K Josh Brown suspended for Cowboys game

[Vero_F250]

NFL suspended Giants K Josh Brown one game for violating the league's personal-conduct policy.

We have no idea what Brown did to earn this ban, as his name hasn't been in the news in years. Tom Obarski is the other kicker on the Giants' roster, and he could handle kicking duties Week 1 before Brown returns for Week 2.

Sucks for them.

Usually our games with them are close.

This could be huge, even though we have the worst kicker luck ever. I don't have any stats to support it -- but kickers FG% against us HAS to be among the highest in the NFL.

He's like thank god I don't have to kick to Lucky now

 

[JDSmith]

It's odd how he got a 1 game suspension and nobody has any idea what he did. I didn't even know they gave out 1 game suspensions.

The scrub they sign off his couch will go 5-5 with 3 bombs from 50+ yds.

Lol seems that way doesn't it. It could be the nfcc and they'd kick a 70 yarder and it would somehow go in for the win. Lol

The minor benefit (beyond the downgrade in kicker) is that it forces the NYG to carry 2 kickers on their 53 man roster into the first week. I'd hate to have to waste a precious roster spot that way.

Are you kidding? A NYG??? He'll appeal and get a 500K bonus.

Woo-hoo! We lose Lawrence and Gregory, they lose Brown. That seems fair.

I've never seen a 1 game suspension, I've seen 4 games reduced to 2. kind of strange only a 1 game suspension.

The suspended guy doesn't count that first week he's out.

He has already appealed and has exhausted all means to get it over turned. He accepted the punishment today, which is why we are finally hearing about it.

You must not know about the Mara clause in the CBA...

He must not either since his kicker is suspended.

other teams could pull a peanut vendor out of the stands in the last minute and he would nail a 60 yarder to beat us

I think we have them trumped in amount of players suspended for that game though.

just read why he was suspended. Apparently it was for domestic violence from last year. I guess he grabbed a hold of a girl by the wrist and she called 911 and he was arrested. Must be more to it than that.

I have to laugh, every nfl writer last year and this spring used the cowboys as a punchline and now basically every team has a player suspended for Substance abuse, DV or PED's. The falcons had to kick a guy off the team because he raped two women and I didn't even see ESPN mention it.

So this means that last year while the NY media were all high and mighty they had preston parker using cocaine? and Josh Brown was arrested for domestic violence and they didn't release that info. Interesting how that works, throw in the fact that they had to release moore because he was a locker room cancer and it seems pretty odd espn and others haven't pointed all this out....just kidding no it doesn't.

Its true, this suspension is used as a way to setup the Zeke suspension for 10 games that the League is about to announce. Mara told Goodell to suspend their kicker for fussing at his wife at one of their kids' soccer games to show impartiality and set the tone for Zeke. The Zeke suspension will be announced tomorrow. Goodell is a Mara yes-man. You heard it here first.
