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

[MahomestoKelce]

How can Flores prove Ross wanted to tank?

He will need emails, recordings, or other witnesses.

I don't think the Giants thing will go anywhere at all. Not seeing much they did wrong.

 

[Ring 6]

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

They will simply deny it.

 

[carmelo15]

Holy hell this is bad.

Wait how is this bad because the giants GM hired his righ hand man my god.

And Miami fans should be proud that there owner was wanting to tank for a better pick

 

[yukon cornelius]

career killer perhaps, but that doesn't rule out BB hiring him....haha

wonder if he could be hired by a team while the suit is pending, though.....not that i think this ever goes to open court, but.....

I know one guy that can get all these answers:

 

[carmelo15]

So the Giants found their guy, hired him and that's somehow racist?

Welcome to 2022 and said hire worked with the GM before

 

[Boomer B]

Belichick texts about as well as he works the tablets

 

[libra957]

Wow this is explosive !

 

[Ross12]

This is ****ing rad. **** it - Flores as the heir to BB.

 

[Deus Irae]

So the Rooney rule's a sham.

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.

 

[ralmat55]

so

So that just means BB cannot read?

No it means he’s a befuddled old guy.

 

[ashley]

They will simply deny it.

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.

You can keep the bridges, you can burn them down with a match, or you can take a flamethrower to the whole thing.


Flores seems to have chosen option #3.

The Phins were badmouthing this guy left and right.

They likely prevented him from being hired after describing him as a headcase.

When you don't like an employee, you shouldn't burn his house down, because the fire might spread to your own house

 

[carmelo15]

The real story here is Ross attempting to pay Flores to lose games/tank. The "racism" angle regarding the Giants wanting to hire Daboll, even before Flores' interview, is laughable.

And we’d all want our teams to tank so that **** isn’t it either. Pretty sure we wanted us to tank for Trevor last year you’d want your team to tank for lebron we always say the owner wouldn’t let it. I’d be proud that my owner did that for a better pick hell I hope he buys the ****ing Kings

So if I got this right. Bill accidently sent a text to Flores giving congrats that was meant for Daboll 3 days before Flores was set to interview? LMAO Jesus Bill.

 

[Schmo]

The Rooney rule is racist/discriminatory, both in intent and practice. The irony of someone claiming racism because the spirit of a racist rule was being violated is amusing, but not surprising.

Agree or disagree with the "spirit" of the rule, a rule was broken, and the rules need to be upheld at all costs.... that's been the history with the pats at least.

 

[upstater1]

Puh-Leeeesseee RKK, Hire This Man to the the Head Honcho in waiting in New England...

Let him stoke those fires of hatred and animosity, to be unleashed upon the NFL with a Furious Vengeance when the day comes...

we will never lose another game to Miami until the day BFlo dies

I actually like this. A lot

 

[carmelo15]

I don't think wasting a "candidate's" time and making a mockery of a rule meant to give minorities something even close to a fair shake is anything to laugh at.

The minuet that GM was hired everyone knew who he was coming **** not everything is racists they were a package deal anywhere they went

I could just hear the dripping sarcasm in "Thanks Bill" lol
