Don't stress yet, it is only the preseason.  I'm sure once the regular season starts they will lose a lot more.  

I'm just messing with ya, only having some fun.

Another big news day on the NFL front, this time about the continuing saga between the league and former head coach Jon Gruden.  Gruden scored a big win this week when the Nevada Supreme Court ruled in his favor that he can go forward with his civil lawsuit against the league, and do it publicly. This makes the league potentially vulnerable to public humiliation, especially Goodell.  If what comes out in discovery shows that Goodell is the one who was behind the leaking of Gruden's emails, the fallout could be huge.  

Two options now for the NFL to avoid this going to court.  One, the league has the option to appeal the ruling (they will), so it could be heard by the US Supreme Court.  Popular opinion is that the odds of the Supreme Court taking the case are slim.  Option two, the NFL offers Gruden an absurd amount of money, plus the chance to coach in the NFL again, in return for him not going to court.  Basically, a settlement.  However, Gruden appears to be holding such a grudge against the league that he has said no amount of money will be enough and he intends to "burn the house down," in his case against the NFL.  If the Supreme Court does not take the case (or if they take it and rule in favor of Gruden), then the question is, will Gruden stick to his word or will the NFL make such a great offer he can't refuse it?  

Oh it's getting spicy!

It could be worse, at least you are not a Jets fan.  The Cowboys have only sucked for 30 years.  The Jets have sucked for over 50.

Pre-Season game #2 is a done deal for my wife’s Raiders with a pre-season record of 0-1-1.

Yesterday we went to the one and only 2025 pre-season game as the Raiders hosted the 49ers; red shirts were everywhere.

Both teams battled back and forth with 1 TD each along with the rest being field goals. Stadium was nearly sold-out.

For a second there, I surrendered to another tie game. BUT Nnnnoooooooooooo!! With a 49ers interception with under a minute to play, the 49ers began their drive. However, 3 plays later, the 49ers were driving…backwards!!

The tie I was hoping for, after all, a tie is better than a lose…I suppose, was not to be.

With 3 seconds, if my memory serves me well, the 49ers split the uprights with a 58 yard field goal for the ‘W’.

Final score: 49ers 22…Raiders 19

It was a great game!!

GO COWBOYS!! (Cowboys lost their 2nd pre-season game yesterday to the Ravens: 31-13…we got smashed)
