No, don’t be silly. It’s twice the number of games they initially thought appropriate for Ray Rice

Same number of games as Roethlisberger got for his second sexual assault allegation. Neat.

Knock your wife unconscious in an elevator and your team goes out of its way to not fully investigate: 2 games, no repercussions for the team

I think he should have to play the first 4 games with a ball COMPLETELY deflated... Like ur dad makin u smoke the whole pack when he catches you smoking cigs! Ha!

Well, there goes my whole “Simmons to Deadspin” wish.

I’m sure your dad continued, “and son, your coach might deny you proper medical care on the field, or have you work with an unlicensed trainer because he was drinking buddies with him once. You might have a permanent injury that was totally preventable because your head coach is an incompetent and maniacal asshole,…

Anyone who thinks that football players in one of the five power conferences actually get a college education is kidding himself. Many programs actively discourage their players from engaging in any serious academic work.

Players know they can get injured playing football. They don’t know they’ll be denied decent medical treatment after it happens. But I guess he got a state school education out of it so all abuse is justified!

Bullshit. Coaches are entrusted with the safety and well-being of teenagers and young adults. When they screw with it and damage people due to incompetence or malpractice they should be held accountable.

Not possible. Seahawks GM John Schneider just came out and made a clear statement that the team would under no circumstances draft a player who threatened to hit a female hotel manager in the same manner that he had just hit his girlfriend.

The first straw was being a 40-year-old wrestling fan.

This is horrible, yes. But I may have to steal this to get out of a bad date:

Being an asshole kills. He could have killed his boyfriend to avoid the sin of gayness, which I'm sure is worse than divorce.

If you say, as you have, that the NFL should continue to punish players because of the “optics,”

__________ is _______ unequipped to deal with something so complicated and _______ as _________. The real crime of the ________, who took their every cue from _____ , was in pretending otherwise.

In an effort to create a false impression of due diligence and being mindful of not employing an abuser, Schneider chose to slur a domestic abuse victim by calling her a liar and saying his draftee never hit a woman.
It is so fucking shameful.
