The NBA has the lottery now for a reason.
There's actually no evidence "that it happened." Flores rejected Ross's offer and Hue is a moron who conflated being a bad coach with tanking games. His evidence for being paid to tank is that the Browns didn't fire him fast enough.
Players, staff and executives from those Browns teams have all come out in recent days to call Hue an idiot. He seems to be trying to get attention for himself by latching on to some genuine complaints that Flores has.
Agreed....Hue trying to get a paid day as well maybe. You can't expect a whole organization to tank top to bottom, not the way the players are paid, the turnover yr to yr, and s**t the Browns FO who would have to agree with the tanking all got canned just as well lol.
edit: saw this and chuckled
I don't take Hugh Jackson seriously at all. No coach has ever had two seasons as bad as his and got a third partial season. He blames everyone but himself. He will do almost anything to stay in the spotlight. If he was offered money and didn't take it he is a fool, because averaging 1/2 a win per season over two years when you are trying to win is beyond pathetic.
I believe Flores. He did a good job especially with often injured Tua. I think he got fired unfairly. They had a very good second half of the season. Is it his fault they drafted Tua before Herbert? He definitely didn't take the money and/or tank.
Random49. One player in the NBA can have a much bigger impact than an NFL player, and thus the lottery. Do you really think that both coaches were offered money to lose, refused it, and then purposely tanked for free? If they were that corrupt to purposely tank they likely would have been corrupt enough to take the money. Let's just be real you don't get the three parts of the "crime" the offer, acceptance, and action. You don't seem to understand the second two parts are necessary to tank for pay.
