NFL suspends former K Josh Brown 6 games

[adbutcher]

I heard this tactic on a story about certain leaders and dicatators. Their brazen lies are part of bullying tactic to try to render any who oppose insignificant. They're fully aware almost everyone knows they're lying and it's a major part of their strategy.

We have examples of this behavior all around us. History suggests that It takes courage to stand up to this crap before you lose the ability to stand up to it.

I think this finally explains what the mitigating circumstances were. As long as he was a NY Giant it was 1 game. Now that he isn't a Giant anymore, they feel okay giving him the full 6 games.

Sadly these are the undeniable optics of the situation.

I'm a bit surprised that the NFL can legally do this. I hate to say it because Brown is a monster, but from a legal standpoint I have to question this.

Yep, just heard he doesn't even have to be on a roster to start serving the suspension, lmao...what a joke!

Which equates to absolutely Zero. Take the kids to school, eat cereal, play golf... etc.. Brilliant... The NFL just flexed it's power and dropped a serious hammer here.

Wagging the dog...

Did I miss something? Was there a rumor that the Cowboys were thinking of signing Josh Brown to contract and the NFL wanted to put the kibosh on it?

They are letting him serve it when he is not on a roster so that he won't challenge it in court.

Why do I have a feeling they only did this to justify Zeke's suspension?

I’m assuming you’re equipped with standard cognitive abilities

Give me a ******* break.

Josh Brown after he thought he got off easy and heard the news of his six game suspension.

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Well they might as well suspend me for 6 games. It has the same effect. lol

 

[Doomsay]

But I thought they wouldn't suspend Brown because Mara is Goodell's buddy, and they're conspiring against the Cowboys?

They waited until his suspension couldn't hurt the Giants, but might adversely influence the trial of a key member of their most important divisional rival. Looks like the work of good buddies to me.

And they are so arrogant they don't care what it looks like.

 

[Zekeats]

That's the worst thing about all of this. I never thought I'd consider not watching the games.

It's all politics outside the 60 minutes of game time.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Wow.... how much does this weaken Zekes case?

weaken? I'd say it strengthens his case. The NFL recognized their wrongdoing and only tried to correct it after realizing it would be a factor in Zeke's case.

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

Obvious CYA move by that clown Goodell

Can't make this up. On the day Zeke is expected to get his TRO

Trying to make it look like they're not singling Zeke out.

Darn, posted this before I read the whole thread.

Do they really think the judge is going look at this favorably?

The only real reason the NFL did this was for PR. Listen, not many people followed that story. The NFL kept that pretty quiet IMO. This was going to come out during the course of the fight, so the NFL decided to get ahead of it and show "fairness". I hope the commentators and reporters report the fact that this was done way after the fact during Zeke's legal fight. It's total BS, and the NFL has egg on their face yet again.

You couldn't make this up if you tried.
