And if he's right, the Dolphins owner should lose the team and the some heads should roll in East Rutherford, too.  Both teams should also lose draft picks.  Lastly, Flores should be come a very, very rich man.

I don't know if the Giants should be in trouble, I mean unless you interview minority candidates first something like this is bound to happen from time to time do to the rules.

All the Giants were doing was complying with the rules the NFL set up.  They should not be penalized for doing an interview the NFL forced them to do.  On the other hand Ross is in BIG trouble.  

 

I think an admission that your team went through the motions simply to comply with the rules should still come with a penalty; regardless of how one feels about the rule.

Congress is going to get involved if this isn't retracted quickly - you can't have an owner of an antitrust-exempt business, on which betting is now legal, paying coaches to lose.  This is EPIC.

 

1.   congress isn't going to mess with football.

 

2.  he is alleged to offer him to pay to tank, not that he did pay him to do so (in which case Flores could also be charged).

Why?

 

Would are his damages?  

 

Flores was happy to exist in the Dolphins cesspool (such as it was)  until he got canned---in fact, if he was hired by the Giants, he still wouldn't have said anything about it.  Now he screams bloody murder--and sues.

 

And if leagues are to get into the business of taking away teams that owners are tanking, when do the Sabres get taken?

Naive.

 

Ask the NBA about taking away teams from bad owners, it is not just about tanking, about violating the spirit of NFL rules and tampering with players/coaches.

 

Gugny is correct, Ross is in BIG, BIG trouble on many facets.

I get that it happens.  Admitting to it is just stupid, though.

Old people simply should not be using Facebook or texting - they cannot do it.

 

Also, the Wigdor law firm is pretty well known for putting aggressive allegations into complaints in order to generate media attention - that's their MO.  Sometimes they've had to walk those allegations back, so we'll see how this plays out ultimately.

True, and I don’t believe it specifies such interviews must be done first. At least, I’ve never heard that mentioned. Teams should be able to hire who they want , who they believe is best for the job, and who they like the most.

Look up why Sterling lost his team.  Then get right back to us.

Sounds like the Giants decided they were hiring Daboll before Flores was interviewed, Belichick finds out and texts the wrong Brian to congratulate him... Oops, my bad. I'm almost 70. Should have asked my grandkids how this magic pocket brain works.

 

You kidding me?  Genius Belichick move- destabilize a division rival, and get his team 2 comp picks for helping to crack this case wide open!

Nothing worse than was done by BB and the Pats* organization. Cheating to win takes on many forms including trying for a better draft pick. Fine him if true , take away a few picks and that’s that. Taking a team away? Ridiculous.

I’m thinking he was mad at how they played those 13 seconds defensively. McD and Co. screwed the pooch by not realizing the game situation. On some levels, that might be harder for a good football coach like Daboll, with no input into the D scheme decisions, to take. His HC literally cost him the AFCCG at home and a chance to go to the SB. 

The text says it’s from January 11th and that divisional game wasn’t until the 23rd so, if this is true, it has to be for another reason.

This will be tried in civil court, if it ever gets to that point,  and while heresay can be admitted as "evidence".  Then they get to depsoe Belichek, boy will that ever be gold to watch.

 

Attorney: Mr. Belichick, when you sent the first text message, did you think you were texting Brian Daboll?

 

BB: Ahh, I don't know. I just gotta text better. 

 

Attorney: But who were you trying to text? 

 

BB: yeah I already answered that. Nobody texted well all day.

I think its possible Daboll was just feeling a bit stagnant here.  There was a time where his star seemed to have set and the offense was struggling.  

 

I could absolutely see Daboll desiring a possible change of scenery at that point.  But then the end of the season happened and he became the hot commodity again.

While it does kind of seem like the guy has been getting ***** over here lately, I don't know if he can really prove discrimination with the Giants hiring Daboll, the guy was one of the hottest picks to get HC job the last two years.

 

It's not that they hired Daboll, it's that they had already made the decision to hire Daboll before interviewing Flores.  

 

Everyone involved looks bad, and it is messed up that no black coaches are going to get hired in this cycle (with 9 openings.)

Still 4-5 HC positions open, aren't there?  Texans, Dolphins, Minny, Saints and Jags.

What's crazy is a prominent mod called me a racist because I said the Rooney rule doesn't work as intended when talking about the Bills OC interviews.

 

Turns out a former black HC thinks the same and proved it with examples. 

 

 

I thought you promised to quit in that exchange?  What he said actually is that the argument you were making is racist.
