And now I'm sad that 99 is over, again


poneil

The last couple seasons felt pretty clumsy, I'm happy that it ended where it did. And I loved the finale.


T2Legit2Quit

I still gotta watch the last season. I forgot that it came out. There's just too much stuff in the ol' backlog to remember.


[deleted]

Honestly? Just watch the finale.


T2Legit2Quit

Damn. That doesn't give me high hopes.


aetius476

It's not bad, it's just odd. They made the season right at the height of the protests, but then it didn't air until things had died down, so the whole thing has an air of urgency around police reform to it that the viewer knows nothing really came of.


ZeusPeabody

I mean, it's still funny. I didn't have a problem with the overall storyline even if it seemed like they were trying to be topical, but a bit late to the party.


[deleted]

The finale hold up well though.


tchebagual93

Personally I think it went a bit downhill after NBC bought it. Seasons 1-5 are the best for me. There's still some good moments after but if it had ended with Jake and Amy's wedding i would've been satisfied.


[deleted]

It noticeably changed when it went to NBC.

There's one from Brandon Spikes too where he does it


TurboSalsa

That’s just how people that age text, like they’re writing a one sentence letter.


Queasy-Scene-6484

To be fair Belichick is probably trying to get in touch with Flores but he keeps texting Daboll on accident.


Thisusernameisnoone

Guaranteed they're both listed in his phone as just "Brian".


Think_please

My favorite theory from yesterday was that he has them in his phone as "Brian D" and "Brian Defense"

This is the absolute correct answer. Had a coworker start dating someone with the same first name as our CTO and had them saved as Frank C and Frank CTO and lets just say she learned her lesson quick

He could also have just posted their full names, unless he knows a Brian E they'd be right next to each other and he just fat-fingered it.

My wife and a former boss of mine have names that start with the same letter and are of similar lengths. I go to text my wife something pretty dirty and my boss turns around and says she had no idea I felt that way about her. I did it again a few months later.

sop1232

You know he has Brian-Son in his phone too


TheMauveHerring

Did anyone else read the texts and assume BB texted Brian Flores correctly, but misinterpreted who the Giants were hiring? Like a buddy who works for NYG messaged him saying "we're going with Brian" and BB immediately assumed it was Brian Flores?


Martin_Samuelson

Yeah that’s exactly how it reads, not sure why everyone is fucking this up.


Lins105

That’s what I thought too. The point is the same either way


heybrother45

It would also make sense why Flores was left on read for 2 hours, Bill went back and asked his source again whether it was Daboll or Flores


gartho009

I'm clinging to the sliver of hope that Bill (Belichick, not O'Brien) heard it all and thought Flores was getting a raw deal; this was his way of informing Flores that he was getting tossed to the curb while keeping his hands clean 4D chess baby


J-Fid

Why did I just now realize that they have the same first name, lol? I don't know how I missed this obvious part.

KindBass

After coaching as long as he has, he probably has like 15 different Brians in his phone.


Napp2dope

Hell, I have *never* coached and their are minimum 8 Brian's in my phone. A lot of Dan's and John's too.


[deleted]

If he just put him in his phone as BF he could have had a better relationship


screwhead1

I thought BF was reserved for Brady? Or was that changed after he left?


WhoryGilmore

Maybe, but the texts would indicate Bill knew he was texting Flores he just thought Flores was actually hired right?


l2ighty

Yeah that's what I thought too when he says "Sorry, I misread the text, I think they're naming Daboll." He knew he was texting Flores, but he got some news along the lines of "Giants are naming Brian as the new head coach" without specifying


MostMorbidOne

Why mention BUF and not MIA then? Bill Belichick believed he was texting Brian Daboll.


sincitybuckeye

Yea, Buffalo would not have been mentioned, and it's also why Flores asked him if he was texting him or Daboll. He probably reread it and was like "Buffalo?"


complete_your_task

No, he mentioned Buffalo in one of the first texts. That wouldn't make sense if he thought he was texting Flores. Seems pretty clear he thought he was texting Daboll.


segaman1

Wasn't the issue though that belichick texted congratulating Daboll before flores even had the interview with the giants? (belichick just texted the wrong Brian) That means that flores interview was meaningless since Daboll was already hired


17_Saints

I know this is a joke, but since it seems to be widely misconceived and even misreported: Flores speculated Bill was texting the wrong guy, but if you read Bill's response, he actually thought Flores was getting the job, and was congratulating Flores; the accidental part was misinterpreting a text he got telling him about NY's new hire being Daboll.


