Maybe you want to professional lip reader to take a look at that.

Indefinite suspension upheld, and Pouncey gets a game reduced.
They'll lose, but I'll be shocked if the NFLPA doesn't take this to court.

It may be "true" or "not true". Pretty definitive title under those circumstances.

Lost all respect for Garrett...talk about low hanging fruit. He has never been called the n word or worse in his entire career.
Garret has Liabetes.
The CBA doesnt allow indefinite suspensions...so wtf??
-
I always assumed something like that was said.
Kitchens was asked in the post game and he said he wouldn’t repeat what he was told. Kinda thought this was a given. Hell, even the old lady at my work said that’s what happened the day after, also noticed how Rudolph had a shit eating grin on his face in the last huddle right after the whole thing happened.
Freaking 60 year old woman casual fan notices this stuff but the NFL can’t figure it out.
-
Pouncey got reduced, Rudolph didn't even get suspended, and Ogunjobi and Garrett's penalties are unchanged?
Sounds about right.

Dude went to A&M.... I'd bet you my money, car, savings, checking, etc etc that its been dropped on him AT LEAST once.

So, the league enforcer hands down a suspension which under the CBA is not permitted. The arbirtrator, on appeal, upholds an impermissible suspension. They also uphold the wholly non egregious suspension on Ogunjobi. .. a mere push in the back, which at most should maybe have been a personal foul.......and reduce the the suspension for the act that actually probably caused the most physical damage....the stomp on the head by the Steeler player.
So, two possible things come out of this:
A. By violating the CBA with an impermissible suspension, they clearly, even the arbitrator had ONLY the optics....the PR considerations in view...and not the facts or the "law" (i.e. the terms and agreements of the CBA). And by doing that, they have probably bought themselves a lawsuit. Which, clearly, apparently they could care less about, as they obviously have money to burn
B. And with that, I think they have also painted themselves into a corner in the next CBA negotiations. The NFLPA should never agree to allow something like this to happen again.....where the arbitrator apparently is wholly taking his cues and directives from the league office. I see a fight on their hands over the disciplinary procedures that will be instituted under that next CBA. See my thread on the new CBA for my ideas on that.
C. IF they thought that by sticking to their guns on the suspension was going to give them a public relations push.....they may have just undone all that by totally ignoring the fact that allegedly...and apparently, Rudolph was spewing racial epithets. If that is believed to be true....the league may have a lot of explaining to do about just brushing that fact....the provocation off. That...PLUS, if they continue to blackball Kaepernick (not sure if that has changed) the league will a big problem when dealing with their minority players.\
D. It also brings up the whole: "the league shows favoritism toward certain teams". The Steelers have always been one of those teams. The legacy of the Rooney family has always seemed to make the league favor them. By ignoring the provocation...the physical actions of one of the squib players; by ignoring the provocation of the alleged racial slurs; by their ruling that only the Steeler player gets a reduction in the suspension...that specter of favoritism raises its head, Big Time. Now, Jimmah the worm will not likely even express a little cat's mew in objection to this. He seems to be not only gutless in areas like this, and deferential...he is also completely disrepected and ignored among league ownership circles. I put an article up here somewhere on that as well.
So....what do the Browns do? The one big thing they can...and should do.....Kick the everloving shit out of the Steelers on the field. They are a better team with better players....they SHOULD do that. But then, will the league allow that? Do NOT be surprised if the worst, most fucked up, most bizarre penalties and rulings are made against the Browns in that game. Our owner gets no respect, our HC gets no respect....I think the league may feel that because the Browns have been so crappy for so long that it does not matter to their image if they discriminate against the Browns on many levels. But, our guys have to show up strong even in the face of having to play against the Steelers, the refs, AND against the league office.

Well, they will just have to suck it up, buttercup. If this suspension is impermissible...they HAVE to challenge it. Or go away.
You can say that again....?

IDK, ya'll. I truly tend to keep myself objective as possible. You're not going to find me waving a round a #freemyles flag any time soon, and I still think the man deserved a hefty suspension.
I just can't shake the way Rudolph (and his lawyers) have responded to these things the last couple days. I mean, maybe Rudolph is just the typical "my dad's a lawyer" douche who is too much of a coward to speak his mind once he realized he wasn't seen as a golden boy. But with how 'lawyer-esque' his pre-written, no questions statement was yesterday and now hiding behind a lawyer? It's just really odd to me. I'm not going to say I believe one side or the other. But how Rudolph has responded once the dust settles is just suspicious to me.

Indefinite suspension upheld? So that’s it? Myles either has to sue the NFL or go to Canada to play football?

Sure. Everyone loves a bet they'll never know the results of and based entirely off someone's biased instincts. I say your full of it, when can I pick up the keys?

#1) fuck Espn (so no i did not read it)
#2) who that works for that affiliate has anything positive to say about the Browns?
#3) clearly this writer is leaking a racial story that only belonged staying in that suspension hearing walls.. (who leaked it?)
#4) Soon after this story was released, the League had to respond with judgement (this kinda news don't hit till Friday's.the writer even prints it as announced Friday*)
#5) So They did, by doing what they want by ignoring any of there printed wordings containing amount of games or Players Union
#6) Then they put Myles on Rogers Exempt List without saying it
Conspiracy Theory? that's mine... Cause were only* The Browns!!
Myles won't hear from the Evil Empire till Evil Roger says so.. read ya than..

It's more of an expression for those of us that don't take something so literally.
But you can pick up the keys and take it to Homecoming the minute you pass 5th grade English. Just make sure to bring it back with a full tank.
