Watson Suspended for 11 Games and Fined $5 Million / and a bit OT and back.

I just edited that remark that I made I don't know if it makes any difference. But what precedent are we talkin about?
WSS
Kraft wasn't punished at all, so I think that's huge. The NFL made a bed that is getting very uncomfortable- if they punish DW then it's going to be appealed based on the lack of punishment for Kraft.

Punished for what? He was found not guilty and not one woman complained.

He wasn't found not guilty, the case was dropped due to cameras being installed illegally in the massage rooms.
He "violated the NFL shield" like DW, right?

Let's see how this part comes out sometime before the Browns open training camp. Then the next steps on possible suspensions, appeals, whatever.
....Once she hears both sides, Robinson can decide that Watson did not violate the league’s personal conduct policy, which would end the NFL’s involvement in the situation. If she decides that some form of disciplinary action should take place, either the NFLPA or attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing the women accusing Watson in the civil lawsuits, can appeal the decision to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who can either make a ruling rule on the appeal or bring in an independent party to make the final decision.
Robinson has never issued a ruling on a case involving an NFL player. While there is no set timetable for her to make a decision, the expectation is that it will come sometime before the Browns open training camp at the end of July, according to Schefter.....
.... If she decides that some form of disciplinary action should take place, either the NFLPA* or attorney Tony Buzbee*, who is representing the women accusing Watson in the civil lawsuits, can appeal the decision to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who can either make a ruling rule on the appeal or bring in an independent party to make the final decision.
for the record..
this writers in Bold statement, has been found as not correct.. only the NFL has the same rights as the NFLPA on getting a appeal process per it's NFL's conduct policy /not Buzz
Some interest over-(stepping) media updates, since date as been set...(this only means they might not be true*)
1.) The Wall Street Journal reported the NFL’s case will focus on five women who’ve sued Watson, with their cases corroborated by text messages and other evidence.
League officials believe those allegations in particular are objectively provable and establish a clear and disturbing pattern of behavior from Watson,” according to the Wall Street Journal story.
2.) and Of course.. Florio wants real blood findings.. ?
a.) If Robinson orders the NFL to surrender all evidence regarding the Commanders investigation and the punishment of owner Daniel Snyder to the NFLPA, that could put pressure on the league.
b.) Patriots owner Robert Kraft in connection with his solicitation charge (it was dropped), that could put pressure on the league.
c.) Cowboys voyeurism scandal, that could put pressure on the league.
Put simply, the league could cut a deal with Watson to avoid *possibly* having to disclose information that it would rather keep concealed as to Snyder, Kraft, and Jones.
stay tuned... all they have left is today's Monday...
edit--Monday
Tony Buzbee files first of ‘many’ cases against Houston Texans for enabling Deshaun Watson’s alleged misconduct
edit...Tuesday morning hearing date .. Official..
The NFL has informed Deshaun Watson and his camp, the NFL Players Association and Disciplinary Officer Sue L. Robinson that it recommends an indefinite suspension for Watson without pay for at least a year

Nothing new here
Wasn't Robinson the chick that sang Turn the Beat around?

As was Watson right? Kraft has a lot money that could have had something to do with the no complaints just like the 20 women that got paid to become church mice silent all of a sudden.
From what I've seen and read, of the 4 remaining 1 feels very strongly he needs to be punished. Another got mad at Watson after he said "he did nothing wrong" on the HBO story by Gumbel. 2 others weren't willing to sell out.
Sounds like 3 people had a really bad experience with Watson; and another was insulted that he thinks of them as prostitutes - while he is rich and powerful enough to do as he please knowing he said vrs she said won't convict anyone in front of a jury or 2...

Actually to your first statement no Tommy. Kraft went to a whorehouse Watson solicited assumedgly innocent massage therapist and accosted them upon their arrival. 24 or 25 claimed they had been wronged. Whether I buy that or not isn't the point. I don't like Watson but I hate Jimmy Haslam I think this entire mess is his own fault.
But I'm not willing to let Watson off the hook because of Bob Kraft. ( Even if the Patriots are too damn successful and even if Belichick cut Bernie.) If these guys want to punish him or Snyder or Jones ...
But until I go see the new Woody Allen movie starring Kevin Spacey and co-written with Louis c.k. Watson can kiss my ass.

