MichiganCardinal Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Just now, KL2 said: That's true of any workplace through. There are certain rules such as don't drink on the job. Off site ok, work hours not so much. What is “on the job” though? They’re allowed to drink in many of the circumstances where any form of gambling is prohibited. For instance, the team hotel and plane. If six games is a prescribed penalty within the policy, it is what it is. Jameson needs to know better and it’s inexcusable. If it’s Goodell and his cronies waving their magic wand and dictating a number though, I would expect an appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Well, here's your How can the Lions **** it up scenario we all knew was coming, right? I mean, you didn't think they were going to actually cruise to the NFC North title. Talk about stupid And yes, the irony of it with all the gambling entities in bed with the NFL. Maybe an appeal gets it down to 3 or 4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFLPA certainly could bring a case against the league about how gambling is PROMOTED by the league itself. Still a stupid move by WIlliams, but if he wasnt' gambling on his own league..........then lets get real here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gilmore Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Does this increase the odds of them picking Bijan? Less WR capabilities (for 6 games), but more RB punch (and RB passing targets). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know, thanks to the Jamo trade, that Brad Holmes likes elite playmakers when he identifies them. If Holmes and the front office have Robinson identified as one of the few elite playmakers in this draft they may not care as much about positional value and just go and get him.

There's a gigantic difference between suggesting that drafting a QB rather than resigning a veteran could save on cap space (which is an objective fact, btw) and saying: "you can only win with a QB on a rookie contract" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 They’ll be alright. I’m disappointed in Jameson, but it’s a stupid mistake. Everyone else was largely insignificant. I hope Jameson comes out in week seven with a huge chip on his shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Are we allowed to be on the length of the suspensions after appeal? Yeah, probably, because I doubt he'll get the full 6 games. As far as Quintez goes.............what a dumb way to end your career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
