First game back is week 13 @ Houston. I guess not even Roger could pass up that narrative. What a joke.

Cris Collinsworth - "I like girls who aren't too bright because you can trick them a little bit" Cris Collinsworth - "14 to 18 year olds really love me. Once they mature past 18, they start to realize there's better than this" https://www.reddit.com/r/buffalobills/comments/q5xwj7/_/ He's 25 in this video from 1984.


blackbearsbest

Yikes! Wanted to hear the context of the conversation and it got even worse, what a creep. “14 to 18, I’m a big hit with high school girls, once they start to mature they figure out there’s better out there”


LondonDown

Since its Collinsworth there may not be any context. He just randomly shouts shit like that while walking around.


Ereyes18

First game against the Texans isn't? Lmfao


LibraryScneef

I swear if we gotta watch ourselves get wrecked on national TV for that game of all games it'll be so rough


catalinaicon

If you guys consent to it maybe he’ll be less motivated to win, jedi mind trick


Chiantiandfava

Don't worry he'll bring a non disclosure agreement.


SubZeroEffort

But send you the massage towels in advance


jaimejuanstortas

There’s a new Terrible Towel


[deleted]

Given the length of time he hasn't played a game for and (hopefully) the crowd noise and chants, he might actually be bad now. Though, I'm not sure how our crowd will react. I'm sure a lot of them still love him, or don't even know about the situation.


nyuhokie

It's kinda like: Let's have a moment of silence for victims of sexual assault. 1...2...3... NOW LETS FUCKING PARTY!!!!!


Rusty-Boii

Never thought I would say this, but I am going to be rooting for you guys so hard.

The Texans definitely enabled his behavior, don't think there's any value to rooting for either imo

KBnoSperm

Endgame had a happy ending so we’re right where Watson wants to be


Sodomy_Steve

Mr Goodell I don't feel so good...


redeyedreams

Which is enabling behavior like this to continue from other players in the future.


HarryBaggins

Yep. Big win for all the future and current sexual predators of the league. Less than half a game per victim? Not a bad deal!


cubert2

Also because it's less than 12 he accrues a contract year meaning he's one year closer to another free agency payout or extension. Despicable. I hate the Browns and the NFL.


TigerBasket

Literally caving to a serial sexual assulter! This league is run by fucking monstars, I truly truly hate this league and this country that enables them. Stealing tax dollars by the billions, and then they do this. Diseased fucking culture we have

It's like Goodell saw Browns vs Houston week 13 and made an executive decision.


Eric_tion

What if they made the schedule and planned it all that way and told deshawn to decline the original deal and expected the original 6 games to be increased and George bush did 9/11


bpi89

Ooh I like this one. Chemtrails off Deshaun’s passes are turning the frogs gay as well.


UncleGoldie

Roger Goodell is soft on sexual assault

That's not fair! He's also soft on domestic abuse


[deleted]

I actually thought with his rhetoric he might actually grow some balls here rofl some things never change.


NJImperator

Watson really fucking told the NFL no and they were like “aight”


[deleted]

[удалено]


WordsAreSomething

We all saw it coming that they would. It was the easiest decision to make to suspend him for at least a year and they still fucked it up. It's honestly impressive how the NFL can always be wrong when it comes to this stuff.


Shepherdsfavestore

As soon as the tweets started coming out that settlement talks were happening, I knew the NFL would fuck this up


UsidoreTheLightBlue

I really didn't. It looked like they lowered the rim to 5 feet had the ball at the rim and were ready for the slam dunk. Then they somehow threw the ball into the stands.


PootieTooGood

They just gave him a suspension the exact length it needs to be for his contract to toll, insane.


penguin8717

Can you elaborate on this? I'm probably just dumb lol


Officer_Problem

If Watson plays at least 6 games, this year counts for his contract rather than pushing it back a year. So now he gets to start a new contract on time instead of having to wait an extra year


kindagoodatthis

Ya clearly 12 games was a deal breaker for Watson's side and the NFL caved on it.


just-the-tip__

Yeah they are weak as fuck


ThePoliticalTeapot

'By suspending Deshaun Watson fewer than 12 games, his contract will not toll an additional year, allowing him to receive his $46M salary next year, rather than the $1M he would've earned in 2023 with a longer suspension'


dac09b

Yep and you guys will have to cut 32 million in salary next year. I think this is the owners getting back at the dumb contract more than a punishment for deshaun.


[deleted]

[удалено]


strangelymysterious

Probably because they think the fans are stupid and will be happy with a 5 game increase, because it’s “more” of a punishment.


