NFL news: Jon Gruden wins bigs step against league

Jon Gruden 2, NFL 0.

The former Las Vegas Raiders coach had a hearing at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas on Wednesday morning in an attempt to have his lawsuit against the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell proceed as a trial. The league was fighting to make it an arbitration case.

The court quickly ruled in favor of Gruden, who was present in the courtroom. Goodell was not.

The court then moved to hear the NFL’s case to dismiss the lawsuit completely. Gruden won that motion as well.
