I don't care 1 iota about what happens to Watson but I do care about what's going to happen to Kelvin Joesph.What a dumpster fire!

Thye get in line quickly these days.Man they going to keep coming for this guy. He's a walking ATM now. I might file to see if can get in the lottery this guy got going on .
I'm real curious as tow hat the commish is gone do here..
No criminal cases with the grand jury not indicting on any of the +20 claims, and 20 civil cases settled out of court is a joke. I would sue the NFL if it suspended me. Robert Kraft had his massages and nothing was done to suspend him.
Care about bothI don't care 1 iota about what happens to Watson but I do care about what's going to happen to Kelvin Joesph.
I don't know if the grand jury examined all 20+ claims.
And you could sue, but you likely wouldn't win. The league - including players and owners - gave these powers to Goodell.
Dak’s accuracy far exceeds staffordI agree with a lot of the above except that probably 15 QB's could have won the Superbowl with that roster last season. For a start it wouldn't include Prescott - had he attempted the clutch no look pass on 3rd down in the 4th quarter he would have ended up throwing the ball to Jerry in the stands
We will have to agree to disagreeDak’s accuracy far exceeds stafford
They could have probably win with Jimmy G on that roster. Jimmy G was one dropped int from getting there and he’s not a great QB. That Rams roster has the best defensive player in the game and the hardest to cover WR in the game. They are loaded
I think if we just put jimmy in the ROH and fire Rowdy we’d be ready to roll lol

I think the initial ruling will be anything between 12 games to a full season. Perhaps it gets appealed down to 10-12. I can't see how the final number is anything less than 10.
My guess:
24 months (of which 12 will be suspended). Appeal will go in reducing it to 12 games (with rest suspended)
You're right. He should sue the NFL.If all those women settle like this, then it was a money grab and Watson should not be suspended for any games.

Only him and the wimmins know if he did wrong or not but I believe they were filing the cases claiming there was shall we say...no mutual consent of a happy ending that he did anywayWell what did he do wrong? I dont see anything that he did.
It should be a 1 year suspension at a minimum IMO.
Think they will appeal and knock it down but the NFL can't bury this story.

Thru there first 6 season which is Dak totalWe will have to agree to disagree
Dak over Stafford...this place is a scream
Mr box score. Cousins is more accurate than Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers based on box scores in recent years yet who would I prefer to throw into a tight window...gee let me think about that oneThru there first 6 season which is Dak total
Comp pct
Stafford 59.13
Dak 66.6
Yes, Dak is more accurate
I agree with your post of 6 games suspension. The issue is there was no criminal assault or felony (no indictment), he has never had any prior violations, and no one involved had the inability not to give consent (no one said they were held by force as you usually get a massage naked in a lying down position). So 6 games with an appeal will probably happen.https://nflcommunications.com/Documents/2018 Policies/2018 Personal Conduct Policy.pdf
NFL PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY
League Policies for Players
2018
"...Following review, the Commissioner, either directly or through a member of his staff, will communicate his decision to the player regarding any disciplinary action to be taken. Depending on the nature of the violation and the player’s record, discipline may be a fine, a suspension for a fixed or an indefinite period of time, a combination of the two, or banishment from the league with an opportunity to reapply...
With regard to violations of the Personal Conduct Policy that involve: (i) criminal assault or battery (felony); (ii) domestic violence, dating violence, child abuse and other forms of family violence; or (iii) sexual assault involving physical force or committed against someone incapable of giving consent, a first offense will subject the offender to a baseline suspension without pay of six games, with consideration given to any aggravating or mitigating factors. The presence of possible aggravating factors may warrant a longer suspension. Possible aggravating factors include, but are not limited to, a prior violation of the Personal Conduct Policy, similar misconduct before joining the NFL, violence involving a weapon, choking, repeated striking, or when an act is committed against a particularly vulnerable person, such as a child, a pregnant woman, or an elderly person, or where the act is committed in the presence of a child. A second offense will result in permanent banishment from the NFL. An individual who has been banished may petition for reinstatement after one year, but there is no presumption or assurance that the petition will be granted..."

Without question, Watson will get six games. The real question is how many more games will he miss?
As always, policy gives Goodell leeway in discipline enforcement. Another consideration is policy making a slight differentiation between criminal and non-criminal (i.e. civil) definitions.
Watson was hit with several dozen civil lawsuits. If-and-until Watson gets indicted for criminal charges (which failed last March), Goodell can justify his disciplinary actions as severe but 'fair'. That takes permanent banishment (subject to automatic appeal) off the table and rests 'fixed or indefinite period of time' squarely on top of it.
No public relations blitz can dismiss the large number of civil lawsuits. It is nothing Goodell can do about that. Any suspension less than one year will not be seen as 'severe enough'.
Two years or more will create even more attention since enough of the Browns fanbase will be publicly voicing their discontent with their quarterback situation remaining unresolved. Media coverage would re-ignite negatively, perhaps too strongly, and that is the LAST thing Goodell would want.
In my opinion, the disciplinary compromise will fall between one and two years. The league's black eye will have recovered by the Super Bowl. Cleveland's front office will have accurately projected how events would play out given the information they had obtained themselves. The only public 'outrage' will be directed at Goodell during the late April draft with the same moronic booing-and-hissing he has received for practically his entire tenure it seems (which only makes the owners want to make him even richer lol). Watson will return for OTA's. Then minicamp. Then first training camp. The NFL may schedule his 2023 team's first couple of games early Sundays. No primetime. No Thursdays. His first late game Sunday or primetime game will not be promo blitzed by the network broadcasting the game. And Watson will finally trot out under the big lights for the first time, probably without much public protest inside or outside the stadium.
Well. That is how I see it all playing out.
