Summary

Yesterday NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league wants a tougher penalty for Browns QB Deshaun Watson. Goodell said Watson's actions were "egregious and predatory". Watson was suspended six games last week for violating the league's personal conduct policy. and the NFL appealed the ruling. Goodell himself could have rendered the verdict on Watson, but instead appointed someone else to make the ruling. My question is why? Stop wasting everyone's time! Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	It's time for Grant.
0:03.0	Grant.
0:05.0	And today's rant is brought to you by New Works Plumbing of Sacramento.
0:08.0	Locally owned for over 20 years, New Works has a fix for you.

1:30.6	so why didn't he just render the decision?
1:33.6	Why on earth does the National Football League
