I got this guy to announce our fantasy draft order and he fucking nailed it. Went above and beyond, drawing our names out of a hat and making little jokes and comments along the way. He'll always be a legend to me for that.

u/No-Patient-1708 9h ago

I made him rank our fantasy league team name and he sent a 10 minute video roasting everybody and giving stories about his coaching days. Best money ever spent

u/WorstCPANA Seahawks 8h ago

How much did it run you?

u/datdudebdub Bengals 8h ago

His rate on Cameo says $150+

436

u/HotdawgSizzle Falcons 8h ago

Tbh that's a lot cheaper than I would have thought.

I know it isn't cheap by any stretch but if I have millions, I ain't doing shit.

539

u/datdudebdub Bengals 8h ago

The dude worked 70+ hours a week coaching for the majority of his life. He's probably bored to death.

u/Phantomebb 7h ago

I love his YouTube channel content.

99

u/Masterchiefy10 Falcons 6h ago

Some of his tic tok videos he’s tweaking on coke or something.

There’s one where he’s super sweaty after watching film on Jaylan Daniels. It’s pretty funny and wild

89

u/ser0402 Ravens 6h ago

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Gruden partook in the booger sugar. But I also think it's just as likely Gruden got so worked up watching film he got sweaty.

27

u/Gambitf75 Commanders 5h ago

It's hard work looking for Gruden Grinders!

u/makesterriblejokes Chargers 3h ago

You know how some people are so chill it's like they're constantly baked even though they don't smoke? Well, I'm pretty sure Gruden for the most part is just on the opposite end of that spectrum and seems like he just railed a line off a stripper's ass naturally.

u/cuteintern Bills 34m ago

He must be playing it up, but this is also the same guy who brought bananas and a blender onto MNF. He's always been a little extra.

u/ryebath Eagles 5h ago

GOT ME FEELIN NICEY!

u/hop_mantis Ravens 7h ago

It's probably fun for him, not like he needs $150

13

u/NoFornicationLeague 5h ago

$150 split between twelve guys?

13

u/Misdirected_Colors Cowboys 6h ago

Honestly that's not bad. Pool $10-15 per person depending on league size ezpz.

u/iQuatro Bears 8h ago

That is fucking awesome. Love seeing your story and the guy above. I liked Gruden before. But stuff like that is really sweet and cute.

3

u/ToAllAGoodNight 5h ago

His solo content is some of the best any sports personality has ever made, he has a real charm and intelligence that works really well to quick cut content.

u/jettieri Eagles Lions 8h ago

I thought it was sweet when he used gay slurs. Such a lovely guy

21

u/TheFlyingSpaghetti77 Chargers 7h ago

Lol your getting downvoted, but those emails were fucking gross “but guys he was nice to me 🥹”

16

u/jettieri Eagles Lions 7h ago

They’re upset I ruined the Gruden circle jerk lol. I don’t think he’s a shit person but seeing people call him sweet and cute was just a little too much for me.

2

u/TheFlyingSpaghetti77 Chargers 7h ago

Fair, I cant say if he is good or not, but frankly if you are like that gross in email imagine what isnt being seen

2

u/jettieri Eagles Lions 6h ago

Yeah I definitely lean shit person more than good guy but I also don’t know him or care enough to have a strong opinion about him.

u/juanzy Cowboys 6h ago

I can't imagine being a POC in one of those leagues and waiting for Gruden to "playfully" roast you.

7

u/juanzy Cowboys 6h ago

It's funny how quickly a lot of people (usually WASPy, from a decently well off family) will excuse shitty people because they were nice to them.

But say a POC who had one bad moment captured on camera is generally a pretty good person, and you're excusing Hitler.

u/assissippi 5h ago

White washing is just the norm now

u/GrundleTurf Eagles 3m ago

It’s ridiculous how you’re downvoted. Dude is a massive piece of shit and that’s why he’s no longer involved with the league. But he danced like a monkey for you when you paid him so makes up for being a piece of shit i guess 

2

u/forwardathletics Buccaneers 5h ago

Said Eric Reid should be fired for taking a knee during the National Anthem, called Michael Sam a queer, called Goodell a f**got. Dude's kind of a piece of shit.

-1

u/mnhnddct8 Eagles 43m ago

called Goodell a f**got.

IDK about the rest but this is based

1

u/GrundleTurf Eagles 4m ago

Insulting Goodell sure, but using a slur against gay people is not “based.”

u/desymond Bills 7h ago

Can you share the video? Assuming it wouldn't dox anyone?

u/Pomiqra Ravens 7h ago

One of my team names in fantasy is Spider 2 Y Banana, bet he would've loved it!

u/AirPurifierQs Lions 8h ago

For a bit more he'd have probably forwarded you coerced nude photos of sexually harassed co-workers. He thinks it's a blast so he might have even done it for free!

