Jay Gruden Proud To Announce He’s Already Halfway Through Season Six Of ‘Gilmore Girls’

Jay Gruden, who was recently fired from his job as head coach of the Washington Redskins, told reporters this Tuesday that, rather than wallowing in self-pity, he has spent the time binge-watching the popular 2000’s TV dramedy, “Gilmore Girls.”

“Getting fired was a real blow, but just like Rory’s [in the show] about to return to Yale after being devastated by Mitchum, I’m not going to let one bad experience get me down,” said a bleary-eyed Gruden while brushing Cheez-It crumbs off his soiled windbreaker. “Yep, I’m happy to say that embracing the saga of Rory and Lorelai’s relationship is the first win I’ve had in a long time.”

According to his brother, Jon, whose couch Gruden has used during the marathon, Gruden’s intuitive coaching skills have finally been put to good use with the beloved WB network staple. “Jay’s demonstrated tremendous playcall ability. Even before finishing the first season, he predicted Lorelai would call off her wedding to Max because she was secretly still in love with Christopher.” Gruden agreed, stating that, “While nothing went right for me in Washington, at least the town of Stars Hollow will always have my back.”

Not content with simply finishing one show, Gruden told reporters he’s already moving on to CW’s five-season hit, “Jane The Virgin.” He’ll have to hurry, however, as the Redskins have informed Gruden that they plan to stop paying for his Netflix account by the end of the month.
