NFL general counsel Jeff Pash and former Washington Football Team executive Bruce Allen had a close relationship, according to emails collected during the NFL's workplace misconduct investigation of the Washington franchise, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday night.
The correspondence is among 650,000 emails collected in the NFL's investigation.
That trove of emails helped lead to Jon Gruden's resignation as Las Vegas Raiders coach earlier this week after reports from the Times and Journal showed he used misogynistic and anti-gay language and also used a racist comment to refer to NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith.
