Six games is in line with what they've done in the past. That's one of the reasons the judge gave him that amount. If the NFL wanted to be hard on him, it should have done that in the past.
100% agreed.
As @tarheel0910 notes, NFL has prior sanctions for others as an impediment here. They are playing the PR game asking for a full season minimum. I would not be at all surprised if they end up with a settlement. One thing I don't think the league wants is to have this drawn out and repeatedly discussed during the season.
Since Monday, it's been the prime story for them when it should be a focus on training camps and the start of exhibition games. If they come to a settlement, let's say twelve games as a compromise between the six and full season, it would be talked about when announced, when he comes back, and at random points during Browns games (who watches them outside of Cleveland?). If the appeal and lack of resolution continues, it will still be talked about during Browns games and every other time something happens in the process, something gets leaked, or another player has some issue. The NFL has every reason to get this done and change the focus back to games.
You are right from a 30,000 feet viewpoint and a moral one, assuming there is fire behind the smoke. Much of this was she said, he said stuff and despite what I believe, that's not the legal system's standard. While achieving "proper justice" is the goal, one of it's bedrock principles is that injustice not be done. It always creates quite the quandary. But this isn't about the legal system because he went completely unscathed through that process.
Yeah, I posted some YT videos that you have to watch on YT, above from his performance against the Panthers.
this dude is good…i feel like these football geeks are the mike mcdaniel types, all they do is watch film…have you seen mcdaniel pressers?
I haven't seen the pressers.
In the past: Joe Montana.
Heels have a horrible, or should I say nonexistent, history at QB. Mitch and TJ Yates are the only heels that have ever won a playoff game. They have a combined total of two wins.
Thanks @gteeitup! Glad to be back occasionally. I got a big job change last December to an executive position at a big national bank.
anywhere from 7-10 to 12-5 for me re: dallas…i was okay with the off-season moves, except for not firing o-line coach…good thing is, mike wanted to keep his guys, so it’s all on him now…one step closer to getting sean peyton for me haha…the defense should be outstanding, so that’s something to be positive about.
Awesome, congrats.
Great post. I agree with all of this.
lol, a Michael Irvin-hosted show? I'd have said it auto-recorded too.
lol is this the audio when he said if the cowboys clean up the penalties they’ll be chasing the 72 dolphins?
no SB contender but I think the Panthers might surprise you and sneak in there. I'm not betting on it though.
I absolutely despise the Steelers but my loyalty to all things Carolina put me in the weird position of not pulling for whatever team they happen to be playing. Congrats to Mitch but he is damn lucky he didn't get intercepted there late on a toss he probably should never have attempted.
This times ten and I always thought Mitch got a raw deal in Chicago. Being a Ravens fan, it pains me to no end ever wanting Pissburg to win anything. Being more worried about Cincy in the long run, I was okay with a squealers win, but was really hoping for the tie.
