Who’s behind the Jon Gruden Twitter parody account?
By Matt Schneidman | [email protected] | Bay Area News Group PUBLISHED: October 18, 2018 at 6:00 am | UPDATED: October 18, 2018 at 10:05 am The real Jon Gruden has disappointed this season, to say the least, but the fake Jon Gruden has been right on point. While the 55-year-old trades his best player, leads the Raiders to an underwhelming 1-5 start and inspires fans to make a website counting down the milliseconds until his 10-year contract expires, a 26-year-old public relations and content specialist at a real estate investment firm in Ohio takes advantage. Justin Greear created the Jon Gruden Twitter parody account before the 2014 season, after his Tim Tebow parody account ran out of gas with Tebow fading from the spotlight. Greear picked Gruden as another iconic personality the masses knew from his gig as Monday Night Football color commentator, and the account gained 100,000 followers in just three months.

Courtney Barnett floats off into space in Need a Little Time
Every week, a slew of new music videos hits the web. Watching them at your desk is not time theft because you deserve it; think of it as a nice reward for surviving another work week. But what if you don’t have time to watch every video — maybe you have a deadline, a hungry pet, or other grown-up concerns. In consideration of your schedule, Lizzie and Kaitlyn bring you a series called One Video. Each week we’ll tell you “one video” you need to watch, why, and for how long. Welcome to the final installment of One Video, a column that was good while it lasted, but as Shania would say: “now we’re past it!” It’s not because our love for music videos or light time theft has dimmed at all, and of course, our love for each other only grows each day. It’s also not a decision made due to low page views, as no installment of One Video has ever had fewer than 18 readers, and that we can promise you. The truth is that Kaitlyn will only … [Read more...] about Courtney Barnett floats off into space in Need a Little Time
