BRIAN FLORES, WHO WAS FIRED AS HEAD COACH OF THE MIAMI DOLPHINS THIS OFFSEASON, IS SUING THE NFL AND MULTIPLE TEAMS FOR RACISM IN THEIR HIRING PRACTICES. HE CLAIMS HE WAS OFFERED MORE MONEY FOR LOSING GAMES BY DOLPHINS OWNER, THAT HE WAS ONLY INTERVIEWED TO FULFILL CRITERIA OF THE ROONEY RULE BY THE GIANTS, AND THAT A AN INTERVIEW WITH THE DENVER BRONCOS IN 2019 WAS ALSO NOTHING MORE A TEAM DOING WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO.
AFTER A ROUGH YEAR ON SPECIAL TEAMS, HIGHLIGHTED BY THE BLOCKED PUNT THAT HELPED IN THEIR DIVISIONAL ROUND EXIT, THE GREEN BAY PACKERS HAVE LET GO OF SPECIAL TEAMS COACH MAURICE DRAYTON.
THE COLORADO AVALANCHE’S 18 GAME HOME WINNING STREAK WAS SNAPPED, WITH A 3-2 SHOOTOUT LOSS TO THE ARIZONA COYOTES.
