    I think he would've waited if it wasn't leaked. 

    eh, 2 weeks. will get some heat for a couple days and then Joe B takes the spotlight... kinda works to both teams benefit. focus is elsewhere for a minute.
    Yeah this week is dead space so actually a good time for such an announcement, especially early in the week. Plenty of time to digest it before we watch the Rams get off their team plane at the site of the Super Bowl and the hype begins.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    In 2019, Flores' first season with the Dolphins, he alleges that loser team owner Stephen Ross offered him $100,000 PER LOSS so Miami could have a higher draft pick. They finished 5-11 after starting 0-7 and Ross was pissed. 

    I'm a Dolphins fan. I pray to God that this is some sort of grounds for the league to get rid of Ross. He's the worst owner in the league besides Snyder.

    Wow that is hilarious.   *not for Flores, of course.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Good for Flores.  I just read the Post article on this and something else stood out.  It said there were 3 Black coaches and now only 1 (Tomlin).  It said David Culley was Black.  I had no idea.  But he was also a surprise firing to me.  I thought he did a really good job with that shit show of a roster and organization.  Look at his QBs!   So yeah, this all looks terrible for the NFL.  It also looks terrible for BB who was at least tangentially aware that Flores (one of his ex assistants) was being put through a BS process for the Rooney rule.

    1 - Sixers fans would just call this part of the 'process'  :blush:    The offering of money is pretty nuts though if true

    2 - Flores did come from the Patriots so it's not like bending the rules was off the table you know? :)

    3 - Not sure what is so wrong about this.  People interview  people all the time in the real world when they already have their main candidate chosen.  Plus the Rooney rule has led to more sham interviews than anything else.  That is sad but how can you force billionaires into hiring a minority as a coach?  That being said clearly there should be more minority head coaches.  It sure seems like they get fired more quickly than white coaches. 

    Flores is going to end up getting paid from the NFL for this but he has effectively ended his career.  

    Will be interesting to see how , if at all, this changes anything within the NFL.

    The suit said other Black coaches have joined.  It will be interesting when those plaintiffs are named.  

    I don't know if this has ended his career.  But you're right, it's not going to jury.  There will be a big settlement.  But it's ugly and it looks just awful for the NFL.  Offering to pay your coach $100k per loss looks just as bad.  Who knows, after this Flores won't need to work in the NFL.  Maybe he can go coach high school and retire in style.

    I don't know what that means.

    The Super Bowl is almost two weeks from now. This is most definitely not happening during the Super Bowl or even during Super Bowl week. If I'm the Bucs, I'm happy to know sooner than later anyway.

    I think the lawsuit pushes Brady out of the way.  This is much bigger news I think. Plus everyone already jacked off to TB over the weekend.
