why can't the nfl be this good? Rice should have got 6 games off the bat and no one would have said poo.

Seriously. Then again Silver had a front row seat to "what not to do" and his memo covered all the bases.

He explains the different committees the NBA has to handle these cases, the experts that were consulted, and of course his own morality. It's all very well thought out and thorough.

He even got the punishment assessment right, counting the games already served while making sure the league gets their 24 game checks.

No doubt the league is in great hands right now.

If the Rice incident never happened Taylor would've been suspended the first 3 or 5 games and nobody would've blinked an eye. It would've been briefly mentioned on ESPN once or twice but that's it. Since it did happen, Taylor was suspended nearly a 1/3 of the season and it's a headline on ESPN.

Don't act like Silver and the NBA are moral saints or geniuses. It's like your friend failing a test then giving you the answer sheet. Would've been pretty hard for them to screw this up.

The NBA PA is prepared to appeal this suspension on Jeff's behalf.

Edit: didn't realize the ability to embed tweets had disappeared. This is per Marc Stein:

NBA Players Association's Michele Roberts blasts 24-game ban meted out to Charlotte's Jeffrey Taylor and says union "stands ready" to appeal

 

NBA Players Association, though, is leaving ultimate decision on whether to appeal through an independent arbitrator to Taylor and his reps

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
