I'm no fan of Gruden, but this case deserves to be tried in an open court.

I’m not a big Gruden fan, but he is getting screwed on this. He deserves a chance to fight this out in court.

I hope Gruden does not let this go.

This case needs to go to the US Supreme Court. Get out of Nevada

I stand with Gruden

The NFL paid off the Nevada S.C.

This is why I watch pft because Mike tells the truth about the nfl. Subscriber for life

Raiders started 3-0 that year, then the emails came out. Think about it . . .

Gruden deserves this resolved in the Courts .. in Arbitration the NFL will get the confidentiality they denied Gruden. Horrible.

Considering that the Nevada government approved the public funding for the Raiders stadium, this does not surprise me.

Mike: I will not talk that long *25min later* Mike: thanks for watching PFT on KZfaq

Great show Mike! Always good to get different stories that don't just cover the "Sport" of Football but also those stories that cover the "Business" of the NFL. Show Me the Money!

Makes no sense to make it go to arbitration. He was not an employee of the NFL when the emails were sent. This about the targeted nature of this investigation. In all honesty forced arbitration should be illegal.

These segments are the ones that keep me watching Florio. Appreciate the legal insight.

Under no circumstances should anyone use someone’s emails period. 5th amendment applies here. No exceptions! What The NFL did was egregious and they should pay a shit ton fine. We have a right to our own thoughts and feelings no exceptions PERIOD!

Off of the best segments from Florio, especially the “integrity of the game” part of it. Thanks Mike.

This is an absolute masterclass of breaking down the intricacies of this situation.

This is a lot bigger issue than the Gruden thing. The person who had the emails "Blackmailed" the Raiders into firing Gruden and that person was obviously someone high up in the league office because only they had access to these files. The real issue is that the Gruden blackmail was public and whoever released those emails cud also be using them to blackmail people in private. It is possible that the NFL cud use that info or any other that they use their wide net to obtain to force people in the NFLPA to do what they want or force a certain owner to vote the way they want. No one even considers if these emails were used to "convince" Daniel Snyder to sell the Commanders. Companies constantly use dirty tactics to gain any advantage they can and it really looks like the Nevada supreme court ruled with the money not the law but even our Federal Supreme Court is a joke now. To be honest I have thought Gruden was a clown since that MNF football game where he hated on COlt Mccoy the whole night just to deflect from the fact his brother is a clown who got the starter alex smith hurt because the normal pass pro back smashed his side chick and got benched. Whats funny is I used to watch college cuz I thought they were better people than the NFL then I realized they are both horrible so I might as well watch the better product but ever since the Ben Rothlesburger thing I have known that the NFL is an evil company just like a lot of the rest. Tbh I think the whole gambling take is crazy cuz I doubt if it was Snyder or Goodell they wudnt want to bring any attention that they were responsible by making any bets, the only way that gambling cud be involved is if the person who had the info wasnt part of the league and if that was the case the NFL wud be a lot more interested in finding out who "really did it"

Outrageous ruling. Gruden isn't a saint, but the behavior of the NFL in this case is egregious. Gruden deserves his day in open court. We need to know how this came down and who was responsible.

Great breakdown Mike! Im always amazed the NFL allows you to have a job!

This case is not over. Grudens team will appeal to not go thru arbitration cuz Goodell is the case & jury here literally, the nfl will anticipate this will be heard by higher courts. Far from over!

So,...we can count on justice not being served.

Billionaire is under investigation, millionaire pays the price. Sounds like "trickle down" economics to me 😂

Thank you for plainly explaining what happened without bias or coloring.

I hope Gruden wins, Goodell is a crook

Great breakdown. Lot of nuances about the case that has never been discussed

This is why I watch florio

Thank you for doing this video…. Absolutely correct. There is no integrity in the game at all.

Thank you for this mike. This is why you’re the best

For an organization that keeps asking for public funds to build their stadiums they should be scrutinized more for how they wield the power that they have.

Such an informative video. Thank you very much. Mike!

