Big news came out of a U.S. District Court on Wednesday, one that will rattle more than a few teams and the NFL. A judge ruled that former Miami Dolphins head coach and current Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator, Brian Flores can continue to pursue his discrimination cases against several NFL teams and the league.
If you are a Buffalo Bills fan, all you have to do is look to the Cleveland Browns and Deshaun Watson and you may feel better about this story. However, if you are the team that just invested $120 million in a player that is being accused in court of distributing "sexually explicit photos," well then this may be a bit tougher to digest, especially if you expected this player to be the "defensive face" of the franchise.
We had one of my old colleagues and friends in Zach Bye on this morning to talk about Aaron Rodgers and the possibility of him joining the Denver Broncos.
The new coach of the Broncos may have plenty of orange in his closet. As reported on Thursday by ESPN, Denver is working to finalize a deal to hire Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their new head coach. The Broncos have had five consecutive losing seasons. The last three had been orchestrated under former head coach Vic Fangio, who was fired in early January. Now Denver is hoping that the former Syracuse assistant coach can help bring that franchise back to the Super Bowl.
On Monday, the Denver Broncos announced they would be parting ways with their NFL coach of four years, John Fox.
At his end of the year news conference in Denver on Tuesday, we can only assume that Broncos General Manager/Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway meant to thank the former coach.
