Roger must have been extra angry he could only give six games to DeShaun so he makes up for it with Miami.
Roger didn't suspend Watson, it was the disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson, who imposed the 6-game suspension. Goodell will have the final say, he can still change the length of the suspension.

Damn… nice to see some accountability. Meanwhile the NFL gives Watson a slap on the wrist lol

Please catch Jerry tampering...... The loss of draft picks would be worth getting him suspended

They definitely tried to tank as well but since the NFL somehow can't get those messages or e-mails they don't lose draft picks for that.

By the current standards of punishment being tossed out by the NFL, if the Dolphins had sexually attacked women instead of approaching Brady, they might have only lost a fifth round pick.

Yet, they are deeply devoted to ridding the world of sexual harassment or violence. Just one of the many hypocrisies they spew.

Ironically, a Dolphin will dry hump a human. No questions asked.

The NFL is walking a very tight line with this gambling thing. They want the huge revenue stream from it, but they can't be seen as a corrupt game, or that money dries up and the Feds come poking around. That's why they are cracking down hard on any whiff of impropriety.

It's a joke that Calvin Ridley got banned indefinitely while DeShaun Watson got 6 games. But from Goodell's perspective, sexual assaults don't threaten the league's income half as much as confirmed "insider trading" on games does.

I 100% guarantee that Ross's offers to pay Flores for losing were serious, if anything because Ross is scummy enough to do it. But the NFL is never going to let that cat get out of the bag.

Man, so not only did they not find any evidence about the Flores thing, but it was also the Flores thing that scared Brady/Payton away. They lost on all levels.

Miami franchise rapidly becoming like Washington's - an organization rife with malfeasance and unruliness.
I was just about to say that.
Miami:
- Trying to talk to Brady while he's under contract
- Selects Tua over Herbert when the coach wanted the later.
- Fired coach says owner wanted him to throw games.
- Rumor has it that receivers aren't happy with Tua.

Did I miss anything.

Make no mistake about it. This punishment is for tanking.
