Watson Given 11 Game Suspension

[Proudiddy]

Per ESPN/Schefter.

Dude is indeed diabolical horny and a predator, but I do/did believe in his on-field ability, but after seeing/hearing early reviews of how he's looked, then add an 11 game suspension on top of missing a full year before that...  that's gonna be tough to come back from.  Also, unless Brissett can set the world on fire, it sounds like a wasted year for the Browns.

that effectively wrecks the browns season

Why not just make it the whole season? I’m so glad I don’t have to see that guy in a Panther’s uniform.

The league bent itself into more positions than a contortionist trying to look like they were being tough on him while not actually being anywhere near as tough as they should have been.

Not sure whether women's groups will give them a pass on this. Honestly, I'll laugh if they don't.

[Riverboat Ron]

I’m just waiting for him to appeal and get to play week one but serve the rest of his suspension afterwards.

Bring him on!

He will have missed 28 straight games by the time he suits back up.

I have a feeling this may happen.  No way the Browns essentially lay down and blow a year with him.  This isnt over.  The NFLPA is going to appeal if they can and who knows from there

I've thought about that, but I don't think it's possible considering this was agreed to by both the NFLPA and the NFL.  And the NFL reportedly wanted an entire season at minimum, so I'm thinking this isn't really the kind of suspension he can appeal.

Wow, no poo…. Kind of shows you how “serious” the NFL is taking this.

The way this is being reported is that the NFL and NFLPA agreed to this. Could be wrong...
