Jameis Winston suspended 3 games

[Flamma]

First three games, Saints, Eagles, Steelers. They would be fortunate to not be 0-3 with Winston.

My son warned me he was a end user.

But seems this has nothing to do with that.

How can your notify if you didn't do anything wrong?

It only applies if he knew about the incident before it went public and didn't report it.

Whether this is true or not I don't know. What I find odd is this happened over two years ago. Similar to the Zeke case, I never heard of this incident. When did it go public? It seems to me that Goodell is looking for bad publicity and dragging it to the surface.

NFL requires notifications of allegations regardless of guilt.

He's innocent I tell ya. LOL

 

[Blackspider214]

Wait, no witchhunt that takes over a year and handed down a 6 game suspension?

Screw Goodell.

Yeah, how does that work?....

"Hello Mr.Commissioner? Yes,this is Jamies....Jamies Winston.....QB for Tampa Bay?.....Yes sir, that's me.....well....anyway.....I've been a baaaaad boy!"

It allegedly happened in March 2016 but didn’t become public until Nov 2017. As far as I know it’s another “he said, she said” with no proof. I guess other players do get suspended for potentially false allegations, imagine that.

I’m guessing the lighter suspension is because a) he allegedly grabbed her crotch so the NFL puts more emphasis on allegedly hitting a woman and b) it was an alleged one time incident. Just my thoughts obviously.

He was notified by Uber that a formal complaint was filed against him. I guess the NFL has rules that if complaints are filed against a player by a company or for certain offenses then the player needs to notify the NFL. Really not that unheard of, I’m supposed to notify my employer if I even get a speeding ticket.

You know how it goes. He will appeal, appeal and appeal. Will get dropped and he will serve one game.

He does not plan to appeal

like that documentation of conduct unbecoming concercerning, OB junior,,,perhaps?




* an elected state/ federal official would have to dig deep in there back pocket to keep that negative blacklash of the 'press' Pushing /playing it like a drum, to keep there job,these days,,,this LEAGUE needs BUSTED UP thru the federal Ronnie Reagan R .I.C.O. act & have the "feds" start skimming a vast amount away from this little 'sweet gig' a rarified few Fandangled their casing-liners into

The buccs arent contenders but that sucks for them.

So simple assault gets 6 games and sexual assault gets half that?

Goodell justice remains stupid.

And accusations gets you 6 games too... But your point is well taken

Actually...I thought they were a real sleeper this season. If they can get that suspension down to 2 games...then they split W/L....then they can still compete...

I see them as the 4th best in their division let alone the rest of the nfc.

Not w/ that D-line. I still think they are gonna make a couple of moves...rumors of Kenny Vacaro to beef up that secondary could really help them. Plus I love the Ronald Jones pick...

I dont see it but that's why the games are played. Hoping were better than expected also.

So Saints, Eagles, and Steelers go against a 1-8 QB in Fitzpatrick to start the season? I shouldn’t take Mike Evans in fantasy within the first 3 rds?

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

The league is walking down a slippery slope with these punishments where the real law is not even pressing charges. What is to stop a fan from a rival coming out and accusing a player to get the league to suspend a super star for a few games. I don’t want or need the NFL becoming a criminal court.
