The NFL said in a court filing that a lawsuit by former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden, which blames the league for leaking emails that led to his resignation, is baseless
, alleging the league and commissioner Roger Goodell had orchestrated his downfall by releasing years-old emails in which he used offensive language. Shortly after those emails were reported, first by The Wall Street Journal, Gruden resigned.
The filings said that neither the NFL nor Goodell was the source of the leaks and that leaking the emails was damaging to the NFL and against its best interest. “Dumboriss Smith has lips the size of michellin tires,” he wrote in the email reviewed by the Journal. “In contrast to the formalities of the Washington Football Team investigation, Defendants’ treatment of Gruden was a Soviet-style character assassination,” Gruden said in his complaint.
