Rigby Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 Ridiculously short amount of time...but not wholly suprising tbh. Hopefully NFL does the right thing here but I won't hold my breath.
Utah John Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson Deshaun loves you more than you will know Whoa, whoa, whoa God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson Heaven holds a place for those who play Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey The announcement of this incredibly light sentence justified it on the grounds that it's in line with similar sentences. Sure, ask Gruden about that. Or any player caught having smoked nearly-harmless weed. You're coo coo indeed, Mrs. Robinson.

I don’t think her “no fair notice” finding holds up when you have someone who has engaged in unprecedented behavior— which is a pattern of sexual conduct involving four different victims. It is unprecedented if you consider just the 4 victims, let alone the 66 possible victims. she says the prior punishments for non-violent conduct have been far less (3 games max), but I am not sure going only up to 6 games really appropriately accounts for the multiple victims. I saw a few places put it out there as such: "Robinson says that another player was suspended 3 games for sexual misconduct of a non-violent nature and that came after he was warned by the league after an offense." Apparently that is the major "precedent" case they are using.
Big Blitz Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 Lol lol nevermind. They gave the Browns ONE division game in the first 6 weeks and it's home vs Pittsburgh They already knew the outcome. This is settled. What a f...ing sham. 1

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, HereComesTheReignAgain said: Cleveland was a team that was easy to pull for with die hard fans that endured many losing seasons. Over the last several years, they have transformed the team to an extremely unlikable bunch with fans that are cheering for a sexual predator. I think the transformation started with the drafting of Mayfield. He was a cocky, immature little douche that had more success in commercials than on the field. Instead of moving on and getting a respectable face of the franchise, they decided to bring in Watson and his 20ish sexual assault cases. They went even further by structuring his contract in a way that allows him to dodge any real financial ramifications for his actions. I hope the Browns have another 20 year stretch without playoffs and the Watson contract turns out to haunt them. Haslam has shown his lack of character. It really makes you appreciate how Buffalo has built their team into a SB contender. They didn't sign the most repugnant players in the league, they valued character throughout the process. They assembled a team that their fans can be proud of. We get videos from camp showing the superstar QB giving a kid his signed cleats right off his feet and Diggs taking time to speak to a kid that recently lost his father. Cleveland has videos of people cheering for a guy that repeatedly exposed himself to massage therapists against their will (among other horrible things). Well said! I think Cleveland is in desperate times trying to compete in an arms race of the young Qbs. They had their chance and failed miserably with Baker. What’s the old saying that goes something along the lines of missing on a Franchise Qb can set the team back x number of years. Because of this They have sold out any sort of semblance of building a team the right way. I agree that they seemed to be a fun team to root for. They know all of this will be water under the bridge In time and Deshawn will be back and everyone will be asked to move on. but so classy (sarcastic) seeing those fans applaud him.. maybe it’s just a small minority that end up supporting him. I don’t know. All the more reason Buffalo will truly be rewarded when we win a Super Bowl. We have a SuperStar Qb who has the brightest future and right now still gives the time of day to every person that comes acorss his path. Loves the game . And all he ever got was getting dumped on by media year after year as a guy who wouldnt amount to anything.

Cleveland's 1st division game last year was week 8. Buffalo also has 1 divisional game in the 1st 6 weeks (technically 7) as their 8th game is vs the Jets. Edited August 1, 2022 by cle23
BillsfaninSB Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 I think Goodell will move it to an 8 game suspension to make it look like they are playing it a little tougher. All part of the plan. 8 games was the target for all several weeks ago.

I was just pointing out that I had no idea there was a Dee Haslam until I read that statement. NOW is the time they chose to trot her out.
Virgil Posted August 1, 2022 Posted August 1, 2022 I sadly think this is exactly what the NFL wanted. They can now wash their hands of the situation and attempt to look like the good guys. They let a 3rd party female decide on the outcome and now they can appeal as a sign of “outrage.” The whole punishment process needs to be re-evaluated. I know the NFLPA has to fight for their guys no matter what, but I wish the NFL would have given Watson the indefinite suspension like Garret and make him earn his way back. I would love to have seen the NFLPA publicly try to fight back and justify Watson’s actions. The whole thing sucks. The end result is that Watson ends up in a better situation, more money, and a free 6 week vacation. Pathetic. 1 2
