Gambling Suspensions

[VulturesRule]

Looks like four Lions are about to miss at least six games this season. Jameson Williams and Stanley Berryhill are looking at the six, while Quintez Cepheus and C. J. Moore may be suspended indefinitely. I think Dan needs to expand the cultural talking points - this is so disappointing.

I'm so f'ing pissed right now!!! Looks like we'll be drafting a receiver.

It's okay to beat your wife though.

3 of those don't matter. Williams is quickly becoming Holmes worst draft decision.

 

[Mebert]

It looks like Williams only bet on a college game. If he had not done it from a Lions facility there would be no suspension. That makes me feel a little better, I can see not knowing that side.

Cephus and Moore released by Detroit

Who even knew Cephus was still on the team?

Moore is a tough loss. Just signed a new contract, too.

Why stop now?

CJ Moore was decent too. Thankfully we signed MJJ. We probably will draft a top TE too.

MJJ was signed to replace Chris Board, who left.

Apparently, gambling was a thing at Allen Park. Firings throughout the organization.

Report: Lions fired several staff members in multiple departments for gambling

Gambling appears to have been widespread within the Lions organization last season.

He is still better than Cephus

No shit. I do not understand the big deal with gambling. If you are not throwing games what's the BFD?

Beat your wife...oh, the poor guy. That was a bad decision. Must be stress. He needs counseling.

Drunk driving...oh, the poor guy. What's causing this destructive behavior in which he puts innocent lives at risk? Counseling.

Drugs...oh, the poor guy. He has an illness. Counseling.

Gambling...THAT NO GOOD SON-OF-A-BITCH. KICK HIS ASS OUT THE LEAGUE FOREVER...FOREVER...FOREVER (echo).

It's bullshit.

Who? I can't believe he was even still on the team.

My point is that MJJ doesn't mitigate CJ Moore's loss at all, because he's already replacing a different loss on special teams.

So what do they do? draft a WR in the 1st round? Find another WR FA? Ride out the storm till JAMO comes back. Kind of really throws a wrench in their draft.

I don't think it affects their draft. There are still good WR free agents available if they're really worried about it.

As it is, Jamo will still be available for twice as many games as he was last year.

I am notnworried about WR. Chark only played a few games anyway, so Jones Jr more than makes up for that. Lions are better off on offense than they had been last year and the offense was pretty damn good last year. We would be better with Willaims, but will be fine without him.

This is a good TE draft. I guy like Mayer not only makes the passing game better but also the running game.

I would prefer Kraft at 81 over Mayer at 18.

Darnell Washington at 55 would be pretty cool

We could cut Jones and it wouldn’t matter. He’s old. Chark is dangerous when healthy. Marv isn’t.

They need to draft a receiver early now imo.
