Friday afternoon, former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden filed a lawsuit against the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell, alleging Gruden's emails were "selectively" released during the investigation into the Washington Football Team to force him out of his role with the team.
Gruden's attorney, Adam Hosmer-Henner, noted there is "no explanation" as to why only Gruden's emails were made public when there were 650,000 collected in the league's investigation.

"The complaint alleges that the defendants selectively leaked Gruden's private correspondence to the Wall Street Journal and New York Times in order to harm Gruden's reputation and force him out of his job," Hosmer-Henner said.
