well there is no way he plays sunday or even the week after that, is signed this week as mary says

I'd imagine once he's signed, then Goodell drops some sort of suspension. 

It seems "out of order," but that's Goodell. It would be way easier to negotiate a deal knowing how many games he has to miss.

Yeah, no hurry or anything...  Once done - the Browns will hurry him up with the conditioning & playbook stuff.  That kind of thing doesn't ever lead to a pulled hammy, groin or quad does it?  Looks like others beat me to the other issue of the Commish that will inevitably drag his feet regarding the suspension.

FWIW, Mary Kay Cabot thinks that Judkins might be signed this week by the Browns. 

That would be nice.

He played last week.  5 carries 25 yards  1 catch 4 yards (1 target)

5 carries for 25 isn't poor.. A 1st team back averages what?.. About 15-20 carries per game?... that sounds like 80-120 yrds a game + or - a few?

I think I would take that...

Didn't see that one coming.

It's with an injury designation.

@berniesuperbowl2 said:

Pierre Strong was released, so a Judkins signing very soon? Also sounds like the NFL may be ruling on the Judkins suspension as early as today. We shall see.

Didn't see that one coming.

European?

Oui oui!!!

End Bigotry would be a more on point term. That we might have a chance to end.  We will never end racism.

OK, Judkins has wriggled out of his legal issue.  So where does this saga go from here?  Who's currently sitting on their hands?  Is it that we won't sign him to a contract until Roger GoToHell puts him in time out in the corner?

Good question. I know a couple factors likely involved is that the players drafted before and after Judkins got guaranteed contracts, and that’s a dodgy thing to hand out to a player who may or may not be suspended. 

Not that the Browns are strangers to such a scenario…

Sure your eyes work.  Then your brain processes that the person is different.

Much like if I saw a person that was tethered to an oxygen cylinder.

I doubt anybody has read that goalpost message and changed anything.

 That I can't argue with.

What bends me outta shape is you being bent outta shape that l used the term bent outta shape to describe being bent outta shape. 

So you’re going with that view of “racism?” That utopian dream where we can acknowledge each others’ differences and everything is cool? Well duh. That’s the goal.

I figure it’ll be obvious once we get there. Until then we gotta deal with “End Racism” on goalposts, or send strongly worded letters to the NFL nitpicking them over semantics.

LOL...still bent out of shape?  LOL...sounds like an Abbott and Costello skit.

I deal with it.  I look, think it is a stupid message when going to the opener and don't give it much thought the rest of the season.

I doubt anybody has read that goalpost message and changed anything.

It doesn't mean that.  It means my eyes still work.  

It's a football game.  Let's keep it simple.  Something the whole audience will understand.  ( if we have to profess a message )  End Racism is probably a better slogan than, Stop Beating Your Girlfriends.  ( would one be a bigot if one supported removing the right to vote from women? )

Sure your eyes work.  Then your brain processes that the person is different.

It's a football game.  Let's keep it simple.  Don't have anything, or go with bigotry. Condemn every form, be it called racism, sexism, homophobia, whatever else. 

@ballpeen said:

It doesn't bend me out of shape.  What bends you out of shape to assume I am a bent out of shape weirdo?

It doesn't carry much meaning and it isn't even used in proper context. I don't think racism is a bad thing by itself. It's a normal human condition.  I will assume you are white, just going with the percentages, if you walk in to a room and notice a person is black, you are a racist.  No big deal. 

Bigotry is the problem. Only if you use the fact a person is white, black, brown, yellow or red as the reason to discriminate against them, then that is a problem.

Interesting. What bends you outta shape about it? To me it’s kinda like the cancer slogan “Hope for a Cure.” It’s just one of those things we’ll see everywhere until it’s eradicated.

I don’t get why there would be opposition to it. I suppose there are weirdos out there that think cancer is a gift from God or something, but l think the majority of the population is hip to eradicating both things.

I think the majority of the population thinks we already did

I get the personal overkill aspect. Totally understandable. But you’re healthcare hero and it’s good to know you got support yeah?

How we were lionized during the pandemic actually makes me want to vomit.

Yes, and Cancer is a scientific matter and it is more of a bipartisan matter  we all want to eradicate it and support the effort to eradicate it.  
 

the difference with “end racism”.  Me please!!!  I’d love for that to happen but I don’t think DEI programs (the biggest recent movement) move the needle in that direction and actually promote further political polarization.  I’ve seen it create resentment (not just with the typical white middle class male) and especially in the workplace and especially in certain places of the country where there is more diversity like CA.  Bottom line there is a lot of conflict with how we end racism.  

let’s just start by being kind and not saying ignorant things to people
