Might take Ross down with him.  Granted that guy seems to be Teflon with how many allegations have failed to stick over the years

as far as any implication of trying to tank because Stephen Ross may have invested in part of a $17.5 million round of funding - seems incredibly stupid for this guy to even bring this up. It's a complete non-starter. Stephen Ross is worth probably close to $10 billion. Maybe even more. Hard to quantify his wealth- as it's mostly privately held. Put it this way- he's so rich- he's donated $500 million to the University of Michigan. You have to have a FUCKTON of money to donate $500 million to anyone. You have to be obscenely wealthy. A relatively small investment in a gambling company for someone of his stature is virtually meaningless - like it doesn't even track. Makes no sense to me that it's even brought up. The money he's invested in the Dolphins and the money he makes from the Dolphins winning is infinitely greater than the little check (by his standards) he wrote to participate in a round of funding for a gambling startup.

If Flores is alleging that Ross wanted him to tank to get the #1 pick - I'm sure he's not the first owner nor will he be the last. If Miami had tanked and got Joe Burrow instead of Tua - Miami might be in the Super Bowl right now and not the Bengals. He's going to have to prove this allegation in court - that Ross offered him $100k to lose games to get the #1 pick - so good luck. Unless he's got emails or texts showing this - it's impossible to prove.

Flores is coming across like a major league asshole, jilted ex throwing a bunch of shit to the wall seeing if anything sticks - and the billionaire boys club ain't going to forget any time soon. This guy is killing any chance he's ever had at getting another NFL head coaching job again. I can see why the Dolphins fired him.

You mean convincing UM to take money in exchange for helping him in a tax evasion scheme?

I don't think OBJ's time with the Giants was contentious, whatever his preferences.  He routinely seemed to be fine there when interviewed.  Who knows what's going on in his head, but OBJ was always a loud personality.  Nobody ever wondered what was on his mind when he was in college.  He wasn't a problem, but he wasn't a quiet guy who blended in either. 

What's up with Eli Apple?  Dude roasted the Giants and Saints, then insulted the fans, and then went a step further to trash the city of New Orleans and then say the food is horrible.  Now he's trolled the Chiefs players, offering them tickets to the SB.  All I really know about him was watching him with the Saints and the playoff games with the Bengals.  Nobody should be a douche, but when you're not even good enough to earn some passes, you really should try harder to do the bare minimum.  And by "bare minimum" I mean....you know....not insulting and picking fights with fans and insulting their cities. 

Guys who quarrel with their peers within the league or management may have some growing up to do.  When you can't stop yourself from blasting the fans who make your career possible, you have major character flaws.

ETA:  And if you dis NOLA's food, then you've left "douche" and crossed into "dumb" territory. 
Have to take what he says a bit tongue in cheek

Where we dine in NOLA was mediocre at best.  We were with a lady who claimed she knew the place and where to eat.  I think they were all tourist spots.  I didn't enjoy the visit at all and don't plan to return ever.  I'm sure I could have had a better experience on my on, but I did not enjoy the place.  My wife had the same thoughts.  She had been before years back before I knew her.  It was my first and only visit.

Every city has good places to eat and plenty of mediocre places (and chains).  It's something of a mystery how to find the former, unless you're in France.

Dude, no offense, but every single person you associate with in other cities, just absolutely sucks.  It's uncanny.  You get the worst hosts and worst advice of all time, every time.

not really evasion....more like off-setting or lowering his tax burden. legally. not that i'm thrilled with it. but he did donate $500 million to a public university of higher learning. tax evasion schemes to me are more like what Bezos and Musk do - getting 0% interest loans and borrowing against paper assets (stock) for an eternity to fund their lifestyles which means they never have to declare income or pay tax - unless they sell stock - or setting up shell companies overseas and hiding/laundering money in real estate to avoid paying taxes- the kind of shit we saw in the Pandora Papers.

I am a thousand percent certain that the NFL and Stephen Ross want no part of the discovery process of this lawsuit. I also don't blame Flores - getting canned after willing a terrible team to a winning record is awful enough, and then to get kicked in the teeth that they already picked their coach before your interview is doubly insulting.

if Flores has emails/texts proving he was offered $100k a game to tank so they could get the #1 pick- would love to see it. honestly kind of dumb not to take the $100k/game - make an extra $1 million plus AND get Joe Burrow? Sign me the f***k up for that lol.

He's got a rep as being difficult to work with, and now the dude is suing the NFL, the Giants, the Broncos, and the Dolphins. Apparently he's never heard of not biting the hand that feeds you. He better get a fat settlement or win that lawsuit - because no one in the NFL will probably ever hire him again.
