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).
