"Media" throws out rumors and then fans report it as fact even when the team says it never happened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the NFL is perfectly fine letting this go to appeal because I don't believe that they think there's any way that he doesn't get at least 12, so I don't believe that they think that they are really at any risk of losing anything by turning a deal like that down. I agree. If the appeal comes back as less than 12, how does the NFL look in PR terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that was true, it was entirely consensual (she bragged to anyone who listened). Certainly in a different atmosphere than sexual assault/harassment/misconduct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfNewYork Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 "I know I have a lot of work to put in, especially on the field to be able to make sure I'm ready to play whenever that time comes whenever I can step back on the field," Watson said before the game. "But also, the biggest thing is I want to continue counseling and I want to make sure that I'm growing as a person, as an individual for my decision-making on and off the field. I want to make sure that I'm just evolving in the community as much as possible, and that is for the Cleveland community, that is the NFL community and beyond." "I want to say that I'm truly sorry to all of the women that I have impacted in this situation," said Watson, who was first accused of sexual misconduct in March 2021. "The decisions that I made in my life that put me in this position I would definitely like to have back, but I want to continue to move forward and grow and learn and show that I am a true person of character and I am going to keep pushing forward." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you did it without saying you did it, holy hell. This is basically like that OJ Simpson book - only someone at the publishing house had the common sense to not publish it. And, he wants to CONTINUE counseling? So at least he's IN counseling. That's... progress, I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the “indefinite” portion is their big fear, so perhaps in their mind that removes that. I think 12 games is best case scenario for him, but maybe I’m wrong.

TXsteeler Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 14 hours ago, brownie man said: Because Harvey isn’t going to give him a year. There’s no precedent for it. Harvey can’t just be a yes man he’s got an entire career. You can’t compromise your integrity just to make the NFL happy. He’s making more money outside of the nfl and for his practice than the league is paying him. He won’t get Deshaun an indefinite suspension im 99.9 percent sure. He’s giving the league an opportunity to negotiate to save face. My guess is Harvey is ready to give him 12 games. Why would the league have picked someone to do this that wouldn't be a yes man and would force them to "negotiate to save face"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree, but it’s optics and a “see I showed remorse” card for the appeal/removing the indefinite portion. If all cases are settled and no new ones arise, they won’t really be able to prove remorse or lack thereof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that everything else is he said, she said. He did what some were hoping he did, obviously still not enough for them because they want him to suffer.
