Actual news: Deshaun Watson will face a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday, per reports, on his alleged violation of the Personal Conduct Policy, on Tuesday. Interesting that this procedure will be conducted by an independent arbitrator, instead of the NFL Commissioner. Watson settled on 20 of 24 cases against him, and his defense is saying that he should not be penalized because he was not criminally liable, but the issue has been an embarrassment to the NFL.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, who hasn't had much to report about Watson since fueling the false narrative that a grand jury's decision not to indict Watson on nine criminal complaints somehow amounts to exoneration, the disciplinary hearing of Watson is due to begin on Tuesday.

It's unclear when Watson and the NFL Players Association became aware of this timetable. If they knew about it before 4:49 p.m. ET on Saturday, they didn't say anything about it. It creates the impression, right or wrong, that the whole thing is being hastily slapped together.

Retired federal judge Sue L. Robinson will preside over the hearing and issue a decision on discipline, if any, to be imposed on Watson. The league will propose a punishment, at some point. PFT reported nine days ago that the NFLPA expects the league's proposal to be "unprecedented"

Majority guesswork I heard on sports radio the last few days is the word in league offices is they want an indefinite suspension, min 1 season. As to this independent arbitrator - wasn’t he picked by Goodell’s office? This is Goodall, 100% imo.

Didn’t DW just serve a 1 year suspension? Whatever it was (team or league), he was not allowed to play for a year. Not sure how many years a man should serve for an offense that had no charges filed. I’m old fashioned innocent-until-proven-in-America kind of guy. Prove it or shut up and better 100 guilty go free than 1 innocent is jailed. I thought that was America, anyway … not that Goodall has ever shown allegiance to American principles.

But who does nowadays … everyone, all sides, are situational liars and lack both intellectual consistency and even modest embarrassment at their blatant hypocracy imo. Pox on all houses

Man, i must be old lol.

He's not going to NFL prison.

He sat out all of 2021 while demanding a trade. He was paid the whole year.

oh, i thought he was suspended. I don’t buy that he refused to play but was paid the whole year. He was very vocal before the season, and before his rub n tugs came out, that he wanted a trade. But teams don’t pay players that hold out and refuse to play.

The Texans left him inactive every week.

I cannot believe how foolish the Browns are.

Wow., i didn’t know he got paid last year. hope he thought each tug was worth $2M because he’s getting suspended.

If all he wanted was sex he'd have been way better off paying $1k/hr for a top end escort.

Or get it for free from some of the hundreds of thousands of willing women in Houston.

That’s too easy. Any rich person can do that. Just look at Kraft. I think it is the sick thrill he’s after

Not to mention they set the bar very high for us and others wanting to extend their QBs. The Browns are run by fucking idiots.
