Watson Suspended for 11 Games and Fined $5 Million / and a bit OT and back.
-
According to this article, there are three possibilities
- The league could make its decision when its investigation is concluded
- Wait until there’s resolution in the lawsuits
- Levy a punishment with the caveat it could add further discipline if new information surfaces.
As much as I believe they would love to suspend, option 1 is a big can of worms liability wise. The criminal charges were thrown out by two separate grand juries, and those charges can never be brought again. That means DW is not just innocent, his innocence is bulletproof (it astonishes me that the US legal system then allows him to be sued for the very same charges in a different branch of the legal system. Seems like extortion to me, but I suppose that is a discussion for a different forum).
The point is: if they suspend him now, they are effectively suspending an innocent man, and risk influencing the ongoing legal proceedings. If Kaepernick had enough on the league to reach a settlement for preventing him to work, DW has a Howitzer pointed at them as it stands. The only way I see this happening is the suspension is so low (4 games or so) and the Leagues forgoes option 3, which would juicy enough for DW's representation and the Browns to accept it. Seems more likely the league waits to see the outcome of the lawsuits, and either dish out a lengthy suspension or none at all, depending on said outcome.And welcome. Been to Curacao once for the Total Eclipse back in the 90s. took quite a liking to the Senior Curacao while I was down there. The authentic beverage has been hard to find of late up here in the States. Of course i get called a juicer here on the Board because I happen to like stuff like that.
One of our Tailgate traditions has been to do a shot of Orange Curacao before heading to the stadium for a game. Zombo affectionately calls it "The Orange Shit".

Nice to see one of very few Curaçao exports make it all the way to Ohio!
They seem to have a US distributor, but they are all they way in Cali
https://www.curacaoliqueur.com/where-to-buyI am quite particular about my alcoholic beverages: pilsner beer, strong red wine and a few classic cocktails like whiskey sour. May have to make an exception for some orange shit if I ever make it to a tailgate #lifegoals

They played the Super Bowl in an outdoor stadium in New Jersey. February 2, 2014
Although the temp was in the 40’s

Yes, because it was New York. Cleveland, Cincinnati, et all are not NY. And they were lucky with the weather. It could've been just about anything for weather in January. Of course, back when they were called Championship Games they were played at the home team's stadium (team with best record). But as was mentioned, those
super bowlschampionships were played in late December, not in today's February. -
Actually the earliest ever SB was January 9 in Pasadena, Rose Bowl..... nice cold weather site.
Now they are all in February and it's not just the game it's the overall logistics of SB Week, travel, hotels, and everything else.
Even a SB in a northern dome is a big gamble if there's a midwinter blizzard. Oh well probably will not be in.....

GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
I just got heartburn from looking at this.
Also, is that Chesty Puller as your pic?

Yes it is.

Crap! Nice weather. Super Bowl team.
Cleveland always has that 1st strike against them (weather) before getting to the bargaining table. A dome is required.
Breaking news.. Clowney just resigned with the Browns..https://www.nfl.com/news/browns-re-signing-jadeveon-clowney-to-one-year-11-million-deal
Oh and you'll never host a super bowl, ever.
LOL!!! Neither will at lest 10 other NFL teams... Bears... Patriots... KC... Steelers
Besides the weather, Ketchup Field is totally inadequate to host the Super Bowl... Throw in the Bengals and Ravens too... However... Cinci is in line to host (from a much larger world-wide perspective) one of the World Cup Soccer matches at Paul Brown.

I've posted this before, but in case you've missed it.... http://www.bumwine.com/md2020.html I still get quite a hoot every time I re read it.
As majestic as the cascading waters of a drain pipe, MD 20/20 is bottled by the 20/20 wine company in Westfield, New York. This is a good place to start for the street wine rookie, but beware; this dog has a bite to back up its bark. MD Stands for Mogen David, and is affectionately called "Mad Dog 20/20". You'll find this beverage as often in a bum's nest as in the rock quarry where the high school kids sneak off to drink. This beverage is likely the most consumed by non-bums, but that doesn't stop any bums from drinking it! Our research indicates that MD 20/20 is the best of the bum wines at making you feel warm inside. Some test subjects report a slight numbing agent in MD 20/20, similar to the banana paste that the dentist puts in your mouth before injecting it with novocain. Anyone that can afford a dentist should steer clear of this disaster. Available in various nauseating tropical flavors that coat your whole system like bathtub scum, but only the full "Red Grape Wine" flavor packs the 18% whallop.
Liquor stores are starting to be infiltrated by a 13% variety of MD 20/20 Red Grape. There is also a new "Blue Raspberry" flavor with "BLING BLING". Even the lowest functioning of bums will know not to get swindled out of 5%.

Exactly. Even if the game is out of bad weather, everything else might no be. One also have to consider that the SB isn't as much for the fans as it is the major sponsors. More than half the tickets are given to companies like Coca Cola and whoever to use as they please.
Face it, I love going to Cleveland. I live in Tennesse a stones throw away from the Ga border. I use my season tickets, but if and when I go to a Superbowl, for what it is going to cost, I don't want a Cleveland or Chicago in Feb. Nor do many others. Give me New Orleans or Tampa or Socal.

The saga goes on.....and on.....and on.
With several accusers set for national interview, Deshaun Watson could meet with NFL investigators again
Charles Robinson·NFL columnistFri, May 20, 2022, 8:06 PM·3 min readHOUSTON — After three days of questioning as part of what attorney Rusty Hardin called a “very detailed and aggressive investigation,” Deshaun Watson’s meetings with the NFL may not be over.
Hardin told Yahoo Sports that the Cleveland Browns quarterback may have to sit for another day of questions soon as the league’s investigation nears a conclusion. Watson’s meetings with NFL representatives began in Houston on Monday and went through Wednesday, delving into the 22 civil lawsuits pending against him in which women allege a range of sexual misconduct or sexual assault.
The interview unfolded on the precipice of several of Watson’s accusers preparing to go public in a joint interview with "HBO’s Real Sports," which is set to air next week. Several women with pending civil lawsuits have also met with the NFL. A league source told Yahoo Sports on Friday that investigators may seek additional interviews with those plaintiffs before making a decision on their findings.
Hardin declined to share details or characterize how the meetings with the NFL concluded, but said Watson was focused on cooperating with investigators and proving that he’s innocent of the allegations made in the lawsuits and did nothing to violate the league’s personal conduct policy during his interactions with his 22 accusers.
“Deshaun has and will continue to fully cooperate with the NFL in what is clearly a very detailed and aggressive investigation,” Hardin said. “He has voluntarily answered every single question over a long and tedious three days, and there may be another day as well in the near future. The investigators were very prepared, have obviously done a great deal of research and work on the case and Deshaun has been incredibly forthcoming and honest with them.
“The NFL investigation continues and the time frame .........CONTINUED ON YAHOO SPORTS, MAY 23, 2020 A.D.

Besides the major sponsors 'Peen.. Add in the respective team's corporate sponsors. Also the celebs who can afford the secondary market going price for the week long "Experience". Regular fans have been priced out. My hat's off to you for being correct about us season ticket holders not having a chance at face value Super Bowl Tickets.
If you missed it... The owner of our local wine store has been a Bengals season ticket holder from Day One. 50 yard line, row 2 behind the Bengals bench. Get asked if he would be interested in Super Bowl tickets? Um, nope.
