Summary
Conor and Gary welcome back Jenny Vrentas of the New York Times to delve into all things Deshaun Watson once again.
A discussion of why Sue Robinson’s factual determinations in her ruling are much more significant than the number of games she suggested for a suspension, how the door was flung open for the NFL to determine its own punishment, and how all of it should force the NFL to confront some of its outdated stances (and terminology) regarding sexual violence.
Plus, what’s next as the NFL moves forward with its appeal and Watson continues to show no remorse for his actions.
Then, a look at the relatively light punishment for owner Stephen Ross and the Dolphins as the NFL gets them on tampering charges—and, in a way, gets them on tanking charges but decides Ross was just joking.