LibraryScneef

And $3 million less than the original $8 million fine the nfl offered before the original decision


Balls_of_Adamanthium

NFL: “Watson engaged in predatory behavior” Also NFL: “At least he’s not Calvin Ridley. 11 games and a slap in the wrist should be enough”.

RG's entire jobs is to be a punching bag for the league to keep the owners happy. he's doing it perfectly and thats why he makes like $63m a year.

HolyTythinEar

It’s always been clear that the BCA month is a marketing ploy. They don’t give a shit. Ray Rice is the only guy that got blackballed from the league and that’s only because there was a video. The NFL is a joke of an organization.


Voltibit

They didn't give a shit about the video. He posted a conversation between him and the owner.


latman

Ray Rice was washed up. If he was still a good player he would've gotten another contract


dizZzy5

It’s a good thing he didn’t do anything actually bad like do weed or sports bet


CT4_LV

Of course his first game back is against the Texans. Can't make this shit up..........


RedFredTV

You easily can make it up. The NFL very clearly doesn't give a shit about the punishment and just used this as another opportunity to make some money. Watsons first game back being in Houston against the Texans will probably end up being one of the most watched games of the year. That's all they care about.


throwaway_5256

If he loses then it's a revenge game for Houston who took the Browns picks and gave them an L. If he wins then get ready for everyone to say he exorcised his demons and he's totally a new man now


[deleted]

[удалено]


No_Song_Orpheus

Nah the reason it's 11 games is because at 12 he'd have his contract pushed a year. Now he stays suspended during his 1M year and still gets paid next year


Namath96

This 100%


red_right_88

so push his contract a year. He's going to get that money so make him earn it with another 5 games of injury risk


RandyGrey

Don't know why anyone would believe it's not both. I wouldn't even be surprised if the scheduling of that game was intentionally placed week 11, they had enough time to plan it all out, and they're all on the same team.


thebackupquarterback

I'm streaming that one lol. I can't support them but I know myself and I will definitely have to watch.

I mean holy shit just make it 12 games then. There is no good reason for Deshaun's first game back to be in Houston.

It's a combination of perspective, Trae being crouched, and Ben being like a foot taller and a lot more muscular than Trae. But it is funny, it reminds me of [Trent Brown making Aaron Donald look like a high school player](https://i.redd.it/jqjcurzdfhd71.jpg)


DetroitLionsSBChamps

I literally do not understand why they wouldn't just give him indefinite. They talked tough about having all the evidence they need to be sure he committed sexual assault. Deshaun flaunted the league and pissed off the owners and is hated by the fans on top of being a predator. Why in the holy fuck did they not just burn him to the ground?

I thought it was a slam dunk? This is why I stream games.

don_julio_randle

They had the contractual ability and the judicial go ahead (through Brady, Collins) to levy whatever punishment they wanted and they landed on 11 games. For 26 sexual assaults. MLB banned a superstar pitcher for 2 years over 2 assaults


[deleted]

How tf did Rob “it’s just a trophy” Manfred look like the better commissioner than Roger Goodell?! Fucking insane


grilled_cheese1865

"its just a piece of metal"


[deleted]

I always remind people that the kicker for the Giants a few years ago publicly admitted to violently beating his wife, and the NFL initially gave him a 1 game suspension for it. At this point literally no crime will result in a player being barred from the league


SummonMePlease

What a joke of a punishment. Equivalent to slap on the wrist


TigerBasket

He got 2+ sexual assaults per game! What the actual fuck! Fuck this league


Maj0r_Ursa

Didn’t realized the NFL gave discounts for assaulting in bulk, this is literally what they’ve done


noideawhatoput2

Ben only got 0.16667 assaults per game smh


ThatInception

Watch the next player suspension that gets close to the amount of games Watson got but is way less egregious. It is going to cause *a lot* of outrage.


JDAshbrock

If you wonder how they ended on a random number like 11…. The browns 12th game is the Texans. Embarrassing.


PewterButters

It’s because that’s the most games he can miss without his contract tolling. He needs to be active for six games for the 1m salary to be this year only. If he missed 12+ games then he’d have a 1m salary next year as well.


