Yeah, I agree with that. The problem - like you infer - is that it is so broad and/or unguiding in terms of meting punishments that one might expect she would moor herself to some type of precedent or guidance, but I have no idea what that is, outside of Goodell, who has been inconsistent.
Who knows? And in reality, the way this process works, at least as I understand things, the Commissioner can still issue any punishment he wants if he disagrees with the arbitrator. I am not sure he would do that, but he could.
As for precedent, the guideposts are anywhere from a 1 game suspension to indefinite. Think about indefinite. That is like something you might receive in China. "You're going to jail, and I will let you know when you're getting out", LOL.
