I wanna know what Brady's suspension is...

Under Brady's penalty, he will be mandated to be the only QB on the Dolphins roster for 5 years after he "retires" and is no longer physcailly able to throw the ball.

From the allegations

 

Wonder what future bust player that probably shouldn't go before the 3rd round is now going to have to wait until the 2nd round to get picked?

So, you're saying he'll be a worthy successor to Pennington & Tua.

Sounds like this means Flores is going to be unable to get his side out to the public (well, beyond what the media will write for him)? Arbitration after finding that there were no games thrown? Unless he does have an offer on tape (which will stay private now), what can he expect to win?

He shot his shot and missed.  He's going to be very lucky if he ever gets another HC job, unless it's a situation like Lovie Smith where he takes over a team that is circling the drain with almost no short term chance of success, so he's a bridge to the next real coach.

Looks like the Flores team is going to appeal:

Gee-

they left out one critical factor

the turmoil the media will put the team thru when they have to inevitably fire that black coach

 

 

How Black NFL coaches, despite Rooney Rule, are denied top jobs - Washington Post

 

Despite the league’s end-zone pledge to “END RACISM,” Black coaches continue to be denied top jobs in a league where nearly 60 percent of the players are Black.

It is a glaring shortcoming for the NFL, one highlighted by the findings of an investigation by The Washington Post. Black coaches tend to perform about as well as White coaches, The Post found.

 

 

Amid growing scrutiny of the issue, The Post compiled and analyzed three decades’ worth of data and conducted interviews with 16 of the 24 living current and former NFL head coaches who identify as Black, as well as dozens of other coaches, former players, team executives, agents and others.

 

“It seems like the criteria moves,” Leslie Frazier, defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, said in an interview. “One week, or one year, it’s ‘We want an offensive-minded guy.’ Another year: ‘We want a guy with a Super Bowl-winning background.’ What’s the criteria? Sometimes it’s because he’s ‘a great leader.’ Sometimes it’s because he ‘came up the same way I came up.’ But the common theme … is [an owner is going] to hire someone that looks like that owner.”

Not even black coaches...but "coaches who identify as black." 

 

Being black is no longer a matter of melanin, it's a matter of what you think your melanin would be, if only melanin knew how you felt about it.

how would the Post change its narrative if 50% of the NFL white coaches stated that they actually identify as Black coaches, to better relate to their players?

So it's not enough that 60% of the players are black making top dollar, now they also have to be the coaches and owners as well. Where is the Latino and Asian representation in players and staff? Football is big south of the border yet there's nary a Hispanic player to be found in the league. If black people are only 13% of the US population aren't they overrepresented in the professional sporting world? 

 

Some things to chew on.

Actually Soccer is the most popular sport in the world outside the U.S.  they may watch a ton of it. But most people are not playing it