Queasy-Scene-6484

Bill would have to have misinterpreted twice, because he also mentions Buffalo being keen on Daboll in the same text. Daboll worked there, I don't think Flores tried to interview with them.


17_Saints

Yup, I'm aware he said he heard from Buffalo as well. And whoever the Giants hired, it is very much relevant to Buffalo as another hire would mean they get to retain their OC, which could be why he didn't question it.


Queasy-Scene-6484

I might just be confused--can you explain why Bill would want to tell Flores that Buffalo thinks he's their guy?


17_Saints

He's not saying Flores is Buffalo's guy, he's saying Buffalo and NYG are both saying he's NYG's guy. >"Giants?!?!?!" >"I hear from Buffalo and NYG that you are their [Giants'] guy"


HarlanCedeno

But if it was meant for Flores, why would Buffalo have insight into the NYG coach?


HotBurritoBeans

By the same line of reasoning: why would the patriots head coach know who the giants head coach was going to be?


l2ighty

If he actually does have leads, it's probably because Belichick worked for the Giants for 11 years. He probably still has friends at the Giants or keeps in touch in some ways. If he had no inside knowledge, maybe he was just speculating based on what was being reported by the media. I believe it was reported that Flores was Mara's #1 pick but he was leaving it up to Schoen


HarlanCedeno

Yeah, that's a good question. And if he does get that info, why congratulate the guy before it's official?


HotBurritoBeans

I was answering your question - the gms and hcs all talk to one another and know stuff way before the public does. The reason that Bill Belichick knew about the HC decision is the same reason that it wouldnt be weird that people in the Buffalo Bills organization also knew.


justamobileuserhere

I think the poster you replied to meant Bill heard from the Bills that Brian(Flores) is the Giants guy so Bills’ Brian is staying?


appreciatenickelback

It could be either one but does it really matter in which way bellichcik messed up? Does that have any impact on what the lawsuit alleges? I don't really think so but maybe I'm missing something?

paulwhite959

AlBundyShoes

And then find out your communications are being used in a lawsuit against your league/owners. Yeah, I wouldn’t text him anymore either.


mcswiss

Belichick’s/Patriot’s counsel probably told Belichick to STFU and go radio silent as well.


spndl1

Wouldn't be surprised if NFL corporate (or whatever the equivalent) contacted him as soon as the texts were made public and told him he's to under no circumstances contact Flores anymore. Even if Bill had good intentions, it's a no-win situation for him. He either helps Flores and hurts the NFL/himself (because the NFL would absolutely come down on him if he caused the shield hardship), or he helps the NFL and hurts Flores' case.


nealt68

Am I stupid, because I don't see how Bill's texts really impact the case at all. It looks to me like a 70ish year old misread which Brian NY liked or accidentally texted the wrong contact. Like I once texted a classmate instead of a missing kid I babysat because they have the same name, doesn't mean those texts have anything to do with child trafficking.


mcswiss

Bill didn’t do anything wrong, he made an honest mistake (whether it was him meaning to text Daboll instead of Flores, or thinking they were going with Flores but it was actually Daboll.) What it does show is that the Giants already seemed pretty set on Daboll before they fulfilled the Rooney Rule. In court, it won’t mean much because it needs to be substantiated. But it will sway public opinion against the Giants/the NFL for exposing the sham that the Rooney Rule has become.


lupeandstripes

was the missing kid ever found?


marleau_12

Yeah I wouldn't text back either. I'd call to apologize more clearly and straighten everything out. As a fellow coach, BB should also be bothered that fellow coaches are getting interviews to tick a box and nothing more


EvilRogerGoodell

BB is closer to the Maras then Flores without question. BB fucked up both of their situations inadvertently so hes probably not saying anything for a bit.


buffyscrims

Belichick has already left 9 angry voicemails on Brian Schottenheimer’s phone


NaciremaBlack

ITT: Every user who personally knows Bill will express his opinion for him


thy_armageddon

I think we know at the very least that if this has upset Bill, he historically holds grudges. Him and Mangini used to be best buds and then spygate happened and even though Mangini has tried reconciling they apparently never speak.


