'I'm emotional about it': Jon Gruden speaks on Antonio Brown suspension

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden spoke to reporters about the planned suspension of Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown on Thursday, after Brown had a heated exchange with Raiders general manager Mike Mayock.

"I'm emotional about it and I hope you understand why," Gruden said, according to multiple reports, including this one from NBC Sports Bay Area. "Antonio is a great receiver and I think, deep down, he's a really good guy. I'm frustrated. I'm not going to say any more about it. I hope it all works out."

Gruden's insight on how he's feeling about the situation with Brown, who expressed displeasure with the Raiders for fining him after he missed a walk-through and practice, came after he was initially hesitant to speak on it.
