(According to “Dakota in Braintree”) Mayo legal action vs Kraft?

[Ross12]

I expect you're right and Mayo has no case, but I'd still love for the dirt about this past season to come to light out of Mayo's spite. It has to be more interesting than a few of the games I watched this year.

I just have no reason to believe this story is even true. It just doesn't make sense. He'd have to be claiming that Kraft firing him at the time in which he did, or the way in which he did, caused him (Mayo) to suffer reputational damage and thus now be unable to find work. However, this lawsuit itself would do far more reputational damage for his coaching career than anything Kraft ever did.

Your understanding is correct but this is Mayo. His understanding may be otherwise...

Message to Mayo: find somewhere you can realize your lifetime ambition of "building character in young women and young men," count your unearned millions and just STFU.

I absolutely believe that Mayo spouted off to someone that he was going to sue Kraft. It's the sort of thing he'd say as coach and have to walk back (his signature move).

I'm curious about what sort of agreement he thinks he had with Kraft where he could just suck as a coach, show no intention to improve during the season, and have his team show regression, and think that their agreement was violated. I have to think Kraft made statements about understanding that the team would lose this season and that Mayo would be safe. Was that enough to claim some kind of binding agreement? I can't imagine so.

I'm wondering how much Mrs. Mayo is driving this...

That first paragraph is just fits Mayo to the T, lol

All this got me thinking about what Mayo's job was with Optum. I learned that he was VP of Business development. Then I was like what exactly is business development for healthcare. So I looked up business development "the process of identifying, creating, and capturing value for healthcare organizations and their stakeholders" Now I'm like WTH is that? Value...a fake term available to fit in any size or shape hole. I used both sides of the TP today at work, therefor I created value for the company.

Mayo just seems like the guy at work that walks around the office all day with the coffee cup and asks a few questions to seem engaged but wont say much more because he doesnt remember any meetings from last week or read any of his emails. He is the guy that everyone asks...what is his job with the company? That's how he tried to be a head coach and thought everyone around him would do all the heavy lifting to cover up for his inadequacies but they were just as clueless and everyone cant walk around all day with the coffee mug doing co-worker visits.

I think this piece might be a decent theory about Mayo's comments.
" Super Bowl Champion Daniel Wilcox Says Jerod Mayo and Antonio Pierce Were “Token” Black Coaches"

"Acho went in on the percentages of Black head coaches that get fired after one season compared to their white counterparts historically.
“Over the last 10 years…53 white head coaches have been hired, 6 got fired after 1 year (11%). 14 Black HCs have been hired, 5 got fired after 1 year (35%),” Acho said. He implied systemic racism is to blame."

The problem isn't just getting hired, it's bouncing back after you get fired. For Mike Vrabel, his bounce-back came in the form of returning to New

I’m so over this ****. Everything to blame for Mayo’s termination has to do with racism. Why arent any of these ppl talking about how much he sucked? How the team got worse? How the culture within the organization became one of disinterest and blame? I’ll tell you why they dont talk about that. They didnt watch any of the games. They didnt follow the team. So much fake outrage. It’s a problem.

If this is true and Mayo wants to coach again at some point then this is either a really bad idea either on his part or he got some bad advice. He’s getting paid anyway for a job that he wasn’t qualified for and it showed.

Interesting, though I’m not sure it helps Mayo’s case. Each team acts as its own employer. They don’t work for the NFL as an entity, they work for each team’s owner. So Mayo would have to show a history of racism by Kraft and that his performance wouldn’t have justified the same result in a white coach. Of course Kraft just fired a white coach for going 4-13, so his case isn’t looking great.

Interestingly, I decided to look up Flores’ lawsuit this morning because I was curious what was happening with it. Apparently there’s a clause in most head coaching contracts that legal disagreements will be satisfied through arbitration, and the courts are saying must be followed, which Flores is fighting. Why? Because Goddell would be the arbitrator. And remember how well that turned out for Brady?

Thanks, now I'm pissed off at that kangaroo court bs all over again.

Air driving, just like air guitar. All imaginary.

Flores is so far having more success than Brady, no doubt because Flores does not belong to a Union which signed off on the ridiculously unfair notion that the Commissioner can be an impartial arbitrator.

The owners put it into each coach’s contract. That’s why he’s not having success. He’s trying to fight it and the courts are saying he has to go through arbitration.

Any truth to the rumor that Dakota in Braintree gets his insider info from Danny in Quincy?

The Mayo coaching regime equivalent: everyone gathering at the water cooler to ***** about the no-talent roster and how it prevents them from doing their jobs.
