DWash suspended for season?

[joeshmo]

If there was a substance abuse violation I find it hard to believe that they waited to suspend him on that portion. He was already a repeat offender.

Since the substance abuse was the same time as the wife abuse, why not just deal out one suspension and go through one appeal process. There isn't exactly a time line the NFL uses to deal out punishments, could take them 1 week, could take them 6 months. Depends on how long the appeals process takes, which by the way probably already happened.

Time to trade Larry Fitz before his price plummets to a 7th rounder

I thought the conduct policy and the substance abuse policy ran on independent tracks. I thought one had no bearing on the other, but I could be wrong.

yeah...I think TJ and others basically called all the people who questioned this to be out to lunch, but looks like it's not independent of each other. And to be honest, I don't know how it could be.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Nice to see that Godell can make up the rules as he goes along. In no way do I condone D-Wash'a actions, but an entire season? Horse ****.

You seem worried TJ.

why the hell would we do that?

 

[joeshmo]

is this really confirmed that Washington was drunk when this happened also? I haven't heard this. If the reality is that he went over to his wife's place, drunk, while already in the program, did whatever he did to leave marks on her neck and break her collarbone and then got BACK IN THE CAR DRUNK and left the scene of the crime, then he's a straight up piece of garbage.

That's hurting a woman and driving around drunk...while already busted. ANY other player on ANY other team and he'd be killed by everyone on this board.

Do not know for sure, but that is the only reason why he would have got a year. Code of conduct policy and drug policy are two separate policies that have no baring on each other. It is stated in the collective bargaining agreement. Heck it could have been a separate drug incident for all we know. It had to of been a combo of the two policies to get a whole year. That or Dwash tried to sell Goodell a bunch of lies and crap to the mans face, something Goodell does not like and will give a longer suspension for.

Yeah, it never made sense to me that one couldn't influence the other. I think my confusion is that punishments for both can't run concurrently. Like if he got 4 games for conduct and 4 games for substance, he couldn't serve them simultaneously. So I knew he wasn't going to get a break on his conduct punishment for "time served" during the substance abuse suspension. I just never thought one could impact the other so dramatically.

really? is there anyone just set in stone that says the above. it makes perfect logical sense to me that if you get suspended for drugs that it would have bearings on new disciplinary action taken against you.

WOW!

That is amazing.

How many people did Leonard Little kill and he never got a full season.

Ray Rice is sweating.

In 1998, Leonard Little of the Rams drove while drunk after his birthday party and killed a young woman who was also a mother. Little received 90 days in jail, four years probation and 1000 hours of community service. He was a pass-rushing DE and later signed a big money contract with the Rams. Six years afte the involuntary manslaughter, he was arrrested again for DUI (believe the charges were dropped). The Rams still kept him on the roster.

Wonder what options the Cards have with DW? Does he return his $$$ while suspended? Do the Cards cut him? Does he get to practice, etc but cannot take the field during the season?

 

[Azlen]

Doug and Wolf were saying this morning that suspensions aren't announced until after an appeals process. If that is the case it means that there is no chance of this being reversed on appeal because the appeal already occurred.

Just one lady picking in downtown St. Louis while driving drunk. Went to Jail but did not receive a year's suspension. Oh by the way he also was arrested for major speeding on a highway but go off.

this was all before Goodell. I have no problem with him throwing the book at these idiots. Little should have been suspended for at least a year if not more, but that was then and this is now.

 

[joeshmo]

Moral of the story - Be a racist get 2 billion dollars. Break the bones of your baby mama get a 10 million dollar roster bonus check and take a year long vacation not having to go to work.

 

[BigRedRage]

no jail time and the felony will become a misdemeanor if he finishes probation without issues but a year suspension from the nfl.

just wow.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Goodell has to be harsh because these morons keep ending up in the police beat literally every week. That more than the concussions is what will ultimately kill the popularity of the game.

That being said, if Aldon and Ray Rice don't get similar penalties then I'm not going to be pleased.

Cool. Your pervasive negative attitude won you a gold star today. Gives you something to fall back on for the weekend.

But glad i got under your skin enough to be called out by name. Cheers

If that's what you're gonna come at me with, then you're completely ignorant to the conversation we has a few weeks ago.

 

[Dayman]

From a football standpoint, this is absolutely devastating. There's no way we go from D-Wash/Dansby to Minter/Alexander without a SUBSTANTIAL drop off in production. When you take depth at the position into consideration, this is probably the biggest loss the team could have suffered.

From a personal standpoint, I can't be too upset. I love watching D-Wash on Sundays, but it's quite possible he's a total POS. Lots of dudes have problems with their exes. Not many do anything this brutal in retaliation.

D-Wash just learned an important lesson about consequences. Unfortunately, we're the ones who suffer the most because of it.

In the CBA, two separate policies. Checked with Urban, Somers, Jurecki, and a few others who have direct knowledge of the CBA. It is what the players bargained.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

That was a different set of people in charge. Not comparable.

I believe it is.

You can use that to compare how things used to be, and how they are now.

Cause if things are harsher now than in the past, then Jim Irsay better get his due.

Will be interesting how the Greg Hardy, and Ray Rice situations will be handled as well.

Seems excessive to me, but we will see once the other verdicts are pasted down by the league we will have something to compare it to.

pervasive negative attitude? it's called realism. I just think you continually calling people idiots for stuff that you seem to know iron-clad for sure details about and being (consistently) wrong is funny. gotta find the humor in something today with this crappy news. so thank you for at least giving me that today.

 

[clif]

This is excessive no matter how you slice it. Dude got less punishment in the court of law. If this is how goodell wants to react then irsay better get a lifetime ban.

we're gonna have to win shootouts this year. Luckily, I think the offense has so massively upgraded that I think we'll still be in the hunt for the playoffs, but Super Bowl dreams are likely just that at this point.

too many just HUGE losses on D, right up the middle of the field. Our DC has his work cut out for him this year. Hopefully Minter's a stud and that mitigates this a little bit.

 

[TJ]

pervasive negative attitude? it's called realism. I just think you continually calling people idiots for stuff you don't know for sure either gets pretty tiring.

this entire thing sucks.

Man, you're really drawing straws with this post. Me disagreeing is a far cry from calling people idiots.

I know you're really emotional right now (as usual) but I'm not the one you should target.
