Raiders' Derek Carr reminding self to 'just have fun' in wake of Jon Gruden's departure

LAS VEGAS -- No player on the roster was more personally affected by Jon Gruden's email scandal and sudden resignation as Las Vegas Raiders coach less than two weeks ago than quarterback Derek Carr.

Because beyond their friendship, Carr had been having his best statistical years with Gruden running things. So Carr compartmentalized.

And he took to writing himself a final reminder at the end of his notes to himself the last two Saturday nights.

Just have fun!

"And I underlined it," Carr said, moving his hand for effect.
