Jon Gruden's lawyers: Ruling paves way for "holding the NFL accountable"
The NFL has not provided a comment in response to the finding by the Nevada Supreme Court that the arbitration clause in the NFL's Constitution and Bylaws is "unconscionable" — and thus unenforceable — as to former Raiders coach Jon Gruden. Gruden's lawyers have issued a statement to PFT. "We're very pleased with the Nevada Supreme Court's decision, not just for Coach Gruden but for all employees facing an employer's unfair arbitration process," said Adam Hosmer-Henner of McDonald Carano LLP, the firm representing Gruden. "This victory further vindicates Coach Gruden's reputation, and it clears the way to swiftly bringing him full justice and holding the NFL accountable." It's likely if not inevitable that the NFL will file a petition for appeal to the United States Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court doesn't take the case (or if it does and the NFL loses), it will be time for the case to proceed to discovery. And that's when the NFL may throw money at Gruden in an effort to settle his claim that the league and Commissioner Roger Goodell leaked emails he had sent while working for ESPN to multiple media outlets. Here's the most important question: Will he reject any offer the league makes? A July 2023 article about the leaked emails that forced Gruden to resign asserted that Gruden hopes "to burn the house down." That can happen only if he first proves who, from a fairly tight circles of people who had access to the supposedly secret emails from the Washington investigation, leaked some to the Wall Street Journal for publication on a Friday and then, when that didn't do the trick, leaked more to the New York Times on a Monday. At that point, things could get very interesting.

🎥 The top five goals from the MLS weekend
We are back once again for another installment of the top five goals across the latest MLS weekend. Matchday 28 featured plenty of talking points, as usual, but some ridiculous goals from some bright young talents offered more than enough entertainment. Here are the best hits from the weekend. 5. Jaziel Orozco vs Nashville There is the golden rule that goalkeepers, regardless of sport, should never be beaten at their near post. But there are cases where sheer power can trump the traditional narrative. Jaziel Orozco's hit against Nashville is a prime example that sometimes, an effort at goal is unstoppable. The 21-year-old displayed the full range of his player profile in front of home support when he was the first to pounce on a loose ball in the box, controlling well before darting through the defense before unleashing a low piledriver past a helpless Joe Willis to open the scoring in the 23rd minute from a ludicrous angle to set St. Louis on course for a 3-1 home win against tough opposition. 4. Darren Yapi vs Minnesota A running theme to begin the week has been focusing on the young talent that continues to break into the senior ranks across MLS, and Colorado's Darren Yapi is certainly among them. Still just 20, Yapi has gone from strength to strength this season for the Rapis, and his two-goal performance against Minnesota at the weekend was proof that he is quickly becoming a valuable asset at DSG Park. The owner of the match-winning effort in the 2-1 win over the Loons, it was his first strike that seemed to come right out of the Thierry Henry school of goalscoring wizardry, with Yapi racing into space down the left channel before cutting between two markers and quickly bending a low effort into the far corner. More of this, and a 2026 World Cup roster spot for the United States may not be unrealistic. 3. Yannick Bright vs Orlando Inter Miami continue to bemuse fans, neutrals, and pundits alike. Despite all the star power under Javier Mascherano's command, the Herons remain well short. of expectations across 2025, and a poor result against in-state rival Orlando brought their frailties into full view. But despite the poor reading material on the scoreboard, a moment to savour from Yannick Bright gave supporters something to please the palate. The 23-year-old Milan native bagged his first goal in Inter Miami colors with aplomb, smashing in a volley from just outside the box with vengeance behind it while leaving Pedro Gallese to parry it away. A top effort from a budding talent. 2. Wilfried Zaha vs Cincinnati Charlotte are the hottest team in MLS, and a narrow 1-0 win against the growing Eastern Conference power that is Cincinnati planted a flag in the sand across a season where the Crown could play the darkhorse role in the MLS Cup (should they qualify). Level at nil-nil and with a man advantage with five minutes remaining, star man Wilfried Zaha popped up with a moment of individual brilliance to produce a match-winner on the volley to put a postage stamp on all three points. Zaha talks the talk, but moments like this prove he backs it up while walking the walk. 1. Snyder Brunell vs LA Galaxy It may not have been the prettiest or most spectacular hit of the weekend, but surely there was no moment more special than Snyder Brunell's effort against the LA Galaxy that saw Seattle run rampant away from home. The 18-year-old homegrown midfielder came on to make his debut against the legacy club in the 73rd minute, but he could not have expected adding a first MLS goal to his CV to a night he already was sure to never forget. Finding himself on the end of a squared ball across goal from Alex Roldán, the young midfielder turned home his effort first-time past Novak Mićović to bookend a huge result and a massive personal milestone. 📸 Editorial Photo Credit: © Kiyoshi Mio | 2025 Aug 10 - Imagn Images
