Judge Recommends Suspension of 6 Games for Deshaun Watson

Because they stepped in a pile of shit over Ray Rice.

I'd certainly hope the Browns make better decisions regarding this stuff in the future.

You can't rewrite the collective bargaining agreement on the fly. If the NFL was this concerned about their perception to women they should have handled Kraft and Snyder much better.

The latter was promoting the most hostile work environment possible for women. Had they set the tone there they'd be arguing from a position of strength. The former frequented actual sex slaves. I mean...yikes.

Which is why I don't think Roger will do anything here. He can fire Sue Robinson from future cases I'd suspect. That's his save face. And address this issue in the next round of negotiations. Because if he pushes this he better be prepared to open a whole can of worms.

Don’t know if you’re aware, but Snyder just went through 11 hrs of liberal congress. Early reports are nothing really came out of it

After weeks of avoiding subpoena and remotely from his yacht...yes he did.

Interesting take on tv If RG changes the suspension only thing watson can do is go to federal court which will take a year or more so he can play this year but it puts next years 46 mil in jeopardy The plot thickens

For all the Brownie apologists....

And I seem to recall quite a bit of shit was stepped in with Earl Thomas. But he may have been a FA by the time all that crap surfaced?

I wouldn't say its society... rather politics & big business. Society still very much values them.

Fair point.

Y'all are lucky the Steelers brass didn't trade for him. I don't think the stink of this is going away anytime soon.

Not sure where the rumors came from but despite numerous reports, the Steelers were never an interested party in the Watson trade race. Everyone wanted to connect those imaginary dots simply based on need.

Thought I saw something about them being interested in a Tweet when the news broke Houston was willing to trade him earlier this year.

I must have missed something. How would appealing be going back on his word?

both parties agreed that they would honor the ruling.

 

[justanidiot]

We're talking about personal conduct off the field vs gambling that has on the field ramifications and directly effects the integrity of the game.

Those two things aren't comparable

ask Mike Vick about that.

 

[shopson67]

ask Mike Vick about that.

Can we stop with the false equivalencies? Vick was sentenced to 23 months in jail.

Yea numerous outlets reported it. TBH I was interested, but that was before I really knew the extent of what he was involved in

Again not to repeat myself it's just really funny seeing all the reactions given the very different dialog about this topic when it first surfaced. As I said it was 22 women almost from the word go.

And that doesn't just hold for this board. From the jump it was widely expected it was going to be 6 to 8 games and then the HBO deal hit and then all the sudden we should have him drawn and quartered in a public execution.

And again...dudes a creep. Wish he wasn't a Brown. But I think there is more consternation over the fact the Browns skirted him suffering a larger financial punishment than people are letting on.

I generally like and respect Kyle Brandt but I find this patently absurd.

"The threat of violence is worse than violence"
WTF?

What did Watson do as a supposed threat?

By his logic this was actually worse than Harvey Weinstein?

What are people talking about at this point

Wouldn't it be funny if Jackson hit hot water today?

I'd imagine it would increase their tolerance level for such things.