Judges look at rules and precedent. One would hope that Florio’s outrage isn’t factored into the equation
From the Personal Conduct Policy (this is what appears to be a sentencing guideline by the way):“Ownership and club or league management have traditionally been held to a higher standard and will be subject to more significant discipline when violations of the Personal Conduct Policy occur.'"
So this decision SHOULD have an impact moving forward when Jerry, Jimmy, Robert or anyone else fall out of line. So no BS later when they are in front of the judge.
And if Watson is gone for a year or more what does that say about fines or penalties moving forward? If Watson and the Browns are going to be the example apply it Every freaking time moving forward and hit the owners and management harder or redraft and approve new policies…. it is as simple as that.

You use very resentful words when you describe him, which is your prerogative. Honest question though: why?
He used the services of seemingly cheap and sleazy masseuses. Is that enough to be so resentful? Do you know any of them personally? Is it getting tugs and paying for them? It seems likely tugs were offered to him, which I believe makes it a crime committed by the masseuse under Texas law. If there was any evidence he solicited them, the criminal cases against him wouldn't have been thrown out. Historically, juries in the south are quite gung ho about convicting black men, so there must really be no shred of evidence.
None of the actual facts known offend me, nor do they prevent my from wanting him on the team. If anything, I am seeing him more and more as a victim of a questionable legal system, and media witch hunt. My major gripe with him at this point is that he wasn't smart enough to do things 'right.' He should have gotten his massages from actual sports massage professionals. I am sure he would have been able to find one both qualified and attractive, if these were both requirements. And for tugs or equivalent I am sure Texas or neighboring states have their Heidi Fleiss who could offer those services discretely, and by women highly unlikely to get second thoughts about providing them.Yeah and a innocent person doesn't make his victims sign NDA's unless hes got something serious to hide then suddenly has to pay them off (20 women) An innocent person supposedly: Shouldnt have to pay anyone off!...... Puhleeze..

So you are ready to call a person despicable and spew hatred based on assumptions and zero facts. Okay then. Must be lonely up there on your 'moral high ground.'
Every major company I have ever worked for made me sign an NDA, or had it incorporated in the employment contract. Does that mean they had ungodly intentions with me? Of course not. It is a standard practice for a wealthy organization or individual to protect themselves. Welcome to the real world, my fellow Brownie. -

The main difference with Kraft and DW is that in Kraft's case there was actual evidence (he was caught on tape). In DW's there are only accusations.
If the policy says that ownership and management are to be held to a higher standard, the precedent is clear and DW doesn't get a single game. -

And most likely going to continue to prey on women... I hope he banished from the NFL and the contract is nullified. The Texans should be charged with EXTORTION and Cleveland returned our picks. Then Andrew Berry and Jimmy Haslam need to go and give Baker a massage. Dumbasses.

Jimmy, Dee... Cuck.
You Bastards make me sick.
1 and fucking 31!!!
A fucking toilet bowl parade for going 0-16.
Baker made us relevant again, actually gave me a reason to believe, however fleeting, for this accursed organization.
With Mayfield actually healthy and with the team around him this year, we could have won the whole dame thing.
Ungrateful. Unloyal. Short-Sighted. Willfully Ignorant.
You are not supposed to lose your spot because of an injury. Baker is the best thing that has ever happened since I became a brown's fan... last century.
If Baker goes, I go too. Have fun with Bonerhead. Andrew Berry Cucked, I'm so disappointed. For all the years of building draft capital and being very savvy with the salary cap, this deal with Watson just made it all a wash.
You thought we were laughingstocks before... oh, just wait, Jimmy Haslam just asked Berry to hold his beer...

Please, this dude has a very serious problem. He had a girlfriend at the time too. The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one. Watson can't even find the stairs, dude's took an elevator his whole life. He's not even a better QB than Mayfield... maybe a better athlete, not a better QB, never, not in a million years could Watson's Football Intellect match wits with Baker Mayfields. I think that a lot of you forget that Tom Brady couldn't outrun Joel Bitonio.

no, the main difference is that kraft went to a prostitute -
watson offended a lot of women, most? who were NOT prostitutes, although you have to wonder about the ones he flew in to his fancy place who were NOT licensed to be massotherapists.

I’m not following this…and I’ve heard this a few times now but because he went to a prostitute things are better or okay? Is this okay with the NFLs morality clause?

And let’s get something straight Baker is the reason we are here. he couldn’t take an excellent roster to the next level and we are ready for the next level. Which is okay but in the meantime he could have acted like a mature professional and we would have accepted more of his inefficiencies at this level like reading a defense.
Josh Allen would have done it. We’d have no need this seasonAnd Darnold or Rosen we’d be picking Burrow or Herbert after we realized the mistake and went 2-14 in 2019.
