Kelly the Dog Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Maybe coaches, like players, get game checks. So that would be the actual punishment. He misses a couple games and a couple pay checks with each one being 1/16 of 1m. That way the team benefits from having him the whole preseason and he suffers a real penalty but keeps his job.
hondo in seattle Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Hard to discipline a guy when there's no definitive account of what happened and no court case.
The Wiz Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Hard to discipline a guy when there's no definitive account of what happened and no court case. Isn't this the type of situation that most of TBD has been saying to "set a precedent"?
KDS73 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I wonder if the NFL will continue to investigate now that the two sides have reached this "agreement." Kromer may not be out of the woods yet.
Saxum Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 The case appears to be one of exaggeration - one report said there were three kids involved or witnessing it and now there are two and the 'disruption in their lives' may be getting caught embellishing something which occurred to the cops or inconsistent stories which may be torn apart by laywers. Kromer may insist his day in court despite their wishes to clear his name even it means some things come out which would hurt him.

YoloinOhio Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 I wonder if the NFL will continue to investigate now that the two sides have reached this "agreement." Kromer may not be out of the woods yet. while i agree he may not be out of the woods yet completely, I think in terms of a league punishment he is ok. It was reported that Kromer's punishment was at the discretion of the team after they worked with the league. However, I think the DA could still elect to press charges based on the evidence even if the victim drops them. Not sure though.
JoeF Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) My first reaction on this was the Bills had grounds to fire him at the initial arrest...my speculation that the arrest alone violated a personal conduct clause in his employment contract. I still don't know that I agree with keeping him (again my personal opinion). Get him into camp and move on I guess. Maybe he and Brady can hang together in September....on the beach...play deflated sand volleyball and sit on beach chairs...you know guy stuff. Edited August 1, 2015 by JoeF
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 He and Brady can hang out and watch the game together! Vic says he will still work camp, then be suspended to start the season...

YoloinOhio Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Typically a simple assault charge requires a complainant. ah, didn't know that... That is good news
LB3 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 ah, didn't know that... That is good news Did you delete the injuries thread?
YoloinOhio Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Did you delete the injuries thread?Yes, 2nd time in one day. I was accused of being a jinx by another poster. I am irrationally superstitious. So - I had to do it.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I doubt any money changed hands. It says "both sides reached an amicable settlement" That usually means "accused made plaintiff happy enough to drop charges" which usually means $$
Doc Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 That's exactly what happened. I'd bet my house on it. It's illegal to pay someone to drop charges, but it clearly happened here. It is? Why? Typically that's what people are looking for anyway so why not cut out the middle man? Kromer is definitely staying. It's good to hear he'll be working with them during camp, and I figure they'll suspend him for the first game only, figuring Dareus is out anyway and it's the Colts who are favored, so if they lose, no biggeee.

Can't afford to lose too many games this year, especially home games.
