“He didn’t get in shape until Week 10,” Ahmed says of last year.
“We’re not going to have that,” Gruden says. “No. I said to him: ‘I need Marshawn Lynch. I don’t need this part-time Lynch. I need full-time Lynch.”
“Man, you’re motivating me right now, baby! If he ain’t getting motivated, something’s wrong.”
“We need the real deal,” Gruden says. “If you’re going to put those letters on the back of your jersey, man, you’ve got to back it up, Marshawn—right? We don’t need another back, we need a feature back.”
“It hits you in your core,” Gruden says. “It’s almost like I’m living my life twice, like Back to the Future. I’ve got the same office. I walk down the hall, in frickin’ Al Davis’s office, and he’s not there. You see his writing on the board. . . .”
**Gruden happens to be upset about the same things. Most pressing, of course, is the CBA which limits his offseason time with players, restricts him to 14 regular-season padded practices, stops him from extending sessions an extra hour whenever he’d like. But that’s just the iceberg tip. Overall, he’s sure football is losing its soul.
“The state of the game? We have to put a GPS in Bobby’s shoulder pad to see if he’s working too hard,” Gruden sighs. “We stop a high school game in Florida three times every half to give ’em a water break. We run a zone-read every play in college—don’t even block the defensive end; we read him—because players can’t push themselves. It’s too risky; somebody had an episode six years ago. . . . Anyway, the Lord sees these gods and says, ‘We’ve got a problem with football. I need you guys to go back to earth and fix this.’ ”

THE MAVS ARE A MESS---
*SI PIECE ON SEXUAL HARASSMENT ENVIORNMENT
Cuban declined to comment on allegations of serial sexual harassment against former Mavericks president and CEO Terdema Ussery until the conclusion of an investigation to be conducted by Krutoy Law, a New York firm led by Evan Krutoy, a former prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney's office who had a stint as the acting bureau chief of the city's sex crimes unit. Anne Milgram, a former New Jersey attorney general whose law practice focuses on white-collar crime and government investigations, will be the lead investigator in consultation with Krutoy Law.
A Mavericks statement on Tuesday night said the team has "only learned of the scope of these complaints" against Ussery in recent days.

MOROSI:
Bobby Evans told us on @MLBNetworkRadio that there’s “mutual interest” in an extension with Madison Bumgarner but no active conversation at the moment — or a firm timeline to start talks. #SFGiants have $12M club option for ’19. @MLB @MLBNetwork
-MAD BUM , GIANTS MUTUAL INTEREST IN A DEAL OR SHOULD THEY WAIT?
(THEY COULD GET A BOT LOAD IF THEY'RE STILL NOT GOOD)
WTF?

One #MLB executive told @richeisen about an idea to improve excitement in the game by allowing managers to put anyone up to bat in the 9th inning if trailing. Good idea or crazy? pic.twitter.com/IgM6Zrofer

Good chance Gore eventually gets a ceremonial contract to officially retire as a 49er. But unlikely the team would bring him to play another season. twitter.com/ProFootballTal…
