nj meadowlands Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Would have to figure if Goodell was going to drop another hammer, he would do it soon. He might also be gun shy given his recent, um... troubles, and wait for his case to resolve itself before rendering some further punishment for the 2016 season. Anyone have any idea or hear anything?

jetscanes331 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Is the legal case still pending? Gotta imagine he'll get at least two games added on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptable Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 They are waiting until after the court decision in Oct. At the conclusion of his real court decision, then 'God'ell will figure out a punishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj meadowlands Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 They are waiting until after the court decision in Oct. At the conclusion of his real court decision, then 'God'ell will figure out a punishment His court date in October is a pre-trial hearing. There will be no "decision" and I doubt any kind of resolution. He could get an adjournment and have this pushed out a few more weeks (or even months) and then technically be eligible to play. In fact, I would bet money that this is what will happen. In that case, Goodell will not have any kind of legal disposition to point to in justifying his punishment. So, he'll have to make a choice.

ylekram Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Is the legal case still pending? Gotta imagine he'll get at least two games added on. when you look at what Richardson allegedly did, it looks bad. but in the eyes of the court, it is nothing more than a glorified speeding ticket. suspended license, a fine, or maybe charitable donation. going to be hard for the commish to lay the hammer down on this one. 1 games suspension at the most. maybe no suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmajet Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Is the legal case still pending? Gotta imagine he'll get at least two games added on. Not sure, didn't a similar situation happen to another player and he got nothing. Once the drug part of the equation was dropped it became a much lesser problem. He could also go the Brady rout. Appeal, then appeal in court. He won't miss another game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 He could also go the Brady rout. Appeal, then appeal in court. He won't miss another game this year. + 1. Nothing in the CBA about what penalties Richardson could face for any of his 4 crimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTownsell1 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I get chills thinking about how good this defense will be when Sheldon comes back. Scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex-n-effect Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 + 1. Nothing in the CBA about what penalties Richardson could face for any of his 4 crimes. Right now the NFL is basically stuck being unable to punish anything without an explicit policy after the way deflategate shook out. If conduct directly related to game play without an explicit policy cannot fall under the detrimental conduct language in the CBA then a joyride during the offseason likely cannot.

JohnnyLV Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I do not think he will get any additional penalty. Richardson will likely plead to some simple traffic violation, do community service and have nothing bad associated with this incident that is bad like drugs or anything.

Ok, if there is not a settlement of the court date in Oct., the decision will get pushed and Sheldon will get punished next year. Look at every decision Goodell has made... He waits until after the legal trial is over. Then makes a decision. So IMO the lawyers will keep delaying the court date until the conclusion of the season.

I agree... but until he pleads Goodell won't touch the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didnt know smoking blunts, doing 140, running from the cops with a loaded gun and 12 year old could result in punishment from the league...

Poor Shelly had no idea what he was doing was against league rules. Simply taking a family car ride that got mildly out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