Thanks Mike much appreciated

Dammit, Florio! I watched all the way to the end. I want a cookie! What do you mean, "That's just something people say?" Where's your integrity, man? Obviously, I kid. Mike Florio has more integrity than 99% of anybody in sports broadcasting, and I appreciate it. Bravo, to Florio. Well said. I want this resolved in open court. The Gruden thing, not the lack of a cookie, which I still think Florio owes me. SEND ME A COOKIE MIKE!!! :)

Gruden deserves his day in court. Especially because of how he was specifically targeted and his job and season was deliberately sabotaged. The NFL is shady as hell and based on how this was executed, they should get what they deserve also.

Gruden should get around 200 million

Mike thanks for breaking it down and predicting probable future outcomes you made it interesting

Raider Nation since 1967: Thank you for the excellent and thorough explainer. I am extremely concerned about the apparent corruption within the hierarchy of the NFL.

This reminds me of Sam Rothstein getting jobbed by the Gambling Commission in casino.😂😂😂

The 4th ammendment violated, total hit job on Gruden, bottom line, never use electronic messaging, FACE TO FACE OR DON'T SAY IT TYPE IT....

Great stuff, as always Sir!! Keep the legal analyses flowing!

I agree with the point that who ever was behind this, took a giant crud on the integrity of the game.

The business interest of the state will trump whats right or wrong. No one will want to do business in Nevada if the Nevada Supreme court sides with Gruden over a corporation. The jdges couldn't care less about whats right or wrong, they are there to protect Nevada's interests.

As soon as SkyNet becomes self aware, they will be busting people for what they are thinking.

i actually agree with mike Florio on this to a degree!!!

The Michelin tire email was pretty funny tho ngl

Sports + Business + Law + Politics!!! Great job, Florio!!

Speaking of emails - What is email for PFT PM? I'd like to ask him a question. Not easy to find. Thanks.

I don’t support Gruden nor do I ever want him back as coach, but he got hosed with this decision, and the wildest part of it is 1 of the 3 judges didn’t feel like it should have gone to arbitration

Nice analysis. I know the legal details, being a lawyer as well, but the gambling aspect I did not see! So, thanks Mike!

I want this to go to open court. That being said, I believe that Dan Snyder leaked the emails. Jay Gruden was a former DC coach who testified against Snyder-- so Snyder decided to be petty and shifted the spotlight.

Excellent points made,2 tier justice system, I'll be hoping Gruden gets his day in court, but I believe our judicial system is SO BROKEN ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

AMAZING IN DEPTH analysis !!! THANK YOU !!!

Great job Mike!!!!!

Thanks for breaking it down for us as only you can. Keep being you Mike. Your awesome.

As a lawyer i cannot see any basis for this ruling …it’s very troubling…there has to be due process or the rule of law looses its centrality in society. Mike great analysis, what about a class action by fans as people of interest. That will force a hearing and remind the NFL what this is all about ….the fans without them the NFL is nothing. It matters that the game is fair and no team is unduly hampered in a season.

Tells us he's not gonna "talk long". Does a 25+ minute video breaking down JG and these snowflakes.

Roger Goodell has been in the NFL since 1987 and commissioner since 2006. That is 37 and 18 years respectively. There is the old joke about who is the most paid person in the NFL and everyone always picks a player but no one gets the right answer which is Goodell. Money and power can cause the best of us to become corrupt. Goodell could have an open settlement with Gruden and fired whoever leaked this but he will not. NFL owners only care about the profits and appearance of integrity yet a change of guard is always needed to counter potential corruption and shadiness. As for Gruden's emails, people fake alarm over things people say yet they say the same sh1t but that's another issue or worse. Nonetheless, I hope Gruden gets a reasonable settlement.

6:57 I love how Mike breaks down the logic behind these processes. I work in IT so this is not my day to day.

I appreciate your time on breaking down the Gruden/NFL legal spat

First of all, thank you for bringing this back into light. I’m with Gruden and hope he follows through. I thought this case was against the commanders owner. Toxic work environment and other complaints. The only thing that comes out is about John Gruden? I’ve always said the commissioner has way too much power! Does the commissioner have to answer to anyone other than the owners?

Bring this to court. I want to see all the emails with Bruce Allen.

Jon knew this would happen. Just wait and see what Gruden does next. This will be iconic.

I don't always agree with Mike's takes but when he hits, his stuff is outstanding. This was incredibly well thought out and presented.