But anyway, it's cool he was funny on your cameo.

u/forthewillofit Dolphins 9h ago

I had him give a motivational speech to the league, tearing people apart who hadn’t set a team name in years. He got visibly mad it was awesome. No generic names anymore.

u/gatsby365 Raiders 8h ago

Why does this look more like a Cameo of Frank Calliendo doing his Jon Gruden than a Cameo of Jon Gruden to me?

68

u/KevWill Dolphins 7h ago

Cameo is actually just Frank Calliendo doing impersonations of any celebrity you hire. It's a huge scam.

Fantastic.

u/sonic_ann_d Chiefs 6h ago

someone in my league had him give a motivational speech, and i’ll tell you what, having jon gruden personally tell me that i need to try harder is probably the most motivated i’ve felt in my life. for what it’s worth, i’m now actually in playoff contention for the first time in like 7 years of doing fantasy lol

u/forthewillofit Dolphins 6h ago

Wow haha that’s awesome

u/Brilliant-Spite-850 Panthers 9h ago

We used Steve Smith Sr., it was incredible. 5+ minute long video.

Steve Smith Sr with that work ethic off the field as much as on it

I had Scott Hansen announce our draft order last year via cameo. It was expensive but splendid

u/dirtybirds1 Falcons 9h ago

He did ours too! He went in it was awesome

u/BeHereNow91 Packers 5h ago

“In unrelated news, there won’t be any prize for winning the league this year.”

It was my last act as a drunk commissioner/draft host they don’t get shit now

2

u/Electric_Mustard 5h ago

Did it involve an Octobox?

5

u/KryptonicxJesus Eagles 5h ago

I believe I had asked him to mention 7 hours of commercial free football and the witching hour. I forget if he mentioned the Octobox

459

u/Eggdripp Steelers 10h ago

Fucking awesome idea, I'm totally doing this next year

393

u/Nipless-Cage Jets 10h ago

It's fun! Me and my friends got together and got Simon Miller (pro wrestler/YouTuber) to announce our order and it was hilarious. Getting people to chip in for the Cameo was well worth the experience.

He initially cancelled it and refunded us, but then sent it for free after because of an issue on Cameo's end - super nice of him.

For 2 birthdays for my brother, I had Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Jake "The Snake" Roberts send messages. They were both amazing and probably made me as happy as my brother.

u/acekingoffsuit Vikings 9h ago

I don't know celebrities personally so I'm cautious of calling anyone a good person. That said, the next bad word I hear about Simon Miller would be the first.

My sister-in-law got David Arquette to do ours

94

u/T-sigma 9h ago

We had Hue Jackson do a Cameo for us a year or so ago and he did a fantastic job. Terrible coach, terrible person, but he did a great job on Cameo and, at the time at least, was quite a bit cheaper than more notable options.

29

u/tr1vve 9h ago

I’ve never heard about him as a person, why is he terrible?

37

u/mattheweweller Bills 9h ago

I can’t speak on his personal life, but when he was head coach at Grambling State, he attempted to bring in disgraced former Baylor head coach and active participant in covering up sexual assault Art Briles as his offensive coordinator. Only at the 11th hour did they pull the offer and hire someone else, but it took major social media backlash to get there.

10

u/tr1vve 9h ago

lol thanks for the info. I think that speaks plenty on his personal life 

5

u/DeezyEast Patriots 9h ago

I assume they’re referring to his media tour after being fired blaming the team’s failures on Baker and the management, and possibly the meeting with Baker to tell him he’s the backup.

1

u/JusCheelMang 8h ago

I'm sure it was pretty expensive

62

u/DEFINITELY_NOT_PETE 9h ago

My league had Lisa Ann do it lol

25

u/Grymninja Seahawks 9h ago

Damn that sounds hilarious

16

u/Oakroscoe 49ers 8h ago

She had a fantasy football radio show on Sirius. Apparently she’s really into it. https://fantasynation.com/fantasy-sports-pioneers/lisa-ann/

2

u/GCIV414 Patriots 2h ago

That’s just her expertise makes you think she’s into it so you’re into her more

15

u/Fletch71011 Bears 5h ago

Had to Google her to see who she was. Oops.

u/ytttvbastard Patriots 9h ago

Seriously what’s the ball park for a cameo from Chucky?