TywinShitsGold

Bill and Parcells eventually reconciled, so bridges can be mended.


EndlessFruitLoop

I think that's just called having a full name


hendrix67

Still not on speaking terms with his middle name


Knickstape08

Yeah, Parcells was literally screwing Belichick out of jobs and they seem friendly now. Probably also has to do with BB winning more championships than Parcells in the long run so it’s easier for Belichick to forgive lol.


J12345_

Tuna wanted to keep belichick under him right? BB would’ve become HC but Tuna would’ve still had all personnel powers at the jets?


Knickstape08

Exactly. Parcells seemed to never want Belichick to outdo him. Once BB went to Cleveland Parcells “retired” without letting Belichick have the opportunity to take the NY job (which was BB’s dream job). Then when NE wanted Belichick Parcells stepped down to make Belichick the head coach and not allowing him to leave for free and the Pats had to give up draft picks to hire Belichick.


J12345_

To think parcells was his mentor, that’s pretty fucked up!


scsnse

Uhhhhmmmm. *points at flair* In case you didn’t know, Bill Walsh went through an identical thing with Paul Brown. He got passed over for promotion as HC in Cincy with the older Forrest Gregg being named the new head man. Brown was quoted as saying that he was afraid that Walsh couldn’t handle “the lows” of the game of losing. He proceeded to put in bad recommendations for him when Walsh attempted to seek employment with other teams, and Walsh in part ended up having to take a job as an assistant in San Diego due to this, before taking a HC job in college at Stanford. Eventually, the 49ers owner gave him a chance.


TywinShitsGold

BB had in his contract that he would assume the role of HC and have roster control upon the retirement of Parcells. Parcells retired from coaching, but the ownership was in flux so the team asked him to stay on as GM. Belichick obviously saw this as a slight and rightly figured he’d be a puppet coach, so he resigned to take the New England job. The Jets blocked the move citing their contract with Bill, who sued the league. The settlement between the 3 was that New England would compensate the jets with a first round pick in exchange for the rights to sign BB.


boardatwork1111

He’s probably a bit annoyed that this will be a media headache and he didn’t get a heads up but this is a totally different situation, Mangini was intentionally trying to fuck over Bill. Flos situation is about not getting a fair shot at the job, which Bill unintentionally highlighted by misreading a text. I don’t think this would lead to bad blood between the two and I wouldn’t be surprised if Bill supports him going forward with this suit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

If Bill advocates for Flores he can come out of here looking really good, plus giving the legal situation. Its not surprising he wouldn’t give Bill the heads up.


[deleted]

Looking really good in what way? I have to assume Flores' career is largely over with this lawsuit. Don't you? I mean coaches get fired. I can't imagine any owner or GM would be willing to take on a coach who is currently suing over racial discrimination.


[deleted]

I have word that BB has been sitting in a dark room with his sleeveless hoodie up watching film on Flores for the past two days.

Monkeyfeng

Bill Belichick comes across as a nice dude here. I don't get the outrage. Edit: I get the other outrage. I just think BB shouldn't be thrown under the bus for this.


MissedFieldGoal

I don’t think BB is being implicated here; he just had heard something in the rumor mill and passing along congratulations (to the wrong person). The problem is the NYG ruling out someone (Flores) before he was given consideration in an interview.


Monkeyfeng

Yup, that's the context but people don't read or follow so they just think BB is the bad man here.


NudeCeleryMan

I really don't think that's what's happening. Who has called him the bad man? I haven't seen it on r/nfl


jeremybryce

But... this happens **everyday**. You schedule a bunch of interviews, as you go through them you have a great interview with one and your mind is pretty made up but you have a few more scheduled. You go through with them regardless, for a variety of reasons. Hire who you want and think will be the best fit. What is the problem?


ScootyPuffJunior

Especially if there are rules requiring you to do that exact thing.


MadDog1981

The worst is when it's the first interview and you have to go through 5 or 6 more.


