Lions Dom Raiola Suspended 1 Game Without Pay

For stomping on Bears DT yesterday. Sorry if this should be in other forum but I think it relates to the Panthers. This is complete fuging bullshit. Burfict did something equally as bad, or even worse, to Cam AND Olsen in that game and got fined barely a dime. What a crock. If Burfict did that sh(t to Brady, Maning, Luck, Brees, Rodgers, Wilson, etc. he'd have been suspended at least 2 games. Wow.

First off wrong forum. Secondly that wasn't dudes first attempt to hurt someone this year. He had already been fined. To my knowledge burfict hadn't been penalized for a similar act. Maybe because he's too stupid and knocks himself out of games before having the chance. But the point remains

Wish I could say that I was surprised. The NFL doesn't give a damn about player safety.

 

Meanwhile they suspend players an entire season for smoking marijuana.

 

He signed a contract saying he wouldn't smoke pot, and he violated it twice and payed the penalty for it. If he didn't want a suspension, he should have been smarter about when to smoke pot (like everyone else is), or abstained all together. The rule may be stupid, but there are plenty of pot-smoking players, Josh Gordon just isn't smart enough to do what they do.

I like the sound of that.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
