im not trying to change your opinion. just pointing out the FACT that sports leagues think betting on games is about more important than ANYTHING.
Yeah, I get ya man. No probs. I’m not a fan of Rose, but I am for justice.

Morale of the story is Houston produces better lawyers than Dallas.

If there is significant backlash from the media they would. Probably why the process allows the NFL a 3 day period to appeal after the ruling has been made.
Fair point. Going to be interesting for sure.

on one hand they look bad if appealing the first arbitrator case in one hand.
Get eviscerated in the media if you let the 6 game suspension stand.... the NFL looks way better in the public eye slamming watson because the general public pays less attention than those in this forum, and those in this forum cant even get the facts straight. Whats that say about the general public?
How would Captain Kirk deal with the No Win Situation?

Crap. His solution doesn't work here and now.

come on, guys. he learned his lesson and we hope he and Kelvin turn their lives around.
I know you mean to make an emotional statement and yeah, I get you.
I agree with you.
But the rules are the rules that both sides agreed upon and they are being abided.

It may suck, it may not be fair, but they did this. Both sides.

So here we are. Go from there.

yea, its got nothing to do with the fact there is now an ARBITRATOR passing out punishments and not Roger.

But, hold tight, Roger still gets to decide this if he choses to. Then lets see how good Houston's lawyers are.

That would be excellent, which is a big reason why there's hesitation anyway.

How many games did Wade Wilson get suspended for due to PEDs when he was our QB coach? Not our backup QB, but our QB coach. I want to say 4 games off the top of my head. Wilson used PEDs for ED because of his diabetes and was suspended by Goodell. As a coach, not a player but a coach.

Forget about comparing Zeke and Watson's suspensions. I don't get how a coach can get suspended for 2 less games for PEDs than Watson who gave the NFL a PR nightmare and a massive black eye.

IMO the league will make money with Watson on the field and with selling Watson jerseys. For money reasons they need him on the field. That's why he's playing this season. The NFL doesn't give a crap about the safety of women, safety of players, player conduct and all the other BS they say they care about. It's all money and Watson makes money so Watson will play.

Maybe you should try reading from actual sources on this topic. It might help you understand the stuff that you look foolish complaining about a little better.

You guys complain about the NFL, but many of you continue to pony over your hard-earned money to them with abandon.

Go figure…. :rolleyes:

Different rules for owners and players? Go figure.
No joke.
Ah well...
I'm just gonna play some board game (probably War With The Evil Power Master, since she loves it) with my wife while an episode of Bob Ross plays on the TV.
Time to relax.

Have a great evening. You and the board.
Crap day and I just want to exhale.

I dunna care what the NFL did to Zeke as much as I care what the NFL and mediator did to women, who are seen as chatel and not fully invested in rights.
20+ women alleged sexual misconduct by Watson.
6 games is a slap in the face to women, an insult, a watershed event when, at last, the NFL said, we minimize you-we don't value you.
6 games suspension? tha is almost 3/4 of a game for each woman likely abused.
Shame.

I loved Star Trek. The Nxet Generation was one of the most intelligently written shows ever.

Give me "The Royal McCoys" anytime.

Want you to meet the family, known as The Real McCoys.
That's Grand Pappy Amos, the head of the clan,
he roars like a lion, but he's gentle as a lamb.

And now here's Luke who beams with joy
since he made Kate Missus Luke McCoy.

From West Virginee they came to stay in sunny Californi-ay.
Ol Grand Pappy Amos and the girls and the boys
of the family known as the Real McCoys
