Brian Flores says Fins owner offered $$ to throw games
 
https://www.sportscasting.com/brian-...osive-lawsuit/

Quote:
“In January 2022, Mr. Flores, who spent three years as the Head Coach of Defendant Miami Dolphins, Ltd. (the ‘Dolphins’ or ‘Miami’), found himself without a job. He was fired by the Dolphins after leading the team to its first back-to-back winning seasons since 2003. The purported basis for his termination was alleged poor collaboration. In reality, the writing had been on the wall since Mr. Flores’ first season as Head Coach of the Dolphins, when he refused his owner’s directive to ‘tank’ for the first pick in the draft. Indeed, during the 2019 season, Miami’s owner, Stephen Ross, told Mr. Flores that he would pay him $100,000 for every loss, and the team’s General Manager, Chris Grier, told Mr. Flores that ‘Steve’ was ‘mad’ that Mr. Flores’ success in winning games that year was ‘compromising [the team’s] draft position.'”
So, I pretty much guarantee that Ross did that, but that the discussions were private and not recorded, and there's no paperwork...but Flores would almost have to have some kind of proof to come out and say that in a lawsuit, right?

Someone should of offered our coaches money so they wouldn’t of thrown the game.

I think the NFL gave Reid orders to stand down, and that was the source of friction between Reid and Mahomes. Mahomes was pissed, and he's proud. So that's why he played like Keystone Kops in the 2nd half. As a giant FU.

At least we do know that orders for rigging games in Miami go through Stephen Ross.

I'd sure love to hear the conversation between The Clarks and Goodell early Sunday...

I mean, you're not wrong...but it's hard to compete with NFL money.

Of course nobody is talking about this and it's all about the race angle. Absolutely pathetic

The Patriots getting slaps on the wrists does nothing but give this life.

Well, race is pushed as the major concern in this country.

Nothing in the OP indicated any involvement by the NFL. It was a team plan to tank for the #1 pick. Not rigging games for the nfl.

Aren’t the Dolphins a team in the NFL? Welp, that’s probably pretty much considered NFL.

Good chance his only proof is his testimony but if the owner was this fired up about losing to get high pick...there would be a lot of people in the know. But he said a lot of sensational things which I doubt there is anything but his testimony. The Broncos interview is one.

LMAO good grief dude just stop watching football.

Seems like such a weird time to want to "tank". You already at least hope you have your QB. The team had a winning record last two years. Sounds like the owner wanted to get Brady relatively recently which isn't exactly a rebuild plan. Stephen Ross just sounds like a massive moron. So much so I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did put this in writing or say it to others who can confirm.

Supposedly the Broncos have a rather large file of notes and data from their interview with Flores that would point to him being full of shit.
