Tonight Musburger is broadcasting his last game of his career. (Photo by Andy Lyons\/Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAs I told Coach, whoever took you out, Jon, that was a paid assassin,\u201d Musburger said. \u201cThat was one of the best hit jobs that I\u2019ve ever been around. They didn\u2019t go to their media g\u2014\u2014-. They didn\u2019t leak this to Adam Schefter or one of those guys that breaks stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey 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,\u201d Musburger insisted.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Musburger also warned Gruden that it will be extremely difficult to prove that an NFL official leaked the emails that caused the ruckus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a second lawsuit involved, OK? Between the owner, [Daniel] Snyder of Washington, and a former general manager,\u201d Musburger added. \u201cAnd that means that a lot of outside people had access to those emails that they were going through. So, I think the hardest part for Gruden\u2019s lawyers to prove is that somebody from the National Football League actually leaked that. Because if it is somebody from the NFL, shame on them. Because Mark Davis should have been told in the summer when he had something to do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/owner-and-managing-general-partner-mark-davis-of-the-las-vegas-on-picture-id1348719900\" alt=\"Owner and managing general partner Mark Davis of the Las Vegas Raiders stands on the team&#039;s sideline before a game against the Philadelphia Eagles at...\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>LAS VEGAS, NEVADA \u2013 OCTOBER 24: Owner and managing general partner Mark Davis of the Las Vegas Raiders stands on the team\u2019s sideline before a game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Allegiant Stadium on October 24, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
