btownqb Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 So, he will get to play 6 games this season... then the playoffs, obviously, if they make it. He will get to play against all 3 division opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Josh Dobbs doesn't beat him out, but yeah lol I think you and I would have fun at a Browns tailgate. Heard they'll make you lobster and steak if you want.... the theme is "you might as well go all out for the tailgate because we know the Browns are going to lose" hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that really doesn't bother me, it's the faking like they care about anything else that bothers me. Stop fronting. Ray Rice TOLD THEM HE KNOCKED HIS WIFE OUT!!!! Ray TOLD THEM THAT!!... then they suspend him, then video surfaces and they renege on the original suspension. Still cannot get over that one. Then you have the Kaep stuff, and just the circus he was allowed to create. It's just... ugh. Like which is it NFL? Personally, the 11 games and 5 million dollars seems sufficient to me. I wouldn't do more to my employees than the law does. I'm strictly speaking business here, not ethics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue what's right or wrong anymore in the punishment department but this doesn't seem right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a league that gets so much $, Advertising, interest, exposure because of gambling and fantasy....it just seems steep to me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys who are making the minimum....guarantee a good chunk are putting some $ somewhere somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fair but his gambling potentially impacts the results and the product. This is exactly what I came to point out. From all the suspensions and fines that are handed down, I feel the various punishments break down into one of two categories: A) Those that affect the perception of "fairness" on the field or B) Anything else Strictly from a business standpoint, any infraction that challenges, hurts or brings category A into question is the worst possible, as it threatens the idea of impartial, objective and "fair" competition. The NFL can't allow cheating of any way. B categories, however vile, dangerous, scandalous, etc. are handled differently because the offending player/coach/exec/etc. can be made a martyr and punished separate from the League itself. Rice, Vick, Hunt, Carruth, Lewis, etc. all were doing ethically awful things, but they weren't hurting the core element of NFL fairness. It's easy for the NFL to deliver punishment to bad apples, so long as they aren't poisoning the tree. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
