That was why I reacted the way I did to her being pregnant again. It was like, holy shit, seriously?
Unfortunately that whole bit about making changes could work for a lot of people in the league. [Reply]

That's probably how 80% of them viewed him anyway.
Come on, now. You'd be the only one not surprised if the Chiefs cut him. Lol
At this point even if he does get suspended, he's going to appeal. What will he lose his appeal over? Goodell's opinion on the highlights he's read of the case?
Maybe, maybe not. Depending on circumstances, an appeal could impact his ability to play in the post-season. [Reply]

Elliott had an accuser pointing the finger directly at him in his case while Tyreek isn't even accused in this case.... [Reply]

It could’ve happened due to neglect? An accident where he was disciplining his child in a normal way and the kid fought it and it led to the broken arm? [Reply]

riveting take by Kietzman
Dude, Kietzman is an idiot. I had to listen to him because of the Royals on 610. He is desperately making a plea for the NFL to suspend him and for the Chiefs to cut him. [Reply]

Yep, which is why i said he just wanted his 5 min of fame. He wanted the USA to see his face cause he knew every sports media outlet would put it on their networks.

No reason to appeal if he gets games anyway. You can't win. Brady, Peterson and Zeke all lost in court. Appealing to Goodell only works if you have evidence that he doesn't have. In this case everything is sealed. Whatever he gets is final. [Reply]

So they suspended Elliott based on hearsay. An account that wasn't credible enough to seek criminal charges but credible enough to warrant a suspension.
Think about that for a minute and then think about this case. [Reply]
The NFL can do whatever they want with Hill. Just like every employer in America. As long as he’s not punished for a constituitional protected right, race/religion etc. they can fire, suspend you as they see fit. Now there is a union agreement in place. That might keep him from doing something unlilateraly. [Reply]
