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.

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.
