Can confirm reports that ex-Dolphins coach Brian Flores has indeed filed a class action lawsuit against the New York Giants and NFL, claiming racial discrimination.

His complaint alleges he can prove Giants interviewed him as a "Rooney Rule" after deciding to hire Brian Daboll. More from the Brian Flores complaint:

“Thus, while the Rooney Rule was and remains well-intentioned, its effectiveness requires NFL teams to take it seriously, and not treat it as a formality that must be endured simply to formalize the pre-determined hiring of a white coach.”

The Washington Football Team rename is planned for tomorrow, February 2nd.

The evidence seems to be pointing squarely towards one name, the Washington Commanders. Either it's an intentional diversion by the organization... or that's the name.

Timeline of Commanders evidence 👇 On July 3, 2020, Washington put out the official press release that they were going to change their name.

Of note, someone registered the domain WashingtonCommanders.com the very same day. In fact, it was registered less than 30 minutes before Washington's press release went out.

Per @WallachLegal, here’s the copy of Zion’s drivers license that was purportedly used to authenticate his signature on a letter confirming receipt of an impermissible $400K loan. Zion’s team argues it’s fake and should be thrown out.

Detective Twitter is on the case...Pro Bono! Here’s one from the loan acknowledgment letter. I guess we’ve been pronouncing it wrong?

In 1997 & 1998, Michael Jordan was not just the highest paid player in the NBA, he earned more than most teams’ entire rosters.

As the greatest of all time, he deserved it - but it was exposing a flaw in the CBA.

THREAD: How Jordan created the Max Salary Rule.

#TheLastDance Image For the 1996-97 season, the salary cap for each team was set at $24.3M. Note, teams were allowed to exceed the cap to re-sign their own players without penalty.

Jordan signed a 1 yr / $30.1M deal, shattering the $18.7M mark set by Patrick Ewing the year before for the NY Knicks. Image

Q: How are they forced to go to the team that drafts them?

A 1st Rd Pick once claimed the NFL Draft unfairly prevented him from negotiating a higher salary with other teams. Free agency was more fair, he argued.

THREAD: The time a Federal Judge determined the Draft was illegal. In 1968, the Redskins drafted James "Yazoo" Smith with the 12th pick. Smith, an All-American CB at Oregon, signed with the Skins for $50K. As a rookie, he suffered a career-ending neck injury. Frustrated that he didn't earn more in his brief playing window, he sued for $4.2M.
