DMD Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 From Ian Rapport: NFL: Michael Crabtree of the Oakland Raiders and Aqib Talib of the Denver Broncos have been suspended without pay for two games each for violations of unsportsmanlike conduct and unnecessary roughness rules in Sunday’s game between the Raiders and Broncos.

Shaft Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Why 2 games? They got ejected early. I mean AJ Green went MMA style and didn't receive a suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def. Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I'm shocked by Goddell and the NFL's completely inconsistent punishments...just utterly shocked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, how do you suspend these guys 2 games and not suspend AJ Green? The NFL hypocrisy is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def. Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Blah blah blah... Yet in the closest incident I can think of somehow OBJ only got 1 game and Norman a fine. Keep up the good work Goddell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdko Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Talib is such a bitch. Always ripping off people's chains, jewelery, etc. Just petty crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work Goddell! Was an official knocked down in that fight? I think that's a part, as well as them going after each other after the altercation in the prior game, and not stopping after being separated. Nothing Goodell does will make some fans happy, they're going to criticize every decision. He's the figure head who fans can hate, and owners can keep smiling and making millions. Until the fans who hate Goodell really stop ALL SUPPORTof the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Suspensions reduced to 1 game each, per Schefter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have perhaps the biggest and longest fight of the year and they get their suspensions reduced. God of the NFL is fickle.

Not one single post above literally saying they should not have been suspended. 1 hour ago, stevegrab said: Some questioned (or criticized) the inconsistencies of the punishment based on "similar" on field fights.

If it would have stopped after the extended block into the stands maybe. But to run across the field and start up again was a suspension level ruckus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Put me down for 1) 'I don't care' 2) Shouldn't wear any jewelry during games and 3) Hair shouldn't hang out of the back of helmets. Now leave me alone while I open a meister brau and evict kids from my lawn so I can get back to yelling at clouds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
