Farmer suspended first 4 games of season, fined $250k

[Westside Steve]

I am assuming there are some men out there qualified to be a GM at some level. some extremely qualified who don't feel like a full time job at this point in their career. Could any of these gentlemen be hired as a consultant, get in tune with what Farmer would plan or do during that time and act as a proxy if need be?

Steve,

Farmer already had hired Bill Kuharich, who had been GM at KC & a long time exec, as his right hand man. I'm sure we'll not skip a beat during Farmer's absence.

Fair enough. Any idea on the punishment for the two other rinky dink infractions in Atlanta and New England?

Falcons have been fined $350,000 and will forfeit their fifth-round selection in the 2016 Draft.

NOTHING is being said about the Pats. Fucking bullshit. Richard Sherman was right.

That was a joke. The tweet implies that the Browns will be punished by not having Farmer suspended during the first round.

Oh, misread the tweet.

If the Browns fired every GM after one/two years w/out letting them develop talent and implement their plan, they'd be the Browns.

Pretty fair punishment. All in all the whole situation only cost us a pretty damn good OC.

Maybe I missed the joke, but does anyone else find it funny that this is a tweet from a former Browns board member?

As for the Brownsn; this is good news. As for Atlanta; it could have been worse. As for the Patriots; Nothing will happen until after the draft. For all we know, Tom Brady himself could have let the air out of those footballs and yet it's taking so long I suspect a complete cover up.

[Mudfly]

happy to see the NFL administer a fair penalty.....and that they punished one of the perps, instead of the entire fan base...

Looks like Goodell read my memo.....

[Opal312]

I think it was fair. You're right Mudfly, they didn't penalize the fans.

so what you're saying is that this whole situation is shanahans fault? Classic. I never read any word that Shanahan actually checked his phone during the game maybe he checked it after the game. Like I said the Browns lost a good offensive coordinator other than that water under the bridge cares