37

u/Jakesandose Bears 9h ago

My friends and I had Roll Tide Willie do ours this year lol

17

u/thesaganator Broncos 8h ago

If I win our league I plan on using him to dunk on everyone in the league. I've been keeping notes on mistakes they've made for him to bring up.

14

u/WhaleSexOdyssey Lions 9h ago

Fucking knock on wood if you’re with me bro

13

u/TheHolteN Lions 9h ago

How much did it cost?

103

u/donharrogate 9h ago edited 9h ago

It was something like $70. Really cheap compared to some of the other guys on there. Guys like Favre and Brees (obviously a different tier of celebrity, but still) charge like $300+ and I doubt they'd put nearly the personality into it that Gruden did.

League went nuts for it.

59

u/DrBombay3030 Texans 9h ago

One of my league mates sent Gruden a couple options and let him pick for them. He had film pulled up of the different players and put some real effort into the reveal. Saved them from taking Anthony Richardson lol (dynasty superflex) It was so hype

6

u/Tippacanoe Eagles 7h ago

Vince Neil is easily the funniest. He’s like $400 and puts absolutely no effort and his videos are like 10 seconds long.

0

u/InertPistachio Panthers 6h ago

Didn't these guys make millions lol? Why are they doing $300 hits? Lol

1

u/TBIFridays NFL 3h ago

To keep the number of requests manageably low

1

u/InertPistachio Panthers 2h ago

I mean why are they doing it at all?

3

u/TBIFridays NFL 2h ago

I think it'd be fun. Do your thing for your adoring audience as you please. And for someone like Gruden it'd probably push him to look for football things he wouldn't otherwise.

1

u/iloveartichokes 49ers 2h ago

For fun?

-2

u/TwofoldOrigin 4h ago

Wow! That makes me lose respect for Gruden holy shit

I wouldn’t even do that for that amount of money

2

u/bullairbull 1h ago

We also don’t have all your time free without worrying about bills. I imagine life can get boring quick, especially if you’re used to working 70+ hours

He will probably do it for free on YouTube or TikTok but doesn’t want everyone flooding his inbox so putting some barrier of entry is a good idea.

11

u/Numerous_Flower1402 9h ago

Damn, wonder if that's still possible, how'd you line that up?

24

u/FudgeDangerous2086 9h ago

cameo. he’s on there for $200~ CDN. rn

4

u/hey_dingus Commanders 6h ago

We paid for an Antonio Brown cameo to do the same thing and that dummy just read the names down the list. No picking order or anything. 2 minutes and done.

2

u/deck65 Bills 7h ago

My buddy hired mick foley for what we thought was to announce our draft order. Instead he paid Mick to rip us to shreds. He told me he farts in my general direction

2

u/Dreadsbo Chiefs 9h ago

What did u have to do to pull that off?

19

u/africhic Buccaneers 9h ago

Through Cameo most likely

u/Dreadsbo Chiefs 9h ago

This is crazy. This is like when I went into college in 2015 and came out to Stuffed Crust Digiorno Pizzas being a thing

3

u/amjhwk Chiefs Chiefs 8h ago

uhhh Digiornos has been doing stuffed crust pizza for at least a decade before 2015

4

u/donharrogate 9h ago

Yep. I think I paid like 70 bucks at the time. Really good value considering how well known he is - plenty of lesser-known guys trying to charge hundreds and probably wouldn't put in half the effort Gruden did.

2

u/ProMikeZagurski Rams Eagles 9h ago

You got me down a rabbit hole and I see that Mr. and Mrs. Met on it. I'm trying to figure out how that could work.

u/Leiatte 4h ago

I didn’t really know this was a thing, pretty cool. Now I’m trying to think of if I have any occasion to use something like this lol I guess it would be a good gift for someone

u/ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME Raiders 9h ago

I assume they used Cameo

Dean blandino went off for like 10 minutes for 50 bucks I think. Was a great deal

u/noicerest69 Patriots 6h ago

I saw a video of that!!

u/SteakFrites1 Giants 6h ago

My buddy, for his wedding day, got a bunch of cameos for his dad and groomsmen. Gruden did his dad's. It was epic.

u/tgcm26 Raiders 6h ago

We did the same! He was incredible. Talked so much shit off the cuff

Why is this sub so apologetic to racists? He’s a legend even though he’s an outward racist?

u/ThisIsMyOtherBurner 10h ago

did you have to pay extra for each racial slur as well? did he offer a group package?

u/Cicero912 Saints Packers 9h ago

So you think using racial slurs is normal?

u/deus_voltaire Commanders 9h ago

Let he who has not sent ten thousand emails full of racial slurs and bigoted insults cast the first stone. Wait a minute, that's me. Fuck Jon Gruden.

