So who thinks this Brian Flores lawsuit could potentially be a big problem for the NFL? If he can prove that he was offered/paid money to LOSE games? That has to have some ramifications right?

Could be a huge problem - just we're all wallowing at the new name right now.

If Flores has the proof that Ross did that - Ross should face serious repercussions. The league takes its' integrity very seriously - at least in terms of public image. Knowing that an owner was intentionally trying to pay his HC to lose games should be unforgiveable to the fans who spent money supporting the team.

And we all knew the Rooney Rule was a sham anyways - teams just did token interviews to satisfy the requirement knowing they were never under serious consideration. But the Giants thing proves it. And it's a terrible look for Elway/co. to show up to the interview hungover.

I fully expect the NFL to try and minimalize the damage here. Flores sacrificed his career for this though.

I think that is an important component. The gumption it takes to be a whistle blower knowing there will be bridges burned is really commendable in my book.

Yeah I agree. Dolphins should lose multiple first round picks if not more. You know the NFL wants no part of "tanking" in their house.

3 1st round picks at minimum (if true).

I'd be pissed off if I keep seeing shit like Josh McDaniels being offered a HC job after being a total failure in Denver and leaving the Colts hanging during his second HC "stint."

Messing with Vegas money lines, integrity of the game .... this thing has tentacles.

Would love Brian to come here and replace Del Rio. he knows hes sacrificing his career for the greater good of POC candidates to follow.

If Snyder hired him, the other owners might finally make Snyder sell. I don't want Flores to be involved in our Snyder shit.

But if we were owned by any other guy (not including Ross) I'd hire him easily.
