As I told coach, whoever took you out, Jon, that was a paid assassin, that was one of the best hit jobs that I’ve ever been around. They didn’t go to their media g-------. They didn’t leak this to Adam Schefter or one of those guys that breaks stories. They first went to the Wall Street Journal. And when Gruden was still coaching after that, then they dumped the rest of it on the New York Times. That was a professional hit job.
