I thought Terell Pryor was punished for tattoo gate even though it happened in college? Dis the CBA change in regards to this since then?

No, we don't. You're a troll.

lmao, after defending all the crap DW pulled, now you find this disturbing and take a shot at baker fans? You're fake news.

This proves it's all about image. One happened on national TV, the other away from the spotlight.

I believe Steven A said Myles should have been charged with assault. Wonder if this new incident even gets any airtime.

Dumb comments like that and Booger's hypocrisy are also further proof that talking heads will say things they hope keeps them employed. While the mob is a very real thing, I'd say a good number of the mob only feign outrage so they don't lose their jobs.

QFT. Nailed it.

I didn't see any of those goofy helmet pads in use. Isn't that a NFL mandate in practice, or are joint practices exempt?

At any rate, if "protecting the brand" as we have heard about in the Watson deal is important, I would think the NFL has to make some sort of move.

Reading that transcript of the allegations of the Bills’ punter is disturbing. As I said with Watson, if he is proven guilty, the suspension should be extreme here.

100%

It will take some major air play on the major sporting networks to get any legs.

Bring Josh home!

The grind?

You obviously haven't been paying attention. That would be watson fans.

It’s literally in the rules.

Violent or threatening behavior among employees, whether in or outside the workplace;
Possession of a gun or other weapon in any workplace setting, including but not limited to stadiums, team facilities, training camp, locker rooms, team planes, buses, parking lots, etc., or unlawful possession of a weapon outside of the workplace;
Conduct that imposes inherent danger to the safety and well being of another person;
and Conduct that undermines or puts at risk the integrity and reputation of the NFL, NFL clubs, or NFL players.

Booger is a hypocrite.

Behind Collinsworth he is the talking head I find most annoying.

I am not a fan of modern day ESPN whatsoever.

Not going to get me trying to change your mind on that.

As soon as I saw the Donald incident I knew (as I’m sure we all did) that it would get about 5% of the traction and outrage that the incident with Garrett received.

In a short time it will be forgotten about.

Baker with 2 TD passes against the Bills. He looks pretty good. The announcers were saying that he has the uncanny ability to read Defenses and go through progressions. Granted he did hit his 3rd read on the 2nd TD pass but that comment had me laughing out loud.

Anyways, we really need to apply constant pressure on Baker when we play him since we know how bad he plays under pressure. If he consistently has time in the pocket, it will be a long day for the Browns. The Panthers D is pretty good as well.

Heard a radio talk guy say something to the effect of: Darnold needs to stop being childish.

Well, Darnold was just carted off with a bad ankle injury. Too bad for him

I happened to watch the first 3 drives by CLT - to be fair, the announcers were making it sound like every 2nd and 3rd string RB, TE and WR out to be a potential all star. it was usual rah-rah preseason stuff. Also to be fair Bills blitzed a lot, and Baker was getting the ball out quickly enough and was hitting receivers hands. But it was against 2nd and 3rd string Bills players. The first TD he threw was not a good throw - behind the RB who made a good catch. The 2nd TD was very good. But the Browns will be a completely different level of D - and our speed with JOK and in our secondary is 2 levels above what the Bills had last night.

In her ruling, Judge Robinson said this about the NFL:



It's not about being proactive and doing the right thing w/the NFL. It's about being reactive to public opinion. I fully understand that NFL rules say that teams will handle punishment for issues that occur during practice, but what kind of policy is that when you have two opposing teams on the field during a practice? Is committing a crime okay if you do it in one location but not another? I actually do understand that things happen in a team's individual practice. I've witnessed and participated in a few of them. However, it's a different animal when you have two opposing teams on the practice field. Once again, the NFL is demonstrating that it is not a "forward-looking" organization.

In his first tweeted reaction to the Donald incident, he says "And let’s check in on another joint practice. Lol". He had such outrage when MG did the same thing, he almost had tears in his eyes. What a frickin' phony.

Seriously, if he did this walking down the street he would get suspended.

I don't understand how he's not suspended... he ripped a helmet off... hit someone with it twice... 100% should be suspended at least a couple of games...

The guy he hit should press charges and take it out of the league's hands somewhat. Or the Cincinnati PD. There's plenty of evidence.

You just don't like the rule. Once again, the CBA is agreed to by both the union and the owners. It's a contractual agreement.

Does that make it great? No, it doesn't.

I'm not so sure it's even a rule. The CBA language could be interpreted that the NFL has the right to suspend him (they definitely will not) as actions did occur on a playing field.

If the the public and media outcry was loud enough the NFL would act. The media brushed this off and moved on to the next story. It was the league's own NFL Network that quickly came out and said the NFL doesn't intervene on what happens in practices. The NFL does not want to suspend Aaron Donald.

From the CBA:

Fines or suspensions imposed upon players for unnecessary roughness or
unsportsmanlike conduct on the playing field with respect to an opposing player or players
shall be determined initially by a person appointed by the Commissioner after consultation
concerning the person being appointed with the Executive Director of the NFLPA, as
promptly as possible after the event(s) in question.
