I said I thought doubling was the limit of where they would go. They care about this "new disciplinary process" holding. That is why Goodell and his client journalists have been trumpeting how great the process is since the CBA. 

 

I am not surprised. 

 

My next prediction is Watson and the NFLPA will not seek to challenge the process in the courts. I think this is the end of the matter (save obviously for further evidence emerging later). 

 

They'd have a hard time with damages since this was a settlement.

I mean they settled so I don't see how they would challenge it at this point.

Ah right. Only just got the notification off the tube. 

 

In which case it is definitely over.

This is why I’d prefer the fine to be a percentage of his total salary, but I guess there’s no precedence for that.

Yea deleted my post. I only read the notification.

Now back to slightly less scummy? Jimmy Haslam.

Who compared this to a flu? It’s a mental illness, similar to the guy who runs around flashing people behind a trench coat. That’s what my “sickness” term referred to.

 

So what could be described in the most charitable sense as a paraphilia can be cured with a little time on the couch and what, an SSRI?

What a coincidence, he makes it back just in time to face his old team in a game that nobody would have watched otherwise. The almighty dollar wins again.

And you're gonna watch it.

I think he shold be forced to give massages during his suspension...  You know somebody will want a happy ending

Only if it’s to other men…😉

When this thing was heading to the initial hearing, I predicted 12 games. 
 

This was a good deal for Watson.
 

But if he truly is a serial predator, this won’t be the last we hear from him.

A lot of people will…hoping our man Jerry does the deed and ends this scumbag.

Not sure, as I’ve never had therapy or know the outcome of most cases, but the league assigned it so they must believe it works. Maybe those who got counseling for some mental health issue can speak to this better.

 

EDIT: the fact that Watson STILL sees no wrongdoing on his part is his biggest hurdle. Could counseling give him that perspective he lacks? If he doesn’t appear in the news again for a related charge we might have our answer.

Oh good Mrs. Haslam assured us they're throwing a million dollars at charity thus solving the moral issue.

Hughes had 3 sacks on him in the Playoff game

Committed to personal growth? He didn't take any responsibility.

[Logic]

Disgusting.

So a sexual deviant should be killed? Watson clearly has a sickness that needs to be addressed, but wishing he’d die is pretty over the top. If he was found guilty of a crime then he’d be behind bars, not returning to the field in 11 weeks. 

I don't think predators can be addressed or fixed and I wouldn't shed any tears,

[Warcodered]

Oh good Jimmy Haslam has seen him grow, he seems like a trustworthy individual.

I hope the counseling is real and not just some dude paid a lot of money to put a check in a box that Watson showed up.

[qwksilver]

For those wishing injury, I believe he would still get paid.
