Imagine sitting there enjoying your nachos and then all of a sudden you notice what appears to be dust that settled on your tortilla chips. Sure you thought the cheese was old, but you didn’t think it was THAT old. Or imagine getting a little extra breading on your chicken fingers. And here I thought Big Ben was the only dead guy at Heinz Field on Sunday.

What in the world is happening this year? Is mercury still in retrograde? If it is, what does that even mean?

“An incident occurred during the game at Heinz Field on Sunday where a fan was spreading ashes of a deceased family member in the stadium,” Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten told WTAE-TV. “Heinz Field management does not permit or condone such actions. While we respect those fans who may be interested in honoring a family member by spreading their family’s ashes inside the stadium, Heinz Field cannot accommodate those requests due to state and local regulations. We have responded to communications from our fans throughout the years that this type of action is not permissible.”

You know, I would hope Heinz Field management wouldn’t permit or condone the spreading of ashes at the stadium. Sort of makes sense.

BUT, call me crazy, did the ashes play a part in getting the win on Sunday? Before Sunday, the Steelers season was looking bleak. The national talking heads calling for Big Ben’s retirement, discussing whether Mike Tomlin was on the hot seat, and the collapse of almost everyone’s groin on the team. Now that a random fan and their deceased family member came to the game Sunday, they come out of Heinz Field with a victory? Just sayin’.

He recently popped in on an online class at the University of Tennessee.

Apparently, Tennessee has organized these things regularly – at least enough to where it has it’s own YouTube intro – with people like Peyton Manning, Josh Dobbs, and others. But I’m not ready to write this up as a scheduled course crash just yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gruden was supposed to be signing in for NFL Draft run-throughs and somehow ended up in the Zoom call of a random Tennessee class.

You couldn’t see him for half his appearance and then even after he said bye he couldn’t figure out how to log off.

Honestly, it’s not a shocker Jon Gruden would fail with modern technology considering his quote from his first meeting with the media after returning to the Raiders at the 2018 NFL Combine:

“I’m trying to throw the game back to 1998… I’m not going to rely on modern technology. I will certainly have some people that are professional that can help me from that regard. But I still think doing things the old fashioned way is a good way.”

Trying to throw the game back to 1998? No wonder he’s at Tennessee.

But we really shouldn’t be surprised that a guy who traded away Khalil Mack, Amari Cooper and signed Antonio Brown doesn’t know how to make the right calls. That man is your head coach, Raiders. A guy who, in 2020, can’t figure out how to hang up a Zoom call. This isn’t coding a website, 3-D printing weaponry, or even basic college statistics. It’s just clicking a button on a Zoom call that very clearly reads: “Leave Meeting.”

Look, the overall idea of these course drop-ins is cool. It’s creative. It’s fun. It hopefully incentivizes kids to go to class during these times. However, (and not to take anything away from what Tennessee is doing) when you really think about it, the premise is kinda lame. If these people were crashing classes in person, it’d be awesome. But instead it’s, “Oh cool, a celebrity on my computer screen?! No way!” If I wanted to see a celebrity on my computer screen, I could go to any website on the Internet… or, I dunno, Netflix? Hell, if I wanted to watch Jon Gruden struggle with how to make a webcam work, I’ll just watch the NFL Draft on Thursday night. Now obviously, I get it. No one’s going to physical classrooms right now. But the worst part of any Zoom call is having to explain it to someone who’s technically challenged, and that was essentially Grudes’ entire call.

I will say this, however. Every time I see this icon on one of my video conferences…

…I’m going to wonder if it’s Jon Gruden randomly crashing my call.

Of course the brand new stadium and Mark Davis’s bowl cut weren’t the only things on display at their event. العاب قمار حقيقية The Raiders also dropped a video announcing their team’s new name.