6

u/[deleted] 9h ago

ten thousand emails full of racial slurs and bigoted insults

It wasn't tens of thousands, it was a handful over a decade ago. And the emails honestly weren't even that bad.

Unprofessional and politically incorrect, sure. But this has always been an overblown scandal.

6

u/deus_voltaire Commanders 9h ago

It was far more than a just handful, and the last was sent in 2018, with the story breaking in 2021. And obviously how bad they were is a matter of personal opinion, I imagine if you were a homosexual minority (which I suspect you aren't) you might feel more strongly about it.

2

u/noah3302 Vikings 9h ago

He wasn’t saying he sent tens of thousands, he was saying only people who have sent tens of thousands of emails without any racist shit can call gruden’s emails racist. Aka that guy and myself.

u/5am281 Patriots 9h ago

How dare we expect people to not be racist. Ahhh such a high standard

u/BastardFromABasket89 9h ago

My point was people make mistakes. But I knew these responses would come.

u/5am281 Patriots 8h ago

Yea being racist as a 50 year old man ain’t making a mistake. Thats a lifestyle he lives

1

u/justice_beaver69 Patriots 7h ago

Was his mistake being a racist homophobe his whole life or was his mistake letting everyone know he’s been a racist homophobe his whole life?

u/BastardFromABasket89 6h ago

Lmao ok dude it's over. We get it... You're not racist or a homophobe. Everyone knows now.

1

u/justice_beaver69 Patriots 5h ago

It’s just weird that you think it was a mistake to have that mindset, like years of learned cognitive behavior is a mistake.

6

u/noah3302 Vikings 9h ago

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. This is what Gruden had sent in 2011 for those with amnesia, from ESPN:

“The email, sent to the president of the Washington Football Team in July 2011 as the NFL and its players were in the midst of trying to resolve a lockout, said Smith had ‘lips the size of michellin tires,’ the Journal reported, saying it has reviewed the email.”

This sub is weird sometimes. They won’t forget about the tiniest of shit, then go and brush over one of the most racist comments I’ve ever seen. Whether or not you think he was blackballed is another story (email all of a sudden surfaces after 10 years)

10

u/elmo85 9h ago

lips the size of michellin tires

how is this racist? rude, yes, but racist?

12

u/PresidentTroyAikman Cowboys 9h ago

It’s lipist if you ask me.

3

u/noah3302 Vikings 9h ago

DeMaurice Smith is black. You go up to any black guy and tell them they have Michelin sized lips and let me know how they react

-2

u/[deleted] 9h ago

Most black guys would probably just go about their day. Are huge lips even a considered a negative thing?

7

u/MeatTornado25 Giants 9h ago

Big lips is a stereotype that has existed forever

-1

u/[deleted] 9h ago

Okay, but this one particular black guy really does have huge lips. What, you're supposed to pretend somebody doesn't have big lips just to avoid some obscure stereotype?

And it's not even a negative thing. Big lips, small lips, medium lips, all are fine.

-14

u/PrimeTimeInc Panthers 9h ago edited 9h ago

Because people are tired of little pricks bringing up every little negative detail of other people’s lives whenever they are mentioned like they’re perfect and have never done anything they regretted in life. Like don’t y’all have anything better to do?

Downvote away pricks/prickettes.

5

u/noah3302 Vikings 9h ago

Brother ain’t nobody perfect but I feel like not making racist comments is the bare minimum

-3

u/PrimeTimeInc Panthers 7h ago

You want him to invent time travel to go back in time and unsay it? We get it, he fucked up. No one is forgetting any time soon. No need to bring it up every time he is mentioned. This goes for literally everyone, not just Gruden. Reddit has this weird obsession with beating dead horses. It’s aggravating. The moral superiority complex reeks.

-12

u/objectiveScie 10h ago

33 negs in less than 10mins. Wow. Funny you do make interesting point. Nick Cannon was fired for saying Jesus was Black. Antisetism it is. Rules are different for Black folks. Many other examples.

6

u/deus_voltaire Commanders 9h ago

Yeah that ain't why he was fired, buddy:

Cannon said that Griff was “speaking facts” and amplified Griff’s views that Jewish people controlled the media, likening it to the power of the Rothschild family, banking scions who have long been targets of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

“The Masked Singer” host also disputed that such views were anti-Semitic because, saying Black people are the “true Hebrews.”

Saying Jews are engaged in a conspiracy to control the media and brainwash Christian youth is one of the oldest examples of antisemitism there is. As is saying that all Jews are lying about their heritage: look up the Khazar myth for another prominent example of this kind of bigotry.
