NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[fightinfunbags]

An indefinite suspension is ridiculous. And again I will refer back to my point...how the hell does the NFL allow a trade involving Deshaun Watson to occur if there was even a hint of them going for an indefinite suspension?

All of this stuff was public knowledge WELL before the trade

Cleveland takes on that risk when they trade for him. Caveat emptor

 

[fightinfunbags]

Oh I get that. I'm just saying the Browns have a more than fair gripe if the league went for an indefinite suspension.

No they don’t.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Not to mention so....the team that enabled this behavior gets off scott free?

You don’t have to call people names

They paid a settlement right?

 

[thunderc]

They paid a settlement right?

Plus they have to live in Houston.

 

[Black Adam]

They will probably negotiate on less than a full season and a HEFTY FINE.

The old hit 'em in the pocket trick...

 

[Black Adam]

Fair point...

 

[Stakesarehigh]

To the women yes.

In terms of having 3 first round picks for enabling reckless behavior within their organization they've received no penalty from the league.

So I wonder how WiggityWack feels about his prediction of Watson having a better season than Mahomes these days...?

Yeah 8 to 10 games should be the absolute maximum

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah 8 to 10 games should be the absolute maximum

A season is possible from what I've been hearing, but yeah, 8 to 10 sounds fair...

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Yeah 8 to 10 games should be the absolute maximum

And truth be told I can see a year for the egregiousness of his behavior and that it freezes his contract. It's a double whammy

But that's the max.

Is there a precedent for teams being penalized by the NFL when players transgress? I honestly don’t know.

I’m not sure the league could do anymore to hurt them than Bill O’Brien did

I'm referring moreso to the allegations that the organization aided him in his pursuit of massage therapists

Goodell should not hand this off to anyone, he should take it on himself.

Just like he took on the owners? This guy has no idea what he is doing at this point.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Watson would be smart to take the suspension....Brady caved on his because it was taking so damn long.

What suspension? It depends on how long it is. 12 or longer the NFLPA/Watson should not take it. 8-10, I agree.

They proposed 12 and they declined. Anything more than 10 is ridiculous

You realize he works for the owners right?
