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

Ida paid triple that rate. She was that good looking and humorously engaged in conversation about her hometown with this old fart. I think she brought out my best Spanish for sure.?
You should’ve brought out the French! ?

We know what happened. Media pressure from some commentators and outraged women's groups that the punishment was insufficient, and the socially conscious NFL couldn't fold fast enough. Ban the scumbag for life!!! Don't try and tell me that the NFL doesn't bend over backwards trying to engage women who might be vaguely interested in football. The pink Critical Catch thing is just one example.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Literally the only pocket of people who are outraged that he's going to get a much longer suspension is Browns fans.
Geez, I wonder why?
The Browns deserve every bit of the never-ending shit circus they brought to town ON THEMSELVES. They are not victims, they sold their souls, and they'll deal with the consequences.
Absolutely ridiculous.

The appeal leading to a longer suspension is your assumption, and a questionable one at best.

I agree with you Dutchman. And let's keep it honest: how loudly would we all be laughing if it were the Pittsburgh Steelers that made this exact same deal and were sitting in the same spot we are in right now?

Regarding your BOLD... The fans had absolutely no say in who the owner is, or had any part in the decision to bring Deshaun and his mountain of baggage into Cleveland... So just stop saying the FANS should suffer because Management decided the humongous risk of bad PR was worth the potential reward in the long run. You'd totally have to have your head up your ass if you somehow think had Watson signed with a different team, said team wouldn't have been equally reamed out in every media outlet you care to name.
Nah, Dutch... It is what it is... As a season ticket holder should DW get hit with a season ban, it probably won't affect how I'm viewing this season, I'll hope for the best, and a lot of luck.
Sure, the majority of opinion outside of the Cleveland market says a longer suspension is warranted, but it's hardly a unanimous POV. The NFL fans of either gender outside of Cleveland are just superficially looking at the numbers, 60+, um 24, um now one? Get out the rope and hang the guy. Onkyo pointed out the NFL only found a handful of offended parties (was it 4 or something like that)? when they brought their case to the arbitrator. I said it elsewhere- you can spew any kind of fairy tale crap - within in reason-any political figures come to mind- you listening Alex Jones?- in the media you want to- (the sleazier the better) but say the same stuff under oath with perjury hanging over your head? Different story. The Texas Grand Juries- with Watson not being able to defend himself against the accusations (in two different counties) said there was nothing criminal going on.
Yeah Dutch- Watson is a sleaze, and not very smart either in regards to getting sexual jollies. But it looks like the Court of Public Opinion has already tried him and found him guilty. Legally... Not so much. Stay tuned.

Steelers Ravens Browns Bengals Pats whomever whatever.
The Most alarming or should be at least for every NFL player is how loosely the NFL defines key elements of its conduct policy and caves to public opinion. This was what I took from the NFLs investigation.
That and 4 of the 66 women gathered up in this - he crossed the lines during a massage but apparently not a forceful way as the NFL described and this is very consistent with the grand jury findings and the settlement numbers with the civil suits.
Again I’m trying to wrap my head around and get into the brain space of this year plus suspension crowd.

I assume none of the cases were strong enough just he said she said and I don't doubt some of them are just money grabs, but there's enough of a predatory pattern as was stated in the report. So probably not much need to bog the courts down with all 24 cases. Plus those women decided that even if they were offended or abused that the pay was enough to make it easy to live with. I get that too. Plenty of disturbing language in the report. And... Pittsburgh Steeler equals cheap shot. Cleveland Browns equals good clean hit.

Have any of these hot take radio phone callers, ever claimed to have wives or daughters in the professional massage business? NO !
They hate anything to do with the Browns.. than they call the next radio show, claiming the same ?
My sister in law is a professional masseuse. She thinks this is all a sham. As she relayed to me any true professional would never have had a second appointment if they were so horrified by the first one. If someone asked her about a happy ending or rubbing his groin she’ would ask them to leave and never make another appointment. Every other legit pro would too.

Not to be rude but did she tell you exactly what the up charge would be for the happy ending?

Maybe you're not from Cleveland. Steve chose the Steelers for a reason.

Hmmm. I better ask Nero how the Spanish feel about the French before I give that a try. Ironically I was once stopped in Paris by a couple looking for the location of a hostel I had just seen down another street. I guess because of my Texas suntan and dark brown hair they asked me in Spanish. Funny to be mistaken for a Spaniard in the middle of Paris.? But they were happy I could tell them where it was.?

Well I've been to Europe... One thing I can tell you about the French and Spanish... They are obnoxious loud mouths... I was on a cruise And they were loud and boisterous...
Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~ -
I pretty much agree with Mr. Pluto. I've said the same. The optics are terrible. Right out of the gate, the NFL throws their agreed upon arbitrator under the bus because they don't like her decision.
I'll wait until after the appeal is finalized, but if it turns out Watson is suspended for a year (as the NFL has wanted all along) why bother going through the charade of even having an independent arbitrator?
Yep, the wimp NFL caves in to public pressure, and if they don't meet the NFLPA 1\2 way on increased sanctions, the court battles are going to be long and ugly.
I hope 8 games, a $5 million fine (going to a battered women's group), and counseling would placate the pitchforks crowd, but I doubt it. Nothing short of a lifetime ban will be enough for some of those folks.

Exactly true. If there was a magic truth serum and if I was a betting man I'd say that there were a few gold diggers and a few that were actually treated badly. Also I don't really think every woman deserves financial compensation for being offended but that's kind of the standard these days.
And back to the Garoppolo deal I think that a full season and a chance to play it out would actually be better for the Browns than 12 games with Brissette.

Only problem there Steve IMHO- it's already too late to bring in Jimmy G. We're going to be stuck with career backup in Jacoby however long Watson is suspended for.
I've reached to point I just don't give a s**t anymore... Let's play football with the guys who are available. The Watson Soap Opera will be over eventually.
