if a woman is truely beaten and calls the policevyoy dont think the man should be arrested for her protection? It sucks if you are innocent but I think its pretty reasonable for protection of a very real and common problem.

http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=nflnation&id=21598&src=desktopSTANDARD OF CONDUCT While criminal activity is clearly outside the scope of permissible conduct, and persons who engage in criminal activity will be subject to discipline, the standard of conduct for persons employed in the NFL is considerably higher. It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime. Instead, as an employee of the NFL or a member club, you are held to a higher standard and expected to conduct yourself in a way that is responsible, promotes the values upon which the League is based, and is lawful. Persons who fail to live up to this standard of conduct are guilty of conduct detrimental and subject to discipline, even where the conduct itself does not result in conviction of a crime. Discipline may be imposed in any of the following circumstances: Criminal offenses including, but not limited to, those involving: The use or threat of violence; domestic violence and other forms of partner abuse; theft and other property crimes; sex offenses; obstruction or resisting arrest; disorderly conduct; fraud; racketeering; and money laundering; Criminal offenses relating to steroids and prohibited substances, or substances of abuse; Violent or threatening behavior among employees, whether in or outside the workplace; Possession of a gun or other weapon in any workplace setting, including but not limited to stadiums, team facilities, training camp, locker rooms, team planes, buses, parking lots, etc., or unlawful possession of a weapon outside of the workplace; Conduct that imposes inherent danger to the safety and well being of another person; and Conduct that undermines or puts at risk the integrity and reputation of the NFL, NFL clubs, or NFL players.

Y'all may not like what CRA is saying and it might not be fair or right but its the reality.

This stupid Commissioners list will come to an end when a few more players of influential owners get put on there.

How does my recognition of Cleavland and Ohio as a poo hole equate to hate for Gin.

Correct, but there was no rule to now say has been changed. Who knows what will happen...

Whatever it is they need to just do it so that both he and prospective teams can move on accordingly

But two games wasn't the rule or the general outcome as it was handled on a case by case basis. PED and Drug offenses were handled by the CBA while personal conduct issues where not. That lead to each one being handled on a case per case basis. There was no prior rule so to me any new rule can applied IMO. I'm not trying to defend the leagues handling but I don't think it's out of line much either. To me the problem is they have to set something and stick with it and not have the Guantanamo Prison thing going on. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/nfl-domestic-violence-policy-suspensions/

Why do you think 2 at worst?

He's a better punt returner than kick returner.He returned more punts for us than kicks the year he was here. Also, he has returned more punts than kicks the last 4 seasons.

Unless home is a poo hole

HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?

It's just Ted Ginn

That's exactly why he won't fit in well here. If and when we go through a bad spell, if and when we aren't a big passing oriented team he will be frustrated just the same. He can be pretty good but it's not like he is a top receiver.

It is a wash between he and Bell and likely more expensive. Hopefully they are fishing for a 1 year deal.

It says image, not history. You pussie.

How was he treated unfairly? He had to see this coming the day he signed that contract.

I mean in terms of it's affect on league image. I don't think it's that big if it was an unknown incident from before the NFL. It would be worse if it came after he started to have incidents that should have caused them to look into his scenario.

Only if the tape was known to exist prior to him entering the NFL and it was seen by the league and teams. If not then it's pretty much meaningless IMO.

It's not like he wasn't already arrested for domestic violence against his own mother. Is anything out of the realm of possibility?

This headline gets straight to the point: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25079200/deangelo-williams-cut-cap-room-injuries-poor-play-likely-reasons

I think there was some memory loss involved here.

Again, if he felt hurt then he felt hurt and that is up to him. But embellishing for the affect the day he announces he will be released is tacky.
