I can't really say who's right or wrong, but Ross hasn't impressed me as an owner. Hire coach, wait 3 years, fire coach. He fired Philbin after a 1-3 start, but left Flores after a 1-7 start? When you fire someone, it's best to just say it didn't work out, time to go. Giving reasons like Ross...

Probably, but if nothing else, he cause Ross a lot of aggravation. Ever heard of a divorce where one party kept trying to drag it out just to make life miserable for the other?

I never said they were likely true. I said if Flores had no history of claiming racism, maybe it's actually racism. I'm also saying that attacking his character is a way to weaken him in a legal case, not because he doesn't have any evidence. You're reading a lot more into what I'm saying than...

Because head coaches are known for being so easy to get along with. The offense was awful and that's on him, but what does that say about Ross hiring him in the first place? What does it say about him not addressing it before now? If Ross was trying to make Watson happen, where else was he...

That's how lawsuits work. You weaken your opponent in any way possible. If they have completely unrelated detrimental information that might come out in discovery, they're more inclined to settle rather than pursue in court. You establish a pattern of unethical activity and force the defense to...

No, but it establishes the character of the person you're suing. Especially when they claim you're the one that's difficult to get along with. I have no idea why he was really fired, but fans saw improvement and felt it wasn't Flores that was the big problem. That says something.

Firing the guy who went 5-11, 10-6, and 9-8 doesn't scream commitment to winning without having a home run hire to follow. Especially when the 9-8 season started 1-7. I have no faith that the Dolphins will see a Super Bowl with Ross as owner.

That's to establish a pattern of unethical behavior.

I'm not convinced that Ross really cares at all after 10 years of the same sht.

Did they trade theirs or the one they got from the 49ers? Because then a third party or parties might be upset at manipulating draft position.

I said shafted because Flores turned a bad first half of the season into a good second half. This is where the pay to fail comes in. If he fired Flores because he came on strong at the end and hurt draft chances even though the season was almost certainly lost, it makes those 2019 accusations...

It's a gray area because it's not acceptable. And punishing someone for not doing it is also unacceptable. This is very much a case where it doesn't matter what happened, it's what can be proven.

Considering I'm not making either of those arguments, it's not really cherry picking. My original response which bunched up so many panties: Do I need to point out the very obvious word?

It either is or isn't acceptable to intentionally lose games. The NFL says it isn't.

Then the attorneys will have quite the task ahead of them. One of the problems we have in society is accepting the results of trials as if we're privy to all the evidence and arguments presented during the course of the trial. People make their minds up on an initial news report which is usually...

If it's an approved activity, why is the NFL investigating? Why not just forfeit or play the second string each game? If losing games was the plan, why did he get fired? Because he won too many?

Obviously, but that was supposed to be a joke. If not, the NFL would've investigated it then, not now.

Maybe it's not as much supporting Flores as it is disgust that Ross is intentionally tanking for draft position. If he's willing to do that, couldn't you picture him firing someone who doesn't do exactly what he says? What does that say to the people who buy tickets and merchandise? Give us your...

This is what the lawsuit says specifically about the Dolphins. 14. 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...

It sounds like you're taking Ross' word as gospel. Outside of the HRS renovations, he's done exactly jack**** for the team. Hire & fire head coach, hire & fire quarterback, repeat. he's owned the Dolphins since 2009. What has improved?
