So 6 games he can play instead of 6 games he can sit. I see what you did there Goodell

Who is the fine paid to?

First game back will be against the Texans.

NFL knows how to jack up the ratings!

6 games left he can play so his contract won't toll over.

The NFL Player Care Foundation and the Gene Upshaw Player Assistance Trust.... all player fines are donated to these groups since 2011

$5 million fine is chump change.

And I thought I couldn't get any more cynical.

Yes game is in Houston.

I looked at Browns schedule yesterday with idea that 11-12 would be the number of games and figured the NFL would go with 12 to avoid at Texans as first game back.

The Texans thing is a coincidence. If it were a 12-game suspension, he wouldn't accrue a full season and his contract would roll over to begin the following year. So it makes some sense that they'd settle at that threshold.

In other news, first the Haslams and now Watson using the term 'triggered.' I cannot tell you how much I detest this organization.

Deshaun Watson on why he’s apologizing then: “For everybody that was affected by this situation. There were a lot of people that were triggered.”

Browns have the absolute worst PR management I've ever seen. Holy shit, just shut the fuck up and slink off with your new scumbag QB.
[Reply]

Will be a useless game. Browns season will be over by then and the Texans will as well.
[Reply]

Anyone that uses the word triggered deserves to be “triggered” right in the nuts.

I hope the browns go 0-16 and Watson gets caught jerking off on a sheriff’s daughter.
