[Doomsday101]

[Sydla]

I was being sarcastic

 

[jterrell]

These chester the mol type dudes dont seem to stop.

I figured that out. I hope he is cleared by the NFL but I will say it is the actions of players that they end up putting their careers into the hands of the NFL. Most players can play their entire career with no suspension it should not be that hard to stay out of trouble

Seems the players are seeing the lack of evenness in this suspensions also.

I hope they keep speaking out.

Not really players betting on games can make the NFL look like pro wrestling. That is the last thing the league would want. Betting on games would go right out the window and so would billions of dollars. There is a reason that Pete Rose will never be allowed in the Hall of Fame.

 

[Diehardblues]

I don't believe I would call that "the high road" in this situation.

The high road would be doing what is right.

The league can’t control what the judge rules . Unlike before when the Commish made the decisions .

 

[Ranched]

The NFL is about as consistent as a 13 year old. I expected this guy to be out half a season at least.

Has nothing to do with the NFL. The NFL wanted to suspend him an entire year but were only allowed a maxium of 6 games per judge.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

We’ll see if the league accepts the 6 game suspension or will appeal since it fell short of their recommendations.

Or the league could simply take the high road saying they argued for more but accept the ruling.

The league could also argue pending the upcoming trials next year that more discipline could be forthcoming.

Of course they will...........trust me, they want this to simply go away. The dirty work was done by Robinson. The league used her platform to give the appearance of going hard after him but the truth is they never thought his behavior was that serious. IF they did, Goodell could have suspended him at least a year ago or at a minimum placed him on the exempt list. He did neither......

 

[trickblue]

Doesn't erase it for me. Tyrone Crawford got nothing for getting into a bar brawl and shoving a cop. Every situation is its own.

To each their own...

 

[Sarge]

Uhhh………….lame-ooooooooooooooo!

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

The league can’t control what the judge rules . Unlike before when the Commish made the decisions .

The NFL has 3 days to appeal the decision.

If either side appeals then Goddell will make the decision on the suspension.

So, no the NFL does not have control over the judge's decisions, but they can appeal and then suspend him however long they want.

 

[kskboys]

An utter travesty.
Goodell should be ashamed of himself.
The personal conduct policy is subjective and a sham!

Goodell? Man, they sure got you trained.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

It's only a matter of time before this bozo is in trouble again.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Is that source serious?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

so you rape or force yourself on 30+ women. you get 6 games.

your ex girlfriend accuses of abuse, with no proof, you get 6 games.

what in the ***

So, no the NFL does not have control over the judge's decisions, but they can appeal and then suspend him however long they want.

The fact that there was a suspension gives him that right to add or reduce.

He's got a female judge handing this down and I think he just wants this behind him.

 

[Motorola]

They wouldn't win.
The league and union gave Goodell this power.

The league = THE OWNERS

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Is that source serious?

Considering how Watson has acted though all of this I would say they're dead serious.

How long before he's in trouble for something again?

 

[Creeper]

Watson should have gotten a full year at least, but an indefinite suspension like they gave Randy Gregory would have been more appropriate. Just think, Gregory was suspended indefinitely for smoking pot. Watson gets 6 games after more than 20 women filed complaints against him - and there may be as many as 40 others out there who have not yet. In the meantime, Watson still have 4 ongoing civil complaints.

Anyone still want to believe Goodell is not biased against the Cowboys?
