine that you're John Gruden, and we all love him as a coach. I love them as an analyst. His intensity is shown even more so now today with Barstool because you see the real John Gruden there. Sure. And I think that they have embraced him, and they've given him a platform to kind of rebuild who he was, which is great.

178.854 - 199.614 Gregg Giannotti

But I also think that this is his opportunity, and I would liken it very much to what's going on in politics in our country these days. Okay. Where you're going to go after me, you're going to ruin me, you're going to try to embarrass me, you're going to try to do all this stuff to me and my family. Guess what? Now it's my turn to get my pound of flesh back, if you will.

200.355 - 201.196 Gregg Giannotti

That's what it feels like.

201.657 - 220.624 Boomer Esiason

Yeah. By the way, you can get in a man's head. You were in my head today, and you got a bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. You were in my head. So you might not be able to get in Gruden's head. Right. You got in my head. Well, you were in there dancing around. I sit next to you every morning. You were dancing around. You better be able to get in your head. Yeah. So just, I mean, I...

221.718 - 237.482 Boomer Esiason

I don't think, and this is tough because there's just a lot of things we don't know about this, but it doesn't seem to me like the NFL and Roger Goodell would have orchestrated the leak of the emails to get Gruden out. It feels like it's Dan Snyder who did it. Yes.

Chapter 4: How does John Gruden's competitive nature influence his lawsuit?

273.625 - 290.714 Gregg Giannotti

If this ever comes out and we knew about it, then we would be just absolutely torched. Yeah. That's the only reason why I think that may have come out is just because if it was in the files – I feel like we're talking about the Jeffrey Epstein's files, right?

0

291.115 - 309.682 Gregg Giannotti

So if it's in the files for Dan Snyder and it's in all those emails that they're going through and they see these emails and they do nothing about it – And then later on, Dan Snyder says, oh, by the way, they knew about the John Gruden emails, and now I'm leaking the emails later on. Yeah.

0

309.822 - 328.603 Boomer Esiason

It's almost like you're in a no-win situation if you're the NFL. Sure. If this were happening in New York, this trial, I would have tried to go. I mean, that would have been the greatest entertainment of all time. Kidding me? Mark Davis sitting up there on the stand, grilling him about these emails? I think it's going to be in Nevada, though. I think I'm pretty sure it's a disaster.

0

328.684 - 333.824 Gregg Giannotti

But are they going to be private? Or are they going to be in the public view?

334.265 - 343.258 Boomer Esiason

I don't know. I just know that I would try to go if it was in New York. Probably be private. I mean, I would think. Quickly, let's go to Eddie in Queens. Eddie, what's happening?

343.278 - 360.822 Eddie

Hey, Boomer, I just heard a quick quip that you dropped about 12 feet of garbage. Well, there is. Well, no, there's not. Well, yes, there is. I just saw it outside. I want to make sure that you're aware that what happens is we pick it up and then a few days later they put it back out.

360.802 - 365.628 Gregg Giannotti

I'm just, all I'm saying is I see 12 foot of garbage. That's all, Eddie. I'm all about the DSNY.

366.128 - 366.689 Unknown

DSNY is great.

Chapter 5: What potential outcomes could arise from Gruden's lawsuit?

408.535 - 410.437 Unknown

All right, well, let's get it done. Let's go.

0

410.457 - 414.822 Eddie

Don't buy into the hype on social media that it's more garbage than usual.

0

415.002 - 424.254 Unknown

Well, let's take pride in what we do around here. Listen, that's what I'm doing. I'm out here taking pride right now, brother. That's what I'm talking about.

0

424.294 - 424.394 Boomer Esiason

Okay.

0

424.814 - 427.478 Eddie

All right. We love you guys. We're on the same page.

427.519 - 432.306 Boomer Esiason

We love you guys, too. Yeah, I happen to love you, Eddie. I'm not sure about Boomer. I happen to love you. Oh, shut up, Gio.

432.326 - 445.285 Eddie

Gio, I know where you stand. Gio, I know where you stand. You don't know where Gio stands on anything because he's always moving a goal post. Sometimes I don't know. I think he's with us, and then once in a while I hear something like that. I go, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm always with you.

445.305 - 448.47 Gregg Giannotti

But by the way, you're spending time talking to me. Who's picking up the garbage?

448.45 - 468.392 Eddie

Ah, boomer. What time is it right now? It's all right. Break time. It's break time right now. Break time? I don't have a break, William. Come on. I had to make a quick phone call. But, you know, listen, I love you guys, and you're the best. But try to, you know, keep that in mind. We're listening when you drop a question. Oh, we know you're listening. That's why we always drop.
