‘We have no reason to trust representations by Mr. Gruden’: Jon Gruden’s court case against NFL is going poorly

Jon Gruden spent years fighting to get his lawsuit against the NFL heard in open court rather than in arbitration. Now that he’s gotten his wish, things aren’t going particularly well for him. During a recent hearing, the judge overseeing the case repeatedly expressed frustration with Gruden’s failure to comply with discovery requests, including confusion over a BlackBerry device that may or may not have ever existed. The judge even said that the court has “no reason to trust” what Gruden has told it.