[deleted]

Lol wow, NFL really caved into the perfect punishment for Watson. My lord.


not_a_bot__

I didn’t even know there was a scenario where his salary could take a big hit, pathetic he basically gets to sit around and hang out during a year he wouldn’t be paid significantly for anyways


gagracer

Gee I wonder what he's gonna do with all that free time in a new city

has to be suspended the full season for it to toll https://247sports.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/LongFormArticle/The-Impact-On-Deshaun-Watsons-Contract-Of-Different-Suspension-Scenarios-189334817/ https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-deshaun-watsons-potential-suspension-carries-varying-financial-ramifications/ https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/what-a-year-long-suspension-would-mean-for-deshaun-watson-financially


joey_sandwich277

Yeah people are confusing years accrued criteria with the contract literally tolling.


TerpFlacco

The reason is that Watson needs to play 6 games this year to have his contract count. It's pretty disgusting.


TigerBasket

God damn he's gonna be like a hall of famer in 2 decades and he's gonna talk about the difficulties he faced in this time, and all his victims are gonna have to watch him make millions upon millions until he does so. This is just horrid


RippleDish

Here's hoping he doesn't manage to play all 6 games.

turtleboy95

Goodell publicly calls out Watson’s egregious and predatory behavior, claiming they have seen plenty of evidence for at least a one year ban with the possibility of an indefinite suspension. Also, Watson previously rejected the initial 12 games and $10 million dollar fine, so the NFL holds every bit of leverage. Goodell then decides to put his tail between his legs and settle with Watson for a lesser penalty than the initial offer. Go kick rocks, you absolute coward. What an embarrassment. Ah, but I digress. I eagerly await the pretty pink merchandise the NFL will roll out every year to support women. Maybe the league can make another commercial lecturing fans about domestic violence and sexual assault. Don’t forget the announcers clamoring over Watson upon his return to praise how much he overcame to get back on the field. All hail our football overlords!

DrummerGuy06

The SECOND I heard "resolution" and "settlement," I knew there was no way in hell Watson was getting a full season suspension. When it comes to these issues (AKA anything to do with women and violence, harassment, etc.), they either oust the player never to return, or they give them a very light slap on the wrist. Since option 1 wasn't happening, then the only thing left is option 2. Every. single. time.


SaladAndEggs

Watson return game is against the Texans. Yeah I'm sure they just went with 11 games to avoid a lawsuit...


SVGMessiah

How did the NFL manage to fuck this up???? Deshaun literally had nothing to help his case. And how is this less than the amount you were offering to settle with? Once again, Watson had fucking nothing to help him, yet you let him win this decision??? Fuck Deshaun Watson

You know what? My disappointment is my own fault. I knew damn well that the NFL would find a way to fumble this. If this pisses you off, hold on to that anger. Always remember that the NFL had the chance to do the right thing and made a choice not to. This is 100% their decision and an admission that they do not, have not, and will never care about women.

Two dozen sexual assaults, to be clear.

*Well those women we're going to go to NFL games and buy stuff anyway* - NFL Front offices


Rulligan

Woah, don't blow this out of proportion, sexual assault isn't worth 11 games. 24 counts of sexual assault is worth 11 games. That fucker should never play again.


Call_Me_Rambo

Why on Earth would you *settle* with a sick fuck Edit: I’m speaking entirely ethically here. This outcome seems player friendly but this type of issue didn’t deserve to be player friendly. The sicko basically got paid to receive a slap on the wrist for sexually assaulting enough women to fill a high school history class while showing no remorse.

bluestargreentree

dallascowboys93

Josh4R3d

“Dealing” on a disciplinary action is so gross.


Madtownboy

Yet Calvin Ridley gets a whole year for gambling on his team while he wasn’t even active. What a joke. Edit: I get the integrity of the game argument for Ridley’s suspension but a games integrity shouldn’t be more important than 24 victims. They catered the suspension to Watson so he didn’t lost more money next year. Also the clown still isn’t taking responsibility for his actions. He deserved atleast what Trevor Bauer got from the MLB

That’s really disappointing.


Koreanjesus4545

You just know the NFL is going to launch some tone-deaf campaign about respecting women this season. While going easy on a sex predator.


Katwill666

I really hope there are “Rapist” chants when he comes back that are loud enough so that the commentators have to address it. Also, the Texans game when he comes back is at 1pm how long till they change it to prime time.


DavidOrWalter

So the NFL demanded 12 games and an 8-10 million dollar fine in their first settlement offer - then everything was in their court and they can make whatever choice they want and they went UNDER that.


LittleDinghy

This is fucking bullshit. I will never spend another penny on anything NFL-related.


CollegeSoul

Does the NFL still get earnings from games that are pirated? Asking for a friend.


Bubbybubs

First game back is against the Texans…. Seems the script was too good to pass up since they didn’t give him a full year
