Mr. WEO

lol Gil Brant. Did you notice what year that was written. I’m guessing no. Anyway, “persistent” is clinging to a thread based on how 2 players seemed similar years ago…at the combine!! But yeah, we all hope Oliver finally reaches the next level, as every season so far is a “potential breakout season” for him. And maybe Miller can work that same magic on him as he did on that total project Aaron Donald

In 2018 Goff was 4th in yards and 5th in TDs. In 2019, he was 3rd in yards and 6th in TDs. Last season, the Rams signed a guy named Matt Stafford as their QB. True, he was "not top 5...not even top 10"---he was top 3 (yards). Top 2 in TDs, #6 in QB rating. McVay is a genius in Goff's rookie year, then, the next 2 years.....less of a genius as Goff somewhat declined. Then, his GM scores another big get for him with Stafford and presto!---McVay is a genius again! He was a year younger than Tomlin was when he won his first SB. Tomlin Also brought his team to 2 SB in his first 4 years (it took McVay 5). Who is saying that Tomlin may become one of the *best* coaches ever?

a chance to maybe be *the* greatest ever?? lol WTF

Had me fooled. I thought it was Mitch Trubisky.

"I hope and pray you all can understand..." Don't waste your prayers bro....

He will get a hefty fine. The NFL understands the game he and the Browns are playing

Their case in general would be weak, given the court's established refusal to override bargained for agreements. I wouldn't be surprised if they asked for one either.

Not really. The NFL is clearly challenging the decision to give him only 6 games. Also, why would the NFLPA's decision not to appeal the suspension decide not to attempt to seek an injunction if they sue in federal court? It would be a suit they have a low chance of winning so wouldn't their strategy be to get Watson playing week 1 if possible while the court hears the case. Are they precluded from doing so?

That didn't happen as much back in the day

Come on....

It would be hard to argue that the NFL, by appealing the decision, "did not challenge" the decision.

what if that's his goal?

It's all part of the show that the NFL has created out of this mess--all for our viewing/and reading pleasure. Watson's awful human habits have been an unexpected boon to the NFL this off season.

Maybe they got tired of Aaron Rodgers's BS last year. As of 2 summers ago: "These Are the Most Incredible Active Sellout Streaks in Sports Andrew Lisa June 2, 2020·12 min read In 1959, Dwight Eisenhower was president, no one had heard of the Beatles yet, and the Green Bay Packers were playing to sold-out crowds at a stadium that had yet to be renamed Lambeau Field. Fast forward nearly 60 years, and the two surviving Beatles are in their late 70s, Ike is a footnote in history, and the Packers are still playing to sold-out crowds at Lambeau. The most dramatic sellout streaks can span generations and even lifetimes, and they galvanize teams and unify fans. Some attendance records cluster around sports dynasties, while others seem to last forever no matter how the team performs. Either way, one truth is undeniable: When it comes to the business of sports, capacity crowds always are welcome. The Packers also stand out, however, for their astonishing 60-year sellout streak, which has endured from 1959 to the present. Yet, in another oddity, the Packers don’t hold the longest sellout streak in one city. As of Nov. 4, 2018, they’d played 359 straight games in Green Bay, Wisconsin — fewer than the Denver Broncos’ 400 in a row in the Colorado capital — because they played 107 “home” games at Milwaukee County Stadium between 1960 and 1994, according to the Denver Post. The loyal fans in Milwaukee wanted to see the Packers closer to home."

accounts---up to 4 tickets each, doc

I've said so a few times. There's really no other explanation other than she is doing exactly what the NFL expected her to do--low ball the suspension so they could come in with righteous hammer dropping to quell the public disgust. Unfortunately she had to come up with a reason that really compromises her presumed legal intelligence.

Who knows 38,000 "season ticket holder accounts", up to 4 tickets each

Saints have gone completely limp. They're done.

She's just saying that the NFL should have collectively bargained for the suspension schedule for every number of murders conceivable--each listed separately so even an NFL player or his union rep could understand.

And yet GB has no trouble selling tickets at night in December...

I think you've surfaced too quickly too many times, scuba guy...

When posters say "At first I resisted clicking on Jerry Sullivan's latest article", it's pretty much an admission that they read everything he puts out. It's right up there with the endless posts along these lines: "if the NFL does (X), then I'm done with them", and "I stopped watching ESPN decades ago----I only watch it now when...." Total BS lol
