The NYT story about emails between NFL legal counsel Jeff Pash with Bruce Allen is far worse for the NFL than the Gruden emails, IMO.
1. Jeff Pash is in Roger Goodell's inner circle and basically disrespecting NFL league policies
2. Goodell has someone in his employ at odds with NFL initiatives to be more inclusive and respectful of diversity, and undermining him
3. Or, Goodell doesn't really buy into the NFL's stated belief in equality and diversity either
4. Dan Snyder has not been called out for anything when we know based on WaPo reporting that he oversaw some bad stuff
Translation: The NFL can scapegoat a Coach who got caught up in an email dragnet, but this reporting from the NYT about Pash and Allen is suggestive of many more league people holding similar views as Gruden.
Unless and until the NFL comes clean - not by issuing worthless statements about how "no other emails were found like Gruden's" even though the NYT story showed similar ones between an NFL executive and Bruce Allen - by releasing the emails to the NFLPA as requested, there is zero reason to believe the NFL that there are no other people in the league who have behaved like Gruden in the NFL.
After reading the detail in the NYT story about Jeff Pash and Bruce Allen's email exchanges, my first conclusion was it sure seems like the NYT and/or WaPo has the 650k emails. Moreover, because there is no way in hell the NFL wanted the communications of these guys made public, it calls into question the theory that Goodell leaked about Gruden. Maybe he did, but someone else gave the NYT the Pash-Allen emails. Seems logical to assume the NYT and/or WaPo has more of them to expose.
