    I am now interested in what the other folks on these emails were writing in their sides of the emails.
    I'm curious about that too. I get the feeling we'll be seeing a lot of redacted emails, however.

    He did. please show me where, cause I haven't seen that.

    Ha... breaking news here... but criminal is not synonymous with black people. But that you accidentally let us know you think it is, tells us a lot about you.

    Urban Meyer is thanking his lucky stars for Jon Gruden. Meyer is out of the headlines for now.

    It's totally fine to both applaud Gruden's resignation AND want that same principle applied to current players who've been credibly accused of domestic violence, child abuse, and criminal threats. But, again, that has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject of this thread.

    See why I hate "whataboutism"?
    No. I'm arguing if you're going to fire one, fire both. If you're not going to fire both, don't fire either.

    Anything less is a double standard and leaves you open to (justified) criticism.

    So you literally are stating "Well, guess we shouldn't punish anyone until we punish everyone then"? Shit, I guess I wasn't exaggerating at all.

    Nope. They fired one, now be consistent fire the other.

    And if they don't, I am justified in criticizing them for being inconsistent.

    Nuance isn't your thing, is it?

    Gruden wasn't even fired, Mr. Nuance. LOL

    If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. LOL

    You dragged this down to a semantic level to argue what you think qualifies as nuance. Now semantics are a bastion of my gullibility? Is this how you often "win" debates - by feinting and deflecting to infuriate your opponent?

    There isn't a debate here. No one.. that I'm aware of is trying to prove their "side" right or wrong.

    As far as I can tell you agree they should fire "pieces of shit", like they did Gruden...

    I do. And apparently you don't, unless they do all of it at the same time.

    I'm arguing that being half right is better than being all wrong.
