Ban him from the league.

 

[ghst187]

If the NFL doesn't suspend him for a year then they need to publicly apologize to Hardy and publicly admit that they favor the NYG and are total hypocrits.
Total Bullshavic if he doesn't get booted out the league.

What happens here will prove once and for all if Mara really runs this league.

NFL logic
Odell kicking net > Wife beater

If NYG knew about this the league needs to come down on them ala Brady and the Pats.

This has been a story all offseason. When SHE said he did all those things, the NFL and the Giants poo-pooed it. Now it's coming out that he admitted to it. NOW I guess it's okay to be outraged. *rollseyes*

And what he admitted to was worse than anything Greg Hardy was accused of and I'm no defender of him, either.

Totally agree. The NFL and the Giants were previously aware of this. Now that that info with Brown on public record is out there will the NFL and or Giants back peddle on their support? Either way they (NFL and Giants) screwed up big time and could have avoided this by dealing with it the right way from the beginning.

He should've been given six games based on the policy set in place after the Ray Rice incident.

They ignored it and so now they got the whole NFL world watching to see how they're going to respond.

If I'm a teammate, I'm looking at him sideways too.

And can I just add that they took this chance on a kicker? That's one player you could've swapped out for a Billy Cundff in a pinch and Brown would've been ostracized never to be seen again.

Violations of the personal conduct policy call for a player to face a "baseline" six-game suspension, but that was not what happened in Brown's case.

The New York Daily News obtained police reports that showed 911 recordings on consecutive days and a lengthy statement from Brown's then-wife to a detective and court official detailing 20 incidents. The statement NYDN obtained alleged that Brown had pushed his wife into a door when she was pregnant, once shoved her into a mirror and threatened her a number of times.

But the NFL, in announcing the suspension, stated: "Our investigators had insufficient information to corroborate prior findings. The NFL therefore made a decision based on the evidentiary findings around this one incident [Brown's arrest] as provided to us by the District Attorney."

What do corroborate mean? Do you know what info they had?

The NFL conducted a 10-month investigation, but noted that the absence of criminal charges and cooperation by the alleged victim and law-enforcement officials in finding "insufficient information to corroborate prior allegations.

Josh Brown.

I would say there is not much the league could do now.

They have already punished him, they can't punish him again (like they tried to with Rice).

The Giants can kick his butt to the curb, though, and that could end his career.

If he was suspended for game 1, then his salary for the year isn't guaranteed, correct?

 

[Direwolf63]

I don't see how he can be on an NFL roster. What he did was worse than anything Greg Hardy or Ray Rice did (as bad as those incidents were).

This would be a massive scandal if he were a Cowboys player. But he's a Giant, so all I hear are crickets.

I agree. I don't like Goodell, but there's not much they could do about it.

But, I think it goes to show how hypocritical the league is. Hardy basically sat out all of 2014 and then the league tried to punish him with a 10-game suspension in 2015, but knowing that it would never hold on appeal because of the CBA. With Brown they followed the CBA to the letter of the contract and tried to keep things hush-hush.

With Hardy they couldn't have gone more out of their way to punish him. With Brown, they had an abuser that NFL officials saw in action with their own eyes. At least Hardy's situation was in the privacy of his home and the case was disputed to the point where the DA made a point to expunge the conviction from his record.

Goodell was a PR guy through the league, but he seemingly doesn't understand a golden rule in PR...the coverup is always worse than the crime.

The NFL will sweep it under the rug unless pictures are leaked. Then they'll "care".
