It's been repeatedly said by many of us.............Thank You, Haslam, Browns, Hardin, Mulugheta and Watson for so generously removing us from the chaos that was Watson!
Deshaun Watson Situation Testing the Limits of Browns Fans
A bad week for new Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson reveals just how challenging the situation can be for its fanbase.www.si.com
Feels like we’re right in the middle of it with the way this thread is updated.
It's news that significantly concerns the Texans. Where the Browns/Watson issues go, go the Texans picks. Those that are not interested in following updates are welcome to simply tune out.
There are only a couple of people who keep this thread pinned
Yet you keep replying
a Kicked dog always yells. How do you know I was talking about you?
It makes no sense. You complain about people who post in the thread in which you keep posting lol. You don’t have to read anything or come into the thread.
Just curious. What incentive does the NFL have to make things easier for the Browns?
At the time pretty well knowing that Watson was unlikely to be in attendance, at least at the beginning of the season if a suspension came down.
I understand that. My question is why does the NFL care? Why would they do the Browns a solid & not the Colts, Eagles, or Packers… why not help the Texans?
I'll start with Why did they not help the Texans?.....well they didn't. Next, most assumed that before this really blew up, they weren't going to do the right thing and they would give him an easy suspension. because they thought it would quickly all blow over once he came back. They could then independently deal with the Browns and Haslam on another level at their own pace. The NFL and Goodell have miscalculated every step of the way. Why would anyone now believe that any of this would be an exception?
Why didn't the Texans get into his money? They didn't need the nfl for that. They could've refused to pay him because he refused to play.
Supposedly, Watson and Hardin have paid off two DAs and grand juries. Watson and his team have made the Texans pay him for not playing. They have influenced Cleveland reporters like Cabot. They have influenced the Browns front office QB moves. Now they have even influenced the NFL schedule makers.
I believe the McNairs didn’t want him in a Texans uniform.
You need to improve your methods
Then you don't care what happens to the draft picks?
It's not like we haven't seen this for years down on Kirby.
Did Watson refuse to play....or did the Texan choose not to play him? I remember him reporting and the Texans pretty much keeping him off the field, or out of harms way. I don't remember Watson refusing to play though. I think the Texans chose to put some distance between him and the team before he had a chance to "refuse" to play.
Where does that come from?
Glass houses.
Instead of waiting on the nfl, they should've gotten into all his money or made him play or fake an injury. Let me push this angle. Maybe they didn't want to piss off athletes 1st in the future. That agent firm has some heavy hitters and if the organization ruins its relationship with them, then in the future they might steer their clients away.
What have they gotten that they deserve? Undue attention? Let me let yall in on a little secret. The nfl is bulletproof for the most part. Irsay has been high as a kite and what happened to him? Stallworth and the Little ran over people drunk and killed them and they played. The Lions coach was caught driving drunk naked and still coached. Kraft was caught soliciting prostitution and is still the owner and one of the biggest voices in the nfl. The Cowboys had a cocaine and whore house that everyone and their mama k new about, didn't matter. As sad as this is, next year, it probably won't register, they will probably get even more money from TV rights deal. That's the nfl, teflon of all the leagues and they keep gaining popularity.
From one of our board “insiders”
Should have been suspended and had all pay witheld at that point!
The reasons this would have never worked and would have been a poor decision has be repeated covered ad nauseum.
I’m convinced. No way a man who would make a public spectacle for a number would ever commit the atrocities he’s accused of
This needs to be fixed in the new CBA.
They should make him wear #22.
Like they did Vick? How long did that last? How long did the protest last with Big Ben? Leonard Little? Donte Stallworth? In terms of Clarence Hill, he should resign for his cover-up involving his wife. None of that banter lasts. You know as well as I do because every football team wants their team to win. Where are the advocates protesting Kareem Hunt? He was cut, signed,served his suspension, and started balling and nobody did anything.
Based on what? They could've fined him for not playing. If he faked an injury, so be it. Just be fact of refusing to play is conduct detrimental to the team.
