Honestly, I feel like this can only help KC.
I mean whats the NFL going to do? They gonna drop the hammer on Rice while not doing it to Addison? Or Flowers for that matter? Or are they going to 'make an example' of 3 of the best young WRs to emerge from last years draft? At the very least, they're gonna have to be consistent. I just can't see them flinging 5+ game suspensions all over the place here without massive pushback. |

Yeah I mean Sutton's penalty has pretty much set the bar that the worst of the worst is gonna get you 8. I think rashee will get off light. I'm fine with that. I just hope he genuinely learns his lesson and hope he doesn't see this as "getting away with it." Take the penalty and put the actual work in to prove he's learning from this

Moreover, if you look at his grand jury testimony, he ADMITS he took part in the fix. Quote:
He absolutely took part in the fix. He deserved to be banned with all the rest of them. Even if they were the ringleaders or were more committed to the cause, the fact remains that Jackson clearly participated and it wasn't until AFTER the team decided to 'play it straight'. Jackson hit .250 with zero RBI's in the first 4 games (games the team knowingly agreed to fix) and in a 5th game he got an RBI when his squad was already losing 10-1. With runners on 1st and 2nd in game 3 (a fixed game) and nobody out while down 2-0, Jackson popped out on a bunt attempt. I mean...yikes. When the players abandoned the fix, he hit .545 with 6 RBIs. No - Jackson got what he deserved, IMO. |

Think it may go the other way personally, especially after a teammate just died in Addison's case. Sure, they'd look like ****ing idiots after giving Sutton 8 games for essentially attempted murder but I'm sure the league is getting ****ing sick and tired of these dipshits driving like maniacs and putting themselves and others at risk, especially after Ruggs. Could see a severe hammer drop.

Obviously we read 8 Men Out and we had to write a paper on it. My paper was essentially exploring the "Shoeless Joe was Wrongfully Accused" angle because it was picking up steam at that time. It wasn't much of a paper; no sort of hard-hitting novel or anything. Simple little 3 pager but I really was certain when it was done that he was in on the fix. And honestly, I'm not sure how anyone wouldn't be at this point. |

Yeah I'm not sure how DUIs turning into an epidemic is somehow good for Rice other than just always look on the bright side of life

I posted it in the Jordan Addison thread but him straight up asleep blocking a lane on the 105 and Sepulveda is bonkers to me.
Rice racing cars and then leaving is bad. This is incredibly worse. |

"They ain't gonna flag 'em all..." One dude has an issue and I could see them trying to bury him. 3 dudes have issues (and your dude isn't the worst of the lot) and they're going to have a pretty tough time singling your guy out and blasting him. Or blasting all of them. It's the most bizarre strength in numbers example imaginable, but I think it does work. |

The law turning what he did into all sorts of funny funny felonies is an emotional law. I don’t want you guys to be sad but you’re going to be sad.

I could say well the fact that Rice wasn't drunk is certainly a good thing.
But also it's not like he got a breathalyzer considering he left the scene. |
