Mike Florio

Michael Parsons at $47.

So I don't know.

Maybe a raise will change it.

But it sure seems like he's at his wit's end.

And this is a guy.

He told us a story at the Super Bowl last year that I thought was very compelling.

There are other guys on the Raiders team that want to be like him.

How do we get like you?

And he said, well, OK, I'll see you at the gym at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll work out the way I work out.

We'll make the commitment that I've made.

And they show up for a day or two, and then they don't show up again.

So he's the kind of guy you want in a locker room where the others will listen to him, and he'll compliment the existing leadership and inspire the guys to go all out and be all in and be fully committed to the cause.

And it just hasn't happened.

with the Raiders.

He could be the difference for some other team that is looking for that kick that they need to get to the top of the mountain.

Well...

It's not over yet and the NFL will continue to fight tooth and nail to try to convince the US Supreme Court to force the Flores case into the NFL's what I call secret rigged court

kangaroo court excuse me of arbitration and people ask me why do you call it that and the answer is because it is because this is what they want they want to have everything under their control and the idea that the CEO of any company would be the person who resolves any legal claims made by the workforce against the company I can't believe it's taken this long for it to finally be recognized as a major problem the NFL shouldn't want to do this it's inherently unfair so Flores has them on the run and

Now, John Gruden has already won on that point, and the NFL didn't exercise its prerogative to try to appeal the decision of the Nevada Supreme Court to the US Supreme Court.

So we're going to find out who ordered the Code Red against John Gruden, unless they settle the case or otherwise get the case dismissed.