We need a lose/lose ruling in this matter

Thank you for breaking it down for us. Please keep us up-to-date with this news when it comes.

Excellent breakdown of the case where it stands and what could happen in the future. Keep up the good work.

As a sports fan law student this was a fascinating segment. I had no idea you have a legal background. It'd be cool to see more content like this.

Great review of the case and issues. Thank you.

The panel of the NV Supreme Court really twisted and tortured this process. I'd like to know if Gruden's attorneys raised the fundamental unfairness of having a totally biased "arbitrator". Arbitration is a quasi-judicial process and it violates Due Process to have a party (e.g. defendant) also be the arbitrator/judge. That's like having Elon Musk as the arbitrator in a lawsuit against Tesla. I haven't read enough of SCOTUS arbitration decisions, but I'd have to think there is some FLOOR beneath which Due Process in arbitrations cannot fall.

Florio.... You are the MAN with this stufff!!!!

Hats off to you Mike. You have integrity>

I think the core point is whether the motive for removing Gruden was to protect the integrity of the game, which seems plausible. Notwithstanding, I think this is a great video.

I'm going to get an oatmeal cookie. Wonderful breakdown.

Never write an email you wouldnt want to see the light of day. No privacy on the internet.

I'm no lawyer, but he has real damages! Making him accept arbitration sucks.

You know, I had totally forgotten about this case. And it was very interesting to hear the breakdown. I'm not a huge fan of Gruden, but *man* would it be interesting to see everything out in the open. I'd be very curious to see what kind of dirt lies in all those emails. And thank you!! This was well worth the watch!

While I think Gruden deserved to be fired and Im glad the emails were leaked, I still think he should get his chance in court.

NFL just needs their own department of defense to be legit. Gruden is getting screwed again. 😑

I love that Mike can take a step back see stuff for what it is and not just jump on the train what the mass is saying. great job as always

How can private emails be deemed inappropriate? It’s between 2 individuals communicating

The NFL is a very powerful entity and they feel like they can do whatever they want. In this case they went way to far, ruining a man's career and reputation. We all know those emails have other people that would be cancelled also. This was a personal attack on Gruden and the Raiders. This needs to see OPEN COURT.

Thank you for the rundown.

This company misconduct does not seem like a national issue other than the company is a national franchise.

This was a really good breakdown

I’ve been waiting on anything from this, thank you Mike, gruden deserves justice, got blackballed for not being a yes man

God I hope Gruden wins

Florio is awesome! Love his take on legal issues in sports.

Thanks for sharing.

This needs to go to court so we can see how dirty the NFL is. Most Corporations are doing the same thing to push out whoever they deem undesirable or not conforming to their ideology.

This is good information. As a St. Louis fan, I loathe the NFL and hope they get what's coming to them in the way of Congressional oversight.

Justice for John!

Not sure how I feel about the whole Gruden part of this but your point about the integrity of the game was really good. I think solely for that, this deserves to be tried in open court

We need an attorney to explain all this... Screw the behind honking to writing the above. . .

He should appeal to scotus or re-file in federal court if the case isn’t barred by the SOL. You want federal judges hearing this case and not state court located in a state heavily influenced by an NFL team

I don't care how it's made... But I want nothing to do with the Justice Sausage.

Why does a non employee have to go to arbitration? The fix is in definitely.

I've seen a lot of players talking about the Gruden emails and none of them think he was secretly racist and should have been fired.

Got what he deserved? I get you’re not trying to piss off the people who would be upset about you defending gruden but the people he was talking to didn’t file a complaint about the language being offensive and everyone who knows gruden say he’s one of the nicest dudes they ever met. Locker room talk isn’t always clean but that’s the way you conduct yourself among friends. If an outside observer ever read one of your private group chats with your best friends and they took offense to it would you get what you deserved if you lost everything because something you said 13 years ago in a private message with people who clearly have mutual respect for each other was leaked at your job?

Great job explaining this 👏

The fact that the NFL has its own constitution; should give most a hard pause to stop and think, why? It would appear as though the NFL Constitution reigns supreme over the US Constitution when it comes to litigation with this decision from the NV Supreme Court. Florio did a brilliant job in breaking down the political partisanship aspects of the various courts.
