I stated as much when the NFL suggested a year. No way they were going to end on a year, and here we sit.
I guess it doesn't much matter what the suspension is, he's going to play again but I'm not all about it. I think there is 0% chance this is a well adjusted professional person. I see very little here to support the position that 24 are lying.

The integrity of the product is everything in professional sports. Leagues run on fans believing what they see is genuine.
As much as folks complain about how criminals are allowed to stay in the NFL and they won't watch, people still watch. Maybe if millions of fans stop watching and buying, the NFL will deal out harsher punishments. Until then, gambling punishments will always be harsher.
Vick was allowed back. People kept watching. Hardy was allowed back. Same deal. Big Ben was redeemed. Viewership went up.
It's not the fans that drive changes. It's the advertisers. If the Browns had a bunch of their sponsors drop them, they'd find a way to cut his ass. See the team formerly known as redskins. [Reply]
If Goodell doesn't appeal to raise the length all I can conclude is Ridley should be pissed and appeal his bullshit suspension. 6 games for a serial rapist, but oh **** man if you bet on your own team to win in a game you're not even playing in or smoke some weed... you deserve death!!!1111
