Hey Folks,

Brian Flores’ legal battle with the league has stretched on for years, with Roger Goodell and co.’s repeated attempts to change the course of the case. But it appears the court has had enough. A judge has now made it clear that the high-profile matter will move forward in court, handing the league a major setback.

The league’s latest attempts to settle the matter with Flores have fallen short.

Books closed Sunday. You found out Monday morning.

Most small teams close the books late, by hand, on a Friday nobody wanted to work. Viktor does it before you ask. He is an AI employee that lives in Slack and Microsoft Teams and runs your month-end close on a schedule. He reconciles Stripe, QuickBooks, and your bank, catches duplicate charges and anomalies, disputes them, updates the runway model, and rebuilds the board deck. Sunday night it is done and posted to #finance. Monday morning you read it with coffee, already finished. Viktor works across 3,200+ integrations, keeps your data private (it never trains models on it), and is SOC 2 certified. Start free with $100 in credits, no credit card.

Do you think Joe Flacco can still win another Super Bowl before hanging up his cleats?

Jerry Rice’s football journey began by accident. As a sophomore at B. L. Moor High School, he was caught skipping class and took off running to avoid the assistant principal. His speed was so impressive that the administrator told head coach Charles Davis, who immediately offered Rice a spot on the football team.

Rice’s mother initially refused to let him play because she thought the sport was “too rough,” but she eventually gave in after seeing his determination. He went on to play multiple positions before emerging as the team’s standout wide receiver.
