Yes. Roger Goodell could put Watson on an indefinite suspension only if the arbiter finds him guilty of violating the personal conduct policy. If she doesn't then he gets no suspension and there's nothing the NFL can do about it. If he is found guilty, Goodell could reduce or increase the number of suspended games that the arbiter sentences Watson too based off an appeal either by the NFL or Watson. However, since this is the first test of the real process I highly doubt he'll overrule Robinson's decision unless she suspends him an excessively high number of games (or seasons).

Locked on Bills Podcast: A Case for Tremaine Edmunds
Doc Brown replied to TC in St. Louis's topic in The Stadium Wall
So is letting a rookie play out his fifth year option without re-signing him long term. There should be options out there in the draft (Noah Sewell out of Oregon. Trenton Simpson out of Clemson, DeMarvion Overshown out of Tennessee to name a few). They can always address the position in free agency or via trade too. -
Not really. All I see our two potential RT's that struggled in pass protection last year. Brown has the physical ability to make a significant leap and hopefully Kromer helps him make that leap. RT remains my number one concern on the offense this year though.

Locked on Bills Podcast: A Case for Tremaine Edmunds
Doc Brown replied to TC in St. Louis's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is exactly my thinking but they didn't seem that interested in drafting his replacement either. Bernard is too small to replace him which still makes me scratch my head on why the Bills spend a 3rd round pick on him with Milano locked up through 2024. My gut tells me that they're going to let him play out this year and if he doesn't improve they'll let him walk unless they can get him at what they see as fair market value. Then they'll likely draft his replacement and rely on the veterans to give the rookie a crash course in their scheme. -
I'm not saying they weren't bad but I was just questioning that stat you were using claiming they were dead last because I hadn't seen it before. Allen's ability to elude pressure did hide a glaring weakness on this team as it's pretty amazing we finished 24th in pressure % per drop back (according to next Gen stats you linked) but somehow finished 2nd in sacks allowed.

Liz’s political calculus - next prez
Doc Brown replied to Over 29 years of fanhood's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I didn't read any of the replies but my guess is she's trying to preserve the legacy of the neocons (her father and the Bush administration) in that although they lied to us about going into a costly war they did so with the best intentions as the greatest country in the world. This rise of the Tea Party and the election of Trump was a giant middle finger to that regime. She doesn't like that and this is her way of fighting back. -
I'm looking at PFF and they have the Dolphins o-line as giving up the most pressures with 235. If yolo used PFF rankings that's much lower than 125. PFF had us ranked in the middle of the pack overall (17th) but I couldn't find the exact number of pressures/sacks allowed. It's pry safe to say it's nowhere near dead last though like you claim. The Bills had problems on the o-line last year in pass protection but I think you're overstating how bad they actually were.

Out of curiosity, where are you getting this stat?
-
I didn't say they all were but let's be real here. About 90% of abortions in the US are among unmarried women and with that likely increasing in many red states I don't see how that won't be a more heavy burden on the tax payer. Especially since low income women are the least likely to have the money to both travel to another state and pay for an abortion.

Regardless if you're hunches are correct, I just want to say thank you for doing one of the most thankless and underappreciated jobs out there.

As a taxpayer, does it make more sense as a taxpayer to pay to prevent a pregnancy than pay for 18 years of welfare for single mothers?
-
May want to add Von Miller to that list. I guess this list is made concurrent with pro bowl voting only to players so forget about Allen's performance in the playoffs. I'll go Allen, Diggs, Miller, and White. Poyer and Hyde should be on there but it's a popularity contest. Allen doesn't go in the top 40 and Lamar does just based off Josh not making the pro bowl with players not putting much time into it. This board will be up in arms.

Best: 2003: 31-0 Win over Pats. It was our time to take over the division and have Bledsoe lead us to a Super Bowl. Worst: 2003: 31-0 win over Pats. False hope. The Pats won the Super Bowl and we finished 6-10.

PFT is my go to because the NFL wishes it would go away.

That's the law on the books right now but it will change on July 7th. A near-total ban on abortion will become law in Mississippi in 10 days after Attorney General Lynn Fitch published a bulletin with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office this morning certifying that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. The certification paves the way for a 2007 trigger law to become effective on July 7, 2022; it will “prohibit abortions in the state of Mississippi” at any stage “except in cases where necessary for the preservation of the mother’s life or where the pregnancy was caused by rape.” In order to obtain an abortion under the law, a rape victim must have reported the assault to law enforcement. Anyone violating that law by providing an abortion could face up to 10 years in prison, the same as Mississippi’s pre-Roe v. Wade abortion laws. At Fitch’s urging, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed majority overturned the 49-year-old precedent on June 24, 2022, and upheld Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Friday’s ruling immediately banned most abortions after 15 weeks, but the much harsher 2007 law will force the state’s only abortion clinic, the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, to completely cease providing abortions on July 7.

Don't get me started with that. LOL. This is an abortion thread so I won't sway the conversation.

That's true but they're much more likely to graduate so they have the means of paying it off with their advanced degrees. It's why just forgiving all student debt is just a really dumb idea.
-
Not sure but about 75% of those who didn't graduate with loans attended private universities that are obviously way more expensive than state schools and now are way in debt because of it. By forgiving student loans we're basically bailing a lot of people out who made the bad choice to attend a private school and were too lazy and/or competent to graduate. Got to love America.
-
About 37% of student loan debt is amongst those who didn't graduate from four year schools so are they considered non-college educated?

You make a great case of why it should be left up to the voters.
