Semi OT: Flores suing NFL and NYG. Texts from Bill involved in the suit.

[NG Pats Fan]

Will be interesting to see what kind of proof Flores has(emails, texts etc.) Don't think an attorney would file lawsuit without any evidence.

Yeah very interesting

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Can't wait to hear the response from Ross and the Dolphins. Never a dull moment in the NFL

bad decision to fire him

You can text with flip phones.

The blue text bubble means they both have iPhones

They measure how well you score on the SAT. If the test were to measure something fixed/inherent, there would be no point in studying or practicing for the test, because you'd do the same no matter what.

Sorry I thought you were being serious

Uh.....

Looks like Chris Greir is gettin' some collateral damage...

Owner CAN hire anyone they want, the Rooney rule doesnt make owners hire anyone...

They should be able to conduct interviews anyway they see fit. If a team wants to exclude somebody on the basis of color and not ability. And operate the team like a bunch of Jack asses, Then the team won't be very good in the end. It's the owner's team. The Rooney rule is PC dog sh!t.

disagree....the most feared WORDS at 345 Park Ave. are "there's a big angry joker with a baseball bat pacing back and forth at the entrance.."

El Presidente?

Sham is not the word I'd use. The Rooney rule is a strong arm tactic to try forcing teams to interview, and pressuring the teams to then hire, preferred groups of people, regardless of the particular preferences of those making the selection. It puts teams that have preferred candidates in the awkward position of having to pretend that they don't have those preferred candidates. That's a fault of the rule, not the team, but that's not how it gets presented.

Are you basically saying that there AREN'T qualified black candidates. Well I guess you must be thrilled that with 9 openings available, the owners have successfully been pressured to hire ZERO candidates of color thus far. By any record, an OUTSTANDING example of all the diversity talk this season. They should be proud, or rather "proud boys"

Doesn't look like anything damning but I am no legal expert. It looks like Bill accidentally let the cat out of the bag that the NYG already hired Daboll before even interviewing Flores. Effectively making a mockery of the Rooney rule and wasting Flores's time.

Accidentally?? Maybe it was BB's way of letting him know while legitimately being able to claim a misdirected text..
What better way to screw the league.........
Then again, they are both Brians and likely next to each other in his phone....

TL;DR: "We covered our asses!"

 

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Lions were 0 - last 30 years. Finally had a winning HC and said "we're good" let's hire Matty P.

I don't think Caldwell is a great head coach, but he's solid and has now twice been fired for inferior ones. Pagano was a scrub.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Flores effectively ends his coaching career.

Except maybe in NE.......

 

[rochrist]

Oh I think Belichick is going to get hammered more than anyone behind the scenes. Goodell is going to scape goat him hard.

For what????

It was sarcasm, I knew the answer.

Hard to argue, IMO.

The dimensions of the case might be growing...
