Rahimi Harrison-Grody. The great Kevin Harlan. I just pulled through the Taco Bell drive-thru, and I've got a couple of big, nasty Supreme Burritos right here waiting to be eaten. You know, the first thing they ask you now, are you using the app? The app? No, I just want my burrito. I don't want to use an app. Bring a lot of mild sauce, because I'm going to squirt it all over the place. Put some hot sauce on my burrito, baby. Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Middays, 10 a.m. to 2 on The Score. If there's one thing I know, it is that the two words that get people going are Max and Crosby. But we're not just throwing this out there willy-nilly. We'll get to a little bit more on Max in just a second because there are some new statements that he has made to the Let's Go podcast.
In the meantime, a pretty big ruling has come in the NFL. This is big from Adam Schefter. The court ruled today in Brian Flores' Steve Wilkes and Ray Horton's ongoing discrimination case against the NFL that all the coaches' respective claims that had been previously compelled to arbitration, which means a closed hearing, now can proceed in open court. The quote that he has is, The court's decision recognizes that an arbitration forum in which the defendant's own chief executive gets to decide the case would strip employees of their rights under the law, says attorneys Douglas H., Wigdor, and David E. Gottlieb. It is long overdue for the NFL to recognize this and finally provide a fair, neutral, and transparent forum for these issues to be addressed.
Transparent, which means us. We get to hear this. What I love about this, Layla, is that you feel like there's some accountability that was lacking when you talk about the arbitration process and how it works. And if you've ever been involved in any type of arbitration process, it's all about, well, who's the arbitrator? If the company that you have a complaint against controls the arbitrator, how are you going to get a fair shake? Well, and sometimes that arbitrator will still rule in favor of the employee. You know, that's what we've also seen. But the point is, yeah, the company has a say in who the arbitrator is.
What are the latest updates on Maxx Crosby's status with the Raiders?
Additionally, discrimination does not outweigh That supersedes in labor law. Discrimination overrides company law. Right. Therefore, there are certain protections that come with discrimination. So that's why I think partially this is able to be in public like this. My favorite part about this and understanding that justice may be done here is that August 2025 ruling that found, quote, insurmountable flaws in in the league's arbitration process. Because now it's like, okay, a court has said your process is flawed. Of course now you can bring it further into the light, if you will. And I just hope that Brian Flores, along with Steve Wilks, Ray Horton, get the justice that they are seeking and that it shapes the way that the NFL and its teams, its member organizations, handle things going forward.
Because sometimes the fear of this is the only thing that keeps people honest. Well, and the nice thing is, at least for Brian Flores, is he's still working. You know, he's in a very public job. He is respected in his position professionally. He's respected when you hear other teams talk about him, at least the job that he does, his work. So he deserves fairness to that. Doesn't it feel like Brian Flores has already kind of beaten the system? Because I thought he was going to get blackballed.
How does the recent court ruling impact the NFL's arbitration process?
But I guess he's just too doggone good at his job. I thought so, too. Especially when you don't get to say your fair share because you're in an arbitration hearing, which is closed. Yeah, I was definitely concerned about that. So now it's going to open court and I'm very much intrigued to see how this plays out. Well, and you know who I think will be all over this to our benefit? Mike Florio. Every Wednesday at 11 a.m. right here on Rahimi Harrison Grody on 104.3 The Score. Bingo. But these court proceedings, if we, that's how you found out about the John Gruden emails, for example, through a court proceeding, we get to hear a lot of this stuff publicly.
