There better be a really good explanation for the suspension length or I think there will be some serious repercussions among fans, especially women. Right now it clearly sends the message that as long as you're a star, you can do whatever the hell you want. 

But hey, the next time another player is accused of something like this we should expect him to dress for a game, but only be required to sit out the 1st quarter.

So for the equivalence of Derrick Brown, Star Lotuleli and Vernon Butler we could have had Watson and 6 game wrist slap had Mr. Brass Balls money talks just guaranteed his contract

 

 Yay for Baker / Darnold

This would depend greatly on whether or not you think this is the last time Watson will be in the news for doing stupid poo. To me the odds don't favor the Browns. Even with this news I still say they saved us from ourselves.

This is what people said with Ray Rice and nothing happened to the NFL.  Nothing will happen this time either.

Even if he stays out of the news the rest of his career, this could still be a disastrous trade for Cleveland.

The nfl is corrupt. If anyone has a problem with this they should stop watching now. If you look at this as just entertainment and not some sort of morality show then you’ll stop yourself from being disappointed. 

Indeed.

If you are looking for fairness in the NFL(or most professional sports) you are going to be sorely disappointed. 

Better just get over it now or move on to another sport. I can promise you that if Watson resumes being an elite QB, in two years people will barely recall this.

Reference any number of NFL players that continued their careers after incidents as bad or worse than Watson.

It just is what it is.

Bingo!  Rules for thee, but not for me.  So as long as his accusers got paid, the penalty was less severe.  If only Watson could have upped the sum enough to make this go away sooner, hell, he could have been starting week 1.

If it were you, you wouldn’t be suspended from your job at all because chances are they’d never know. Again 0 criminal charges, and they looked into it.

This is a woman making the decision and announcement.   That makes it interesting.  Does she do anything that disgraces her gender in a male-dominated industry?  I do not think so.

Unfortunately I think they put her front and center as damage control. I don’t remember the disciplinary officer being this publicized.

Bear in mind, the NFL only submitted five cases to be reviewed. I could easily see the NFL stating that this was the penalty for those five. For the other umpteen cases out there, an additional six games (or more) could be applied. 

The five cases had the most evidence, so they carried the most weight, but the sheer number of remaining cases makes adding more games reasonable. It's not reasonable to delay a decision while all of the other cases are explored further.

12 games is reasonable for ALL of the cases. Six is not.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