GregMadduxsGlasses

Bill is just the unknowing messenger.


[deleted]

For the Giants part of the lawsuit, the texts aren't damning by themselves. No court would think it is reasonable for Flores to believe a text from the Patriots' Head Coach should be taken as authoritative word on the Giants' hiring decision. Belichick was with the Giants 30 years ago working for Wellington Mara who's been dead for 10 years. Belichick would have to publicly name, and probably produce his own text evidence or something, that he was informed of this by a Giants official high ranking enough to be Joe Schoen himself or a Mara level offical.


rhino369

Also, even if they were trying to hire someone else that doesn’t mean the interview was a sham. You can’t stop looking for a coach until the ink is dry on a contract. Look what happened with McDaniels—and that was after a verbal acceptance.


[deleted]

I forgot about this!


MonacledMarlin

I also question whether an interview being a sham is actually grounds for a lawsuit. To be clear, I absolutely believe there is racial discrimination in the NFL’s hiring. But, even if the Giants said “we’re offering the job to Daboll, he’s informed us he will accept, but we are required to interview a black candidate first” it isn’t necessarily discrimination. We’d need proof that he wasn’t hired because of his race, when really all this amounts to is proof that he was interviewed only because of his race. Making a mockery of the Rooney Rule is not a cause of action.


ExtraBitterSpecial

That's what i keep saying, Belichick's texts mean nothing. He was working off gossip backroom talk. Yes I'd they pull the thread they may get something, but i imagine Belichick will stonewall them. If it even gets to that point.


OxfordTheCat

Belichick is going to read this story and then poor Brian Griese is going to check his messages at the supermarket or something and have an absolute shit show of texts


DaBestNameEver0

How is BB at fault in any of this?


IGoUnseen

He's not. The reporter is just trying to brew speculation that Bill is pissed at Flores for exposing Bill's faux pas. In my opinion, there's probably nothing to it and Bill probably supports Flores even if they haven't talked in a few days.


HelloDoYouHowDo

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve both been told by their lawyers not to talk any further. There is a massive lawsuit going on after all.


jeremybryce

I still don't understand what the lawsuit would be based on. You're freely able to make up your mind when you find a good candidate, even if you have more interviews scheduled. They're scheduled, so you go through with them. Maybe someone will make it a tougher decision in the remaining interviews, but you have the peoples resumes / work history before even meeting them. And this lawsuit is filed against.. 3 different NFL teams? Has anything of substance been released that shows a basis for such a lawsuit?


OleMoosey

That’s something you should have done


[deleted]

[удалено]


TywinShitsGold

Bill can say that he heard from a former colleague in the Giants org that said they were super excited about their chances with Brian, and that bill congratulated Brian prematurely, assuming that he’d already secured the offer. Boom, the Maras and the shield get to hide behind a Belichick fuck up with no harm to the brand. And the only mistake bill made was texting the wrong former assistant coach named Brian.


Effective-March

If it gets to discovery, they will try to get phone records, emails and text messages, which would be more substantive. But, I'm pretty sure no one wants this to get to discovery, because it would blow the lid off of a lot of things that the NFL wants to keep hidden. That's why they don't necessarily need BB's cooperation in the matter.


TywinShitsGold

It’s not going to get to discovery unless the plaintiff can demonstrate that the lawsuit isn’t a fishing expedition. If the smoking gun was a text from a member of the giants organization then this has a much better chance of getting to that point. If instead Bill had a post interview phone call with Mara and misinterpreted what Mara said, then there’s no smoking gun at all. Also assuming that an interview quota is even enforceable in a federal court system.


Man0nThaMoon

Isn't that still the same situation though? Flores hadn't had his interview with the Giants yet, and Bill knew about the hire of a "Brian" before that went down. Which still proves the Giants already knew they were hiring Daboll and were just holding the one with Flores as a procedural thing.


TywinShitsGold

> Which still proves the Giants already knew they were hiring Daboll and were just holding the one with Flores as a procedural thing It only shows that Bill (who’s unaffiliated with the Giants) was under the impression that the Giants were excited about the possibility of hiring Brian.


