NBC: Report: NFL likely to suspend Joseph Randle over February incident

[popp1234]

every body is on a huge kick to cure the world of all its wrongs and make every thing right

I think they would be better served by looking in the mirror..that's a good start.

Here's the thing. It's out there, I'm sure, but I don't even care to look for it. Mike Fisher has done stories on it.

I just don't care. He's not good enough too even care. He's disposable.

Sounds like we agree on more than we don't.

 

[Nightman]

the league will never lose sponsorship money or ticket sales over stuff like this.

hell, we ourselves love Irvin who was probably as big a bad *** as anyone in the NFL. Fans do not care as long as the players are good.

Rush Limbaugh always said when sponsors left over the latest boycott or controversy he always replaced them and got more money than ever.

I could see that, and I could see the NFL being able to replace sponsors easily

There's a lesson in there and I hope the NFL figures it out before it's too late. There are some businesses that cannot withstand a media firestorm, contrived or not, and they have to toe the party line or get put out of business. The NFL doesn't need to placate these people. However, they do have a problem with money-grubbing politicos in Congress which have already made menacing gestures towards the NFL (concussions),,, but I'm sure a few strategically placed "donations" are already taking care of that.

A suspension would be depressing for Randle. The poor guy just can't catch a break.

CowboysZone members should do something special to brighten his day, like sending him an FTD gift basket filled with Fruit of the Loom drawers and turkey legs. Nothing says I love you man like underwear and a lot of meat on the bone.

 

[Floatyworm]

On a separate note, I'd like to see some criticism come the NFL's way for yet another ridiculous and pathetic handling of a player behavior issue.

The league absolutely sucks at handling these things. There's zero excuse for a February incident being handled in Oct/Nov midway through a season.

Yet Tom Brady gets a pass......once again

They just reported the League was not going to punish Johnny Manziel either for his DV incident a couple weeks ago.

How could they wrap this up so quickly but take since FEB to deal with Randle?

I don't think it was a 'pass', I think it was Brady and the Patriots being smarter than the league boneheads.

 

[Risen Star]

Could we seriously just get this guy off the roster?

 

[Nightman]

No they just ran into a judge that wanted to retry the case and not follow 'normal' appeals guidelines and the CBA.

 

[conner01]

If it doesn't happen on the football field they shouldn't be able to punish for it. Period.

I tend to agree somewhat but what would you do if a guy was charged with murder
You let him play while he's out on bond?
There are cases where the league has to be able to suspend a player for conduct off the field but I do think it should be for only the most serious of crimes or after a conviction
I'm sick of Randle but it's really not fair to punish a player that long after an incident to me

 

[Stash]

I think Brady was guilty as sin, but I don't think the NFL did a good job handling their case.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I think Brady was guilty as sin, but I don't think the NFL did a good job handling their case.

They have a long track record of that.

for all the money the NFL pays their lawyers they get lousy service.

 

[Stash]

And how!

I wonder if they're hiring?

 

[kevm3]

Why should he get suspended?
