Never a bad time to be reminded of how far we've come / haven't come...

Which stats are you referring to ? He had a losing record as a HC, so he can't really rely on that.
I guess that he is refering to the proportion of black head coaches in the NFL.
I watched this when it originally aired and it was pretty controversial at the time IIRC. I think he got sacked after.
Think you're correct.
Flores' full interview
Bloody hell
I mean 87 wasn't really that long ago for that not to be controversial, feck me.
He had a winning record the last two seasons. Not too many white coaches out there who would have been fired after that.
How had I never seen this before
This better be in London.
He still had an overall losing record which is always going to get coaches on the hot seat. He also had a worse record this year than last. The value of his lawsuit is that it is class action, which will allow others to join in on the Rooney Rule and future hiring practices, which again, have nothing to do with him being let go by the Dolphins.
Washington Sexual Predators.
Probably trademarked by the basketball team that plays the Harlem Globetrotters.
I liked Admirals and Pioneers, not sure if either was in the consideration.
Admirals was, would have been better than Commanders.
Well Harbaugh wasn't done. O'Connell will apparently be the Vikings new HC after the SuperBowl. Intriguing.
All the more reason to root for the Bengals.
I think @Eboue voted for him.
Dick's out for the Bengals.
That's so awesome.
Joey B will be a living legend aged 25 in the Queen City if he pulls this off next week.
Jefferson wins the dodgeball competition for the NFC. Btw, is a "grill" still a thing? Jefferson must be stuck listening to Nelly.
They should abolish the pro bowl. It’s a load of nonsense, no one cares.
What’s does everyone think of the 49ers, this current crop of players under Shanahan is quality. They’ve played in two championship games in the past 3 years - lost in the super bowl and probably should’ve beat the rams a few days ago. You must admit they are a hard team to put away and their system seems to frustrate a lot of teams. Are they just one or two players away from winning a super bowl?

It’s a bit of fun and lots of people enjoy it, it doesn’t need abolishing just because you’re not interested.
The best thing they did for the pro bowl was these fun games and events and challenges. The game itself is a bit pointless but this stuff is fun and enjoyable.
Yea I always enjoy the challenges they’re a good laugh.
That leaves Allen, Glenn, Flores and, the latest addition to the interview list, Eric Bieniemy as the realistic options for the Saints.
Shad missed a trick letting Baalke win that power struggle when Leftwich would have taken the job with a different GM.
Just watch the movie "American Underdog" about the story of Kurt Warner. Just wow, I'm loving getting to learn some of the history of this game. Amazing story that.
Going to actually go see if I can find something about that 1999 season to get some more of it.

Search ‘Greatest Show on Turf’ on YouTube. You’re bound to find some long videos.
Malik Willis previewing his Lamar skills for next year
Found them, cheers. Great stuff!
How's the interest int he Pro Bowl? Only realized now that it seems every American sport has this. I know folks loves it in Basketball and Baseball, some I'm assuming it's also big for Football. Anything else it adds other than just seeing the best from each side coming together? I'm assuming its a legacy thing for players also?
And is anyone from the Superbowl teams going to feature? If so, would they be risking getting injured before the big event?
SB teams players are replaced with alternates. The games a bit of fun, by no means full competitive hard hitting NFL though.
I'm now getting ready for SB night. Got my craft beers ordered and coming this week. Still unsure of what American food to get. It's a toss up between getting a burger kit from Burger & Beyond (https://burgerandbeyondshop.co.uk/product/double-bacon-butter-burger-kit-serves-4/) or ordering some buffalo & BBQ wings from a local place on UberEats. I'd normally just pluck for the wings but I imagine they are going to get inundated with orders come 10pm.
We’ve had a corner booth booked at the Directors Box in Manchester for months, I cannot wait. Hazy Jane and Beavertown on draft, and plenty of good food options, followed by Monday off work. Can’t wait.
Day after the Superb Owl should be a holiday, no matter the country.
Totally agree.
