Dolphins stripped of 1st and 3rd round picks in Tampering investigation, Owner Suspended

I blame Tua, personally. If he didn’t have a noodle arm this never would’ve happened.

I just had a 2nd and 26 flashback.

I bet there’s a lot of rabble rabble about Spy gate, deflategate and bounty gate, and it’ll take a good 5-10 years for the dolphins fans to accept that those were bullshite too and they were next on the list of the NFLs crosshairs. Stages of grief and all that


(We’ve also got to come up with a better name than -gate. Like it’s been a half century since Nixon lets move on a bit)

How do you suspend an owner? What does that even entail

So Flores was told to lose games?

That’s kind of wild that they put that in there given they are being sued by Flores and this is a big staple of his argument. Wonder if they are planning on letting the dolphins roll under the bus for that whole thing too

Also wonder if this whole thing is a retaliation from that situation being created by the dolphins, or just a nice hammer drop to distract from the Watson PR

ETA looks like they made it clear in the report they did not find anything to the tanking allegations, which is obviously a lie but they are covering their arse

the whole gate thing has always been dumb as hell since Watergate was the name of the hotel. If it was called Hotel Tappinggate then I could see it...

It’s happened a few times recently. Basically means they can’t go to games. 6 games is the max they can be punished per league rules. It’s a pretty useless punishment just for show mostly

This is just the beginning
