When this thing was heading to the initial hearing, I predicted 12 games. 
 

This was a good deal for Watson.
 

But if he truly is a serial predator, this won’t be the last we hear from him.

 miyagi his forced apology (noone is buying it) especially his "triggering" comment today shows me this guy clearly still does not get it. At all. He makes my stomach turn.  His pockets are soo deep this fine and lost revenue will  hurt him squat. blech.

Last week he did but that’s only because  he was trying to get the settlement. He must have forgotten he already apologized oopsie 

 

Or he does remember, and is rubbing everyone's face in the fact that he clearly doesn't give a ***** and gets away with it.

Watching the NFL network interviewing Haslams and GM Jimmy said that and the reporter did a good job coming back at him with Deshaun saying he didn't do anything wrong earlier.

 

Wow Kareem Hunt is going to love being lumped in with this.

I don't think predators can be addressed or fixed and I wouldn't shed any tears,

 

 

There is data on this. Sexual predators tend to be "the worst humans" when it comes to rehabilitation. Murderers, thieves, drug dealers, all have significantly better rehabilitation rates than rapists and pedophiles at scale.

The NFL had a choice between hitting Watson hard and then having the NFLPA challenge the lawfulness of his new disciplinary process (as they had threatened) or find a settlement and protect the process that Goodell and his client journalists have told us is wonderful and out of the reach of the courts. 

 

They did what they always do. They took the self intrested route and found a settlement. It sucks but I am not surprised.

I recently had a 3 day reddit ban for saying "I hope he tears his ACL in preseason so his suspension gets pushed off a year/when he is healthy". And here we are on TBD discussing murder.

 

Apparently I was threatening?

If so, then this won’t be the last time his name is in the news for sexual deviancy. And at that point, if his new action still doesn’t amount to what is perceived as a crime,   after the blowback from this situation, the counseling, and the fines from his prior transgressions, I suspect he’ll get the lifetime ban.

 

EDIT: And Haslam is lying through his teeth. No way he makes that trade again (at least for the same compensation) given all that he knows now.

I thought the whole holdup was that they didn't want him on the field vs the Texans! What a slap in the face to the numerous victims in the Houston area. The NFL should be ashamed of themselves. They had every right and the power to suspend him at minimum 12 games if not the whole season as they had anticipated

11 games is also enough the story will die down enough to not be what it is now sadly.

2nd chance?? 24 women he did this to. 24!!! That's 24 second chances Jim & yet he kept doing it. & He's sorry? Sorry is for accidents, can't be sorry & turn around to do it to someone else. 11 games is less than a half a game a suspension for each woman he victimized. & $5mill? At least we know how much Jim Haslam, the Browns, the NFLPA & the NFL "value" women. Disgusting.

24 sued him, some didn't, he also saw at least 60 therapists.

This is such a bad look for the Browns and the league.

The NFL has really set itself up for failure on this one. I can't even imagine the headlines leading up to Deshaun Watson's first game back IN HOUSTON. He could have come back the following week and it would have been so much less of a circus. The only positive is the amount of boos he's going to hear from the fans after he sexually assaulted half of the city and then refused to play for their team for a whole season

At least 24.  Bearing in mind there are several who have come forward who did not join the lawsuits.

 

He's being fined $455k per game.  That's like 1% of his AAV or 1% of his signing bonus, 10% of one year's AAV

 

Slap on the dingus

It is more than 24 some of the ones that were part of the grand jury thing weren't suing.
