You know I never watched that show until my ex and I separated so had the kids half the time, and the boys of course are Famiky Guy addicts at least back then. I sat down just to be with them and just started belly laughing. I must have been last to the party, but eventually was hooked. It’s a great view when on the eliptical or stairclimber as you forget how hard you’re working when you’re belly laughing. It does suck they could never convict that POS with any of the allegations.

Matt_In_NH Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 The fine seems very weak. He should have at least got the per game average of his contract value. 11/17 of 40 million. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 11 games, his contract doesn’t toll. Guess who gets 46 mil next year? NFL caved and Watson won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Pretty pathetic by the NFL in this whole process. He should have been immediately suspended indefinitely and at least for 1 full season. Calvin Ridley places a few bets and gets a full season? This clown has how many women making claims against him? NFL probably saw $$$ when thinking about "fans having a villain to root against" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so much you can do as a PR team in some situations, especially in a no-win situation like this in being saddled with a national and negative story in which the main parties involved -- QB and ownership -- seem to be tone-deaf to reality. jw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 The Browns just instantly became the most hated team in the league. I can’t imagine they have any fans outside of Cleveland. The chants at Browns away games this year should be pretty great. I hope that team crashes and burns. A QB who hasn’t played meaningful football in over 2 years? Maybe he forgot how to play and is terrible. Just wish all the worst for that organization and their QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 11 games makes sense, as it makes the Browns/Bucs game easier for Brady. As far as Watson goes, I never saw him as a true top QB, and that was before he missed and will end up missing the better part of 2 straight seasons. He might come back and just be decent, which would be karma for the Browns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL appealed the decision so it went to Goodell who appointed someone else to handle the decision that would likely have been harsher.

He's ruining himself even now. Some of them are frustrated with the NFL also because they believe the ban should have been at least a year. Don't be surprised if the NFL uses his "treatment" as a reason to hold him out even longer if this continues to blow up in their faces.

What did you live in a cave or something? And its pretty disturbing that you basically just implied in your first sentence that because Watson is a better at football that its not really an issue he sexually preys on women and shows no remorse for doing so either.

Haslam was just an idiot who outright admitted it. While there is obviously some truth to teams more willing to go after a controversial player like this based on how good the player is, it's not at all why Kap was black balled, and Watson isn't. Kap was good enough to be in the NFL, but he was a threat to the NFL's money, because half this country was in an uproar over Kap and threating to boycott or stop watching the NFL over him. There is no national outrage over Watson despite doing something infinitely worse such as sexually assaulting over 24 women without remorse or accepting responsibility for his actions. And the reason is simple. Both sides of the political aisle and national media politicized Kap because each side got a pop from their base over it. There is no political value in Watson because he did something that universally is seen as undeniably wrong. Which is why he isn't being debated nightly in the mainstream media taking opposing sides and rallying each of their bases up. Without half the country threatening to boycott the NFL, Watson is not the same threat to the NFL's revenue that Kap was, and that is the real difference in how the two situations have been handled by the NFL. Watson is more just another short-term PR issue that will just fade away without much consequence to the league, if any. They just need to make a statement they feel his actions are wrong, and a fine and suspension do just that. Even if people aren't satisfied with the severity of the punishment, it's not enough to make a lot of the NFL's following walk. And that is the sad truth. Threat to the NFL's money, treated more severely. Just look at how severe Ridley was punished for something that was so minor compared to what Watson did. It's because Ridley's actions could lead to things that would jeopardize the leagues integrity which poses a much bigger financial risk for the NFL.
