John Gruden Pros and Cons

[steeljake]

The fact that so many of the players hate him will be interesting. Those guys usually interview the players the week before thegame to get inside stories for teh brodcast, could be tough for him if all the guys wanna do is snub him.

I don't know his pros and cons because I've never heard him broadcast before.

LOL at "so many players"

Like 3 guys came out and said he was a dick.

Besides, a lot of players hate media types.. they are required to talk to them though, it's in their contract.

So many players!?!?!?! Keyshawn, Kennan McCardell, Joe Jurevicius and Jeff Garcia. Didn't know 4 guys equated to "so many."

So he's going to coach, and broadcast? How?

[RyanLeaf16]

You forgot Simeon Rice and Chris Simms. Derrick Brooks smiles, but you can see some animosity behind his face. I'm sure there's more.

Sim caused his own issues - just like Keyshawn. Chris Simms was a arrogant kid who refused to listen to his position coach and head coach. 6'5" Chris "never had an issue with batted balls." Just ask him.

Your "sure there's more." You have no sources or verifiable proof, but, you are just sure...you sound like a Duemig lemming.

It is not so much to come to his defense. It is more about calling people out who try assert conjecture as knowledge and pass it off as if they know what they are talking about. I'm basically calling the guy out. All he can say is he didn't like Gruden because he didn't like his offensive philosophy and that he is sure that Derrick Brooks doesn't like him because "he can see it in his face."

Grudens an asshole. He could never be real with his players and that's why quite a few of them spoke out against him and how he caught his bad rep. Did you not hear what he did to NFL Network how he verbally commited to a contract with them and then had his agent go try and get a better deal with ESPN? You can't blame him for looking out for himself but that is his way of doing things and it's a dick way. He's got talent though as a broadcaster and will make things exciting. Just don't like him as a person.

Another guy with his head squarely lodged up Big Dog's ass.

Haha, and you must be one of the many guys who drank the "Gruden Punch" when he came to Tampa. Hey, at least he won you a Super Bowl.

Pro: He's not Kornheiser.

Game over.
