Former Dolphin coach is suing NFL and some teams for racial discrimination.
In a buried headline, part of the suit alleges the Dolphins owner was offering to pay a premium to throw games in a quest for the top draft pick his first year. That strikes me as a HUGE story. There have been rumblings about teams tanking games on lost seasons for better draft picks. That's where the whole NBA lottery came from. The idea of being paid to throw games hasn't been acknowledged in sports since the 1919 White Sox

Funny how Flores didn't say a thing about the Den and Mia situations until three weeks after he got fired and the options for him to get a other head job are dwindling.

So it would seem that with the Dolphins, Ross wanted Flores to tank to draft Tua. Then, Tua didn't meet Flores' expectations as a qb and Flores wanted to go in another direction this offseason. So, Ross canned Flores, even though that team won 8 out of its last 9, which in most cases indicates progress is being made.
I'm happy with anything NFL-wise that makes Roger squirm. As one of Flores' lawyers said today at least the league should conduct an investigation before commenting; considering all the time and effort they spent on deflated footballs.

Former Bengals head coach Hue Jackson has chimed in saying he was given the same thing |
