Jeff Taylor receives 24 game suspension

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

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
