Regardless ridiculous behavior on Donald’s part. Haha. Dude re-enacts the Last Boy Scout scene in practice. Nfl is like we can’t do anything about that. Up to the team haha. the nfl discipline policy is a joke 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Warcodered said: That is true fights in general would generally get you punished, still no suspension for that fight Josh started, the helmet makes it interesting though. What should happen is that the team should fine/suspend Donald for trying to bash his teammates brains out. What will probably happen is he'll get called into McVay's office for a Good Stern Talking To, he'll say "sorry!" to his teammates, they might assess a minor fine against him, and that's that. Now....if he'd actually injured someone, he could get the Bill Romanowski treatment. For those who don't remember, in 2003, Romanowski went berserk and punched a teammate, tight end Marcus Williams - fracturing his eye socket and ending his football career. Williams sued for $3.4M and was awarded $340,000 for lost wages and medical expenses (total of $415k) - whoop whoop. Meanwhile, the Raiders kept Romanowski on the team, gave him a stern talking-to, and fined him $60,000 Romanowski later admitted he was using Victor Conte's "The Clear" and "The Cream" as well as HGH.

The Wiz Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) The NFL nor the Rams have the balls to suspend him for the opening game.

The NFL can absolutely do whatever it wants. You think if a player grabbed a female water-carriers buttocks at practice, the NFL wouldn't get involved? HA!

CorkScrewHill Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 If I were Roger Goodell I would punish him by forcing the Rams to trade him to a cold winter location, but not in the NFC. It would be best if there was someone senior to him that he would respect that could monitor his behavior (say a Von Miller type).
