Can/Will the NFL suspend Norman?

I saw that the league was looking at possible disciplinary action for Norman too. My question is do you think the league can/will suspend Norman if he did indeed say those things to OBJ, and they have video proof?

Do you think this will completely change the way the mental battle between players is played? Obviously Norman hit a soft spot somewhere and if he did say it and video is released, the PC crowd will be calling for punishment and the league could fold into it. He'll obviously be punished in some shape or form.

Richie Incognito was suspended for a full season, by the dolphins, for what he said to Martin. A league punishment would be significantly smaller, but something tells me they would overdo it and suspend Norman for the final 2 games.

No on the J-No suspension. What in the wide world of sports does Richie Incognito have to do with anything? Please don't answer that rhetorical question and my apologies if I sound demeaning ahead of time.

Incognito was suspended for using slurs and discriminating against his teammate. He was suspended for a full season.

Norman using anti gay slurs could be seen as discrimination by homosexual support groups and they could push for punishment and the NFL could fold. Whether you want to believe it or not, both slurs are equally discriminating. 

Let me make it clear that I don't think Norman said it and this is just an attempt by OBJ and the giants to push the blame and play the victim card. BUT alot of things are said on the field that we don't know, and if Josh did say it, there WILL be some type of punishment and a backlash from groups calling for more than fines. 

Just wondering if you guys think the League would take it that far.

Man...incognito was texting slurs, harrassing Martin and using hazing tactics. 

What does this have anything to do with J-no talking smack in one game against a foe.

go post this bs in one of the other 20-threads about this stupid bs...just stop talking/thinking about it. 

Just ignore it and it will go away. Stupid-ass thread and I am ashamed of myself for posting in it.

They couldn't find the evidence that Houchuli told Cam he was too young to get that call, so why would something turn up? That's IF Josh did say anything. It's just Odell's word that he did, and his credibility is shot.

Look, it's New York. They deny, deny, deny. And if the evidence is overwhelming, such as clear video proof that most of the nation saw live, then deflect, deflect, deflect. Odell earholing Josh is undeniable. So the only thing they can do is write up these character assassination hit pieces to try to salvage some silver lining out of the wreckage. It won't work. Josh will probably get a fine, but he's playing the Falcons in 5 days, unless the concussion doctors say the earhole shot he took puts him in the concussion protocol.

Incognito was texting Martin and that was the evidence to suspend Incognito. I'm sure if Josh had been texting taunts to Odell, that would be used as the proof of harassment instead of being frightened by a bat and alleged slurs.

If there were slurs that were easily heard the officials should and typically will call a 15 yarder for taunting.  So it obviously wasnt that noticeable.  Because they did call 3 penalties on Beckham after the first quarter when everyone was told to stop it.  That is the real issue to me.  Things were chippy and things were said and done in the first quarter.  But after that OBJ kept it up and even escalated while Norman did not. So no he wont be suspended but will likely be fined.  Still OBJ lost a lot more money with a one game suspension without pay which works out to around 160,000.

      I mean, at the time that wouldn't have worked for them. The truth is that when they had the biggest advantage in that conversation was also when Notre Dame was at their peak arrogance and revenue stream creation(prior to the Longhorns Network, etc). Notre Dame was just never going to work out. The biggest thing they could have done is go hard AF and try to give insane deals to the premier Big 12 teams. Even then, most of them were eyeing the Big Ten and SEC. The biggest issue with the ACC was betting wrong. Miami and Virginia Tech ended up being disasters. Basically former college football powerhouses that ended up being afterthoughts by the time they arrived. I mean Miami specifically have literally had a total of three double digit win seasons since they joined the ACC in 2004 and two of those are in the past 2 seasons. Virginia Tech just fell apart at the wrong time, although I think Franklin will bring them back to prominence to an extent. Had we had it to do in hindsight, probably taking teams like TCU, Baylor, etc would have been wiser options than some of the moves into the Northeast and getting Miami.   But, ultimately, fug all this nonsense. It's the insane greed of college football that killed regional rivalries, college basketball and entire storied, REGIONAL conferences. That is the real blame. The thirst for the destruction of all college sports which sits squarely at the feet of the slobbering, ignorant rednecks and hillbillies at the top of the college football sphere.
