  1. the filing of this lawsuit is exhibit a that he is hard to work with. if youre an owner of a team (or any organization), would you hire a guy that wont listen to you and doesnt do what you want? who filed a class action lawsuit against you the minute he got canned and while he's interviewing for other jobs? think about your own work experience. we've all worked with people who complain and say everything is always someone else's fault. working with an owner is part of the deal when you get hired. you kinda have to do what the boss wants.
  2. its a purported class action. who else is joining the class? how can they certify it? i dont understand the premise of the suit unless he's claiming the dolphins fired him because he's black. which will be really hard to prove. the nfl will settle and make more promises. pay off flores' lawyers. maybe give him a cushy job in the nfl as head of diversity and inclusion practices or something like that.
  3. i would assume its gattis. they have a lot of up and coming young assistants in the pipeline too.
  4. i love the idea that white coaches are somehow given a bunch of leeway in the nfl now. that the giants just said, "you know what? joe judge is bad, but he's white so were gonna keep him." all coaches are fired very quickly in the nfl nowadays. black and white. and very few are re-hired after they fail.
  5. i dont know. he'll take the money. mcs, i do this for a living. its all about the money. especially for the attorneys who just got themselves a hundree million dollars.
  6. they will be. its all about the money, mcs. it always is.
  7. why is anderson's victims "just a start"? they and their lawyers got $500 million. that sounds like an awfully nice finish to me.
  8. war rewards durability, not surprising. and he played a good shortstop. he made the all star game every year of his career for god's sake, no matter whether he deserved it or not. i'll take gerhringer over ripken. from age 24-37 gehringer never had an ops+ below 100. ripken did five times. i might take scott rolen too. more consistent than ripken and a better fielder.
  9. kilian didnt make the rising stars game?
  10. i thought red hogs would have been pretty cool. commanders is fucking dumb.
  11. what a dumb name.
  12. 😉
  13. flores is currently interviewing for the saints job...
  14. its a class action! how many other coaches are going to throw their careers out the window and join this class? if they can even get a "class" certified. maybe coaches who are retired or too old or know they'll never work again?
  15. is flores that upset that he's costing himself the rest of his career? i mean, he may go back to the pats for bellichick, but the rest of the league isnt going to hire a guy who gets fired from one job and then sues everyone. who wants that type of guy in your organization? if anything, this sort of gives credence to the dolphins' rumors that he cant get along with people.
  16. obvious racism.
  17. "anti-racism" is a specific term used to denote the current cultural phenomenon that is making its way quite quickly from the academic world to the corporate world and common culture. its not enough to be "color blind" and to hire, promote, and treat people the same regardless of their background. people (and by people we mean only white people) must actively consciously be "anti-racist". because were all a bunch of racists holding back minorites. ask kendi.
  18. what would be evidence of "anti-racism"?
  19. right, but i dont think that's evidence of racism. is the complaint alleging that the giants are liable for "violating the rooney rule" or for discrimination on the basis of race?
  20. i get your point, and i havent read the whole complaint. but those text messages mean nothing, and the part of the complaint cited in that other tweet isnt evidence, its merely speculation on the part of the drafter.
  21. its like calling someone "chief", without the racism.
  22. i dont understand how that shows any racism.
  23. maybe youre right on gehringer. but i think the negro league numbers are very inflated.
