Jeff Taylor receives 24 game suspension

why can't the nfl be this good? Rice should have got 6 games off the bat and no one would have said poo.

Seriously. Then again Silver had a front row seat to "what not to do" and his memo covered all the bases.

He explains the different committees the NBA has to handle these cases, the experts that were consulted, and of course his own morality. It's all very well thought out and thorough.

He even got the punishment assessment right, counting the games already served while making sure the league gets their 24 game checks.

No doubt the league is in great hands right now.

If the Rice incident never happened Taylor would've been suspended the first 3 or 5 games and nobody would've blinked an eye. It would've been briefly mentioned on ESPN once or twice but that's it. Since it did happen, Taylor was suspended nearly a 1/3 of the season and it's a headline on ESPN.

Don't act like Silver and the NBA are moral saints or geniuses. It's like your friend failing a test then giving you the answer sheet. Would've been pretty hard for them to screw this up.

The NBA PA is prepared to appeal this suspension on Jeff's behalf.

Edit: didn't realize the ability to embed tweets had disappeared. This is per Marc Stein:

NBA Players Association's Michele Roberts blasts 24-game ban meted out to Charlotte's Jeffrey Taylor and says union "stands ready" to appeal

 

NBA Players Association, though, is leaving ultimate decision on whether to appeal through an independent arbitrator to Taylor and his reps

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
