Y'all have a good ol' time relitigating that one...

Regardless of the circumstances, do you think the NFL is just gonna slap his wrist and let him go? He's gonna get suspended. This wasn't really just a traffic stop.

Oh I've said all along that I figure something will happen. But I've also shown several instances where conduct as bad or worse got 1 game. And nothing remotely close to the 8 games being suggested. I can't even really get to an analogue at 4.

In a fair world, he gets 1 based on established precedent. In a likely world, he gets 2 for being a name player on a marquee franchise. In Goodell's crazy make-believe world of ****ing Clark because he's amenable to it, he gets 4.

But I think it's FAR more likely that he gets zero than it is that he gets more than that.

Because in the end, FELONY or not, leaving the scene of an accident is the charge. And that's a hell of a lot less gnarly from a PR standpoint than some of the 'menacing' charges or firearms charges that guys DO get a slap on the wrist for.

I don't know man. If he gets only a game, the entirety of the NFL is going to have a meltdown because the Chiefs are cheating again. From a PR standpoint, there's a lot for Goodell to gain from throwing a Chief under the bus.

Without getting political, there are certain issues that behooves both parties to argue about more than it does to solve them. They're better served having a bad guy to shout about than they are knocking the bad guy out of commission.

This is one of those instances.

The league is better served having the Chiefs as the big nasty villain and drive conversation than they are cutting the legs out from under said villain and then having little else to discuss out of the AFC.

Nah - The Shield doesn't benefit from gutting the Chiefs. You can sheer a sheep over and over again, you can only skin it once.

Skinning us doesn't do Roger any good.

Yeah, that makes sense.
