Who’s behind the Jon Gruden Twitter parody account?
By Matt Schneidman | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: October 18, 2018 at 6:00 am | UPDATED: October 18, 2018 at 10:05 am The real Jon Gruden has disappointed this season, to say the least, but the fake Jon Gruden has been right on point. While the 55-year-old trades his best player, leads the Raiders to an underwhelming 1-5 start and inspires fans to make a website counting down the milliseconds until his 10-year contract expires, a 26-year-old public relations and content specialist at a real estate investment firm in Ohio takes advantage. Justin Greear created the Jon Gruden Twitter parody account before the 2014 season, after his Tim Tebow parody account ran out of gas with Tebow fading from the spotlight. Greear picked Gruden as another iconic personality the masses knew from his gig as Monday Night Football color commentator, and the account gained 100,000 followers in just three months. Now @Faux_Gruden has over 348,000 followers, combining … [Read more...] about Who’s behind the Jon Gruden Twitter parody account?
Jon Gruden is reportedly set to start a ‘fire sale’ in Oakland and trade away 2 more top players
The Oakland Raiders are reportedly shopping former first-round picks Amari Cooper and Karl Joseph. Dealing either of the two players would be yet another substantial roster shake-up by newly appointed head coach Jon Gruden. Gruden’s first foray into roster management with the Raiders included his widely criticised decision to trade away Khalil Mack. Jon Gruden’s tenure with the Oakland Raiders has not gotten off to a great start. After bringing Gruden in on a 10-year deal worth $US100 million, expectations were high in Oakland, but the Raiders have fallen well short of meeting them, stumbling out of the gate to a 1-4 record. Gruden’s most notable contribution to the team has not been anything he’s brought to the Raiders, but rather what he has given away – namely, 2016 defensive player of the year Khalil Mack, who Gruden traded away to the Bears in a much-criticised move. Now, it seems that Gruden isn’t yet done tinkering with the Raiders … [Read more...] about Jon Gruden is reportedly set to start a ‘fire sale’ in Oakland and trade away 2 more top players
