I feel sorry for the fans of Cleveland to have this clown be the face of the franchise.

Ownership & Watson deserve to get all the ridicule that will come their way today and forever. This isn't something that will go away overnight.

Justice would be a 40 game suspension not including preseason or play-off games.

Remember a few years ago how the Saints were said to be real tight with the New Orleans Catholic Church?  Well now there is evidence that the Saints helped the church keep things quiet.  The church had been raping kids for years and taking them across state lines.  Nothing new to them.  SO why do you think Peyton the NFL cheater all of a sudden quit coaching???  Is he involved??  Probably.  Stay tuned.

I see the fight between Adrian and LeVeon Bell is next month.  Bell is favored to win at this point.  Kind of sad.

How anybody can watch pre-season football is beyond me.

Tonight is Friday, rasslin is on so football really has zero chance.

So, so disappointed in FOX. They didn't show a great sport like rasslin just so they could show the putrid Packer game. Thats ok since I have no interest in the Love fest I watched Shark Tank and then read a book for a while.

Watson going to the Browns. 3 number 1's and 2 number 2's. Baker Mayfield wants to go to the Colts. Now what will the NFL do about Watson?......Suspend him for some games?

So here is the kick in the ...

Watson signs fully guaranteed five year $230 Millon contract that starts in 2023.  If (when) he gets suspended in 2022, his annual salary will be divided by 17 games per season, and he will lose that money for each game he is suspended.

But in 2022, he "only" makes $1,000,000.  Most guys would want to start earning that big money right away.  But now for each suspension game, he will only lose $58,000.     If he would have wanted to start making the big money right away, he stood to lose $2.7Million per game.   

This just in...       Deshaun Watson's punishment increased from a 6 game suspension with $0 fine to 11 games with a $5M fine (the largest ever levied against an NFL player).

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson suspended 11 games, fined $5 million after settlement between NFL, NFLPA

The NFL and the NFL Players Association on Thursday reached a settlement in the Deshaun Watson disciplinary matter, agreeing that the Cleveland Browns quarterback will serve an 11-game suspension without pay after he was accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage sessions.

Watson will also pay a fine of $5 million and undergo mandatory evaluation by behavioral experts and follow their suggested treatment program.

Yet because Cleveland structured his contract to include a 2022 base salary of only $1.035 million, Watson was going to lose only $57,500 per game suspended, without the $5 million fine imposed in the settlement. Watson's total lost pay this season will be $632,500.

Then again...  we don't know how much he had to spend to settle all those cases out of court.

Suspension + fine + his apology = he's still a pig.

But the biggest pig in this whole thing is the Browns owner who ok'd that contract and bringing him to Cleveland. Shame on them.

[Gunner55]

I hope the Dog Pound is asking for Baker back before they play 1/2 their 2023 schedule.

[mike89]

2nd that Dutch!!

I hope the fans boo the entire game

...AND Oh, by the way...

Why, you ask, is the suspension 11 games and not 12 or any other bigger number?   

Because the Browns play Deshaun's old team, the Texans, the week he returns from suspension.   

[glenn57]

yea and they'll probably broadcast that as the game of the week!!!!!!!

Carson Wentz cut by Commies.  Had no guaranteed moneys neither.