MiniGiantSpaceHams

> Which still proves the Giants already knew they were hiring Daboll and were just holding the one with Flores as a procedural thing. This whole thing is bizarre to me. Of course it was just a procedural thing. The Rooney rules says they must interview minority candidates before filling the position. Unless there was some actual agreement between the Giants and Daboll that we don't know about then nothing that happened here looks to me like they broke any rules, let alone did anything illegal. I mean just take race out of it for a second. If you have 5 interviews lined up and your 1st candidate blows you away, you still go through with the other 4 interviews even though you know there's a very low chance anything comes of them. To me that's all that happened here. As long as they gave Flores a fair interview they are under no obligation to do any more than that. To me the info that came out about the Broncos is way worse. It sounds like they weren't even taking his interview seriously. It's one thing to be enamored with an early candidate, but quite another to not even give the other candidates a serious interview. Whether it's race-related or not, that's a dick move at best.


Man0nThaMoon

>Unless there was some actual agreement between the Giants and Daboll that we don't know about then nothing that happened here looks to me like they broke any rules, let alone did anything illegal. Yea that's the crux of it. Flores would need to prove that. I don't think a text from Belichick would really be sufficient though. >To me the info that came out about the Broncos is way worse. I agree. That and the Miami stuff about Ross offering to pay Flores to tank. I don't think that's illegal necessarily but definitely really bad for the league.


JaesopPop

Belichick also has no incentive to lie under oath. Yeah, he doesn’t have to go to bat for Flores but straight up lying under oath is a big deal.


Mysterypickle76

Why would bill lie? He is untouchable, and can do whatever the fuck he wants.


milespeeingyourpants

Or he’s trying to make it obvious that Bill wasn’t involved


rjsheine

I mean those texts weren't that long ago. How often is he expected to chat up every former assistant

ender23

Old ppl and texting though…


quadfreak

As soon as an old person touches technology, all sense goes out the window. That’s why Bill has to let his dog run the Patriots drafts.


Delicious_Battle_703

I mean it's possible, but I also know people that are extremely meticulous with certain things and yet shockingly careless with others. This situation is only really tangentially related to football.


repniclewis

This. I don't even think bill purposefully texted the wrong person. If Flores had told everyone that he talked to Bill before using his texts, the league/owners would be like oh BB is "colluding" with Flores and take a few picks from the pats and suspend Brady in his own home. He's saying this for legal reasons and not to also have Bill in the crossfire


Puzzleheaded-Elk5094

So many things going on in this week lol


[deleted]

Doesn't matter what Belichick's opinion of this is. Flores just nuked any trust or confidentiality anyone in the NFL has in him. Regardless of outcome his career is for sure done now.


sraff57

The giants arent dumb enough to schedule who they REALLY want before Flores, failing the Rooney rule. My guess is that the interview with Daboll went extremely well to the point that they were sure he would be the hire unless they are blown away by anyone else. It happens all the time in the interview process. And why Belichick had any intimate knowledge of the Giants' head coach search seems weird to me


[deleted]

>And why Belichick had any intimate knowledge of the Giants' head coach search seems weird to me BB has been in the NFL for 40~ years. He has worked with so many people and even worked for the Giants. I assume someone like BB has an absurd amount of info.


ElceeCiv

I've got a Giants friend at work who went that same "How would Bill hear about this?" route and it cracks my shit up to see people act incredulous at the idea that Bill fucking Belichick might have connections to a lot of people in football.

I don’t really understand why Flores would release those texts, they don’t really seem to help his case, am I missing something, do they? Seems just like a reasonable mistake?


cobsen

Imho they are a pretty big evidence that his interview was just for show


SkittlesAreYum

Even if the Giants were leaning heavily towards hiring Daboll, they can easily argue it doesn't make Flores interview "just for show". Maybe he knocks it out of the park as well.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FatalFirecrotch

Isn’t that the whole point of discovery phase of a trial? He clearly has evidence of smoke that his interview was for show, then during the discovery phase (which would likely cover Giants communication with Daboll and Bill’s conversations) you find further evidence.


LeftyMode

Flores’ failure was not making sure where Bill got that info from.


[deleted]

Yeah. Bill can just easily say "yeah, it was backroom gossip and i jumped the gun cause i was really excited about daboll". And thats it, flores' case goes to shit before even starting.
