Also claims Elway was hungover and an hour late to his interview with Broncos, before he got the Miami job.

Can't say any of this stuff in his suit surprises me.

 

[Dback Jon]

If Ross was offering a bonus to lose, the NFL has to force him to sell.

Mike Tomlin (Steelers) is the only black HC in the NFL. There were 9 HC openings and 4 have been filled by white coaches.

You would think so, right? Integrity of the league and such.

Doesn’t seem illegal. Poor form certainly, but that alone ain’t gonna win a suit.

If a player threw a game for money, do you think the NFL would look the other way? Nope

 

[kerouac9]

Are legal filings really this redundant?

I'm surprised that Flores decided that now was the time to end his NFL Coaching career -- and maybe his coaching career outside of, like high school, right now. It seemed like he should've been a hot candidate.

Even if everything he said in the filing is true, hard to imagine any franchise hiring him.

It will certainly be a bad look if he ends up the only black head coach in 2022. That’s pretty crazy.

Particularly not if it reached the press.

 

[Dback Jon]

Doesn’t seem illegal. Poor form certainly, but that alone ain’t gonna win a suit.

If they were already going to hire someone else, and Flores was only there to fill a quota, and the Broncos showed they didn't care about the interview, and made a mockery of it, then yes, racism as it relates to the Rooney Rule.

To answer your first question: yes.

The Belichick texts look like a huge reach.

He has to possess more evidence that it was performance art than just what appears to be lousy management decision making.

Surprised he would bring Bill into this.

Or using this to establish a pattern of NFL teams not abusing the Rooney Rule process.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Surprised he would bring Bill into this.

I don't think he does, without getting his input.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Sadly, NFL likely Kaepernicks Flores over this.
