We got a voyeuristic view into how the Miami Dolphins operate in recent weeks — operate, at least, pending Brian Flores’ lawsuit — and how did you like it?
The good news is you can understand why the Dolphins haven’t won a playoff game in the 13 years of the Steve Ross Era. The bad news is you also understand why they might not win a playoff game moving forward.
Add up all the legal documents, NFL investigations and involved statements and you see Ross: angered his former coach, Flores, toward involvement in a historic lawsuit; negotiated with Deshaun Watson’s lawyer the need for sexual-allegation lawsuits to be settled against the quarterback, evidently without general manager Chris Grier’s knowledge; attempted to replace his young quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, with Tom Brady and hire Sean Payton while interviewing current coach Mike McDaniel.
