Watson Suspended for 11 Games and Fined $5 Million / and a bit OT and back.
-
He has been convicted of nothing, which basically means he did nothing wrong at this point in time.
Ezekiel Elliot and Ben Roethlisberger were both suspended under the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy, without ever being charged with a crime. So this isn’t exactly setting a precedent, just Goodell playing Judge, Jury, and Executioner.

This is more or less my point though. There weren't ongoing legal proceedings in those examples, but there are in this case. Dishing out a lengthy suspension while the cases are being tried can be seen as influencing the outcome thereof, opening the door to a liability suit. As much as Goodell may want to do as you say, I think the league will be cautious in this case.

That's some leeway alright.

True. Roethlisberger's suspension was originally supposed to be for 6 games until Goodell reduced it later to 4 games for (do I dare say) good behavior?
Was Ben really doing all the right things? Or, did the 1 NFL owner (Rooney) that heavily campaigned for Roger Goodell to receive a consensus of approval from the rest of the owners to select him as NFL Commish - need a big favor for the face of his franchise and/or the rest of that season?
If there is a suspension, it'll be interesting to see if Watson is given an opportunity to reduce his suspension as well.

Heard on sports radio that he ...was going to pay off all 22 women a hundred thousand each. If they all had accepted, he would have been a Miami Dolphin -that was apparently the Miami requirement, from the discussion I heard.
But, 4 of the women said NO. So, here we are. dammit.

and I like your way of processing this ..And the main media heads won't touch this detonator either.. ?
My only optical conduct concerns start with..
Watson outsourced nearly 40 masseuses...can/will the league see this as a conduct to the game to suspensions/fined game checks? (oddly, I've been in Korsou's boat a while now..but, me thinks he only gets 2 games in 2022,back for Pitt game 3..
Your right..Pending Court claims should not be considered until 2023 games which than, could lead to more suspended games/fines..

My biggest concern is BLM using an unfavorable scenario for Watson and using it as a platform to cause more violence and turbulence in an already potentially volatile situation.. so all parties concerned will have to consider that...

It's legal if his dong ends up in the masseuse's hand through the normal course of a massage.
Remember: a full body massage includes your wang and plums.

While this may become true in time, I am getting sick & tired of Mike Florio's witch hunt on Watson.
Everyday he posts his views on this, and clearly he wants Watson & the Browns to suffer. Unprofessional journalism.

At this point, I want the Browns to re-sign OBJ.
Let's go full dumpster fire!

I don't care if Watson got happy endings. If he was a sexual creep predator about it...whatever. We have laws that try and establish what you can and can't do. Again...if the laides were wronged, and win in court, good for them. if not...whatever.
If you are the Haslems and the Browns organization...for F**CKS SAKE!....just own it! Come out say you don't care that Watson is into happy ending massages. Have Dee Haslem come out and say that it's an understood if somewhat unbecoming norm in society that dudes visit people and places that perform this service. If you claim to have the utmost confidence in Watson and the choice to trade for him...and sign him to a giant contract...OWN IT! Nothing wrong with being honest about what we, as a people, do. There are lots of places that sell this service and lots of dudes who purchase it...including Robert Kraft. BIG DEAL!!!! It wouldn't be as big a deal if the Browns and Haslems would just admit that they don't mind or care that Watson likes his wiener rubbed....
I'ts a bad look that you can't have a press conference or let anyone talk to the media, while also saying you did your due dilligence and fully support Watson....
The worst part is by saying you did your due dilligence, and then more charges come out.....you look like you didn't do your due dilligence, and by not talking or allowing any media access...you look like your support is just a veneer.

Mike Florio is a lawyer I don't think that he said anything out of line.
Celebrities have their lives and careers ruined by lesser innuendo and for things that I don't necessarily think should be criminal all the time.
PS as of this morning there are 24.

Well we know for sure that one of the seven dwarfs is supporting Watson all the way, Happy.
But sadly one is also a Browns fan here who does not support Watson, Dopey.

I'm guessing they didn't think it out too well at the outset knowing that Watson didn't want to come here anyway and that Landing him would be a long shot. When it came to pass it was too late for plan a whatever that might have been.

Well I don't agree with you. So there I guess. The sportswriters did absolutely nothing but report exactly what happened no one would read it. And his opinion as a lawyer is extremely valid to what's going on with Watson. I don't care what your opinion might be of what he did or didn't do can you imagine going through 24 separate trials? And think about it all he has to lose is 1.
