Some interesting stuff on how Gruden went through Bruce Allen to talk to Al. It seems as if there wasn’t much of a relationship. I would also guess that he didn’t have a relationship with Mark the first time around either.
“He was the only coach who made it clear he did not want to interact with me”
That explains her viewpoint and dramatically harsh criticism of his targeted email leak. And to be honest, never even heard of this lady before but just listening to her speak, I can’t say I blame Jon for not wanting to interact with her. She seems like a pompous and hypocritical person who needs to get off her high horse. “The emails were horrific” LMAO give me a fucking break lady. Lets go through your personal emails and text messages, I’m sure you’re a saint who’s never said anything in your life that might offend someone as sensitive as you
never even heard of this lady
What? How is this possible?
who gives a shit. And did u seriously downvote me for that lol Jesus
Amy Trask is as Raider as it gets. She would have kept the team in Oakland.
She wouldn’t have had a say so. There aren’t any professional sports teams In Oakland anymore, give it up finally.
You should be embarrassed that you’ve never heard of her.
In 2005 i was living in Boston and stoked to find out the Raiders were coming to play The Pats for the season opener. I got up at 7am to buy tickets at 8am when they went on sale. Well, by the tome the window loaded they were sold out at 8:02. This was back before ticket master had limits per transaction so all the tickets were bought by scalpers with automated systems. Then the tickets were up for resale later that afternoon with huge markeups.
I was pissed so i wrote 3 identical letters to express my frustration with the system. 1. To the NFLs ticket office. 2. To the Patriots President of Operations and 3. to Amy Trask. The NFL wrote back and said they are aware of the problem but a long term solution was difficult to implement, but we’re working on it. The Pats never replied (too busy cheating). And Any Trask’s secretary called me. Said Amu enjoyed my letter, is happy to know there are Raider fans in Boston and was sorry to say the Pats control tickets for their home games so they can’t really help me. Well, i felt rewarded by the personal phone call and it only made me a bigger fan of the organization.
Well, two days before the Game, i get another call from the same secretary “one of the players has returned tickets they purchased for their family and we can resell them to you if you’d like?” What!!! 55 dollars a ticket.: sitting high up but surrounded by Raider family members in their jerseys. Was awesome.
that’s awesome!
I am not an Amy Trask fan boy; I am not a Jon Gruden fan boy. I don’t care what either does at this point. I appreciate what both did for the Raiders, but both are past their prime.
I’m an Amy Trask fanboy and a Jon Gruden fanboy (and a Kusama fanboy). I’m still hoping for a Gruden return: seems very unlikely now, but it seemed like that before he came back too.
Amy Trask, AKA the Princess of Darkness, was the first female executive in the NFL. She was with the team for about 30 years as an attorney and later the CEO. She has a ton of candid stories about how things worked in the organization. She resigned a year or two after Al died. She’s a Raider, through and through
