They made a big push to get her to be league commissioner when Tagliabue retired. 

[Soulstation1]

Browns up 21-0 they haven’t been up 20+ points since Jim Brown ERA 

[Soulstation1]

Browns snap 25 road game losing streak 

That’s 3 seasons of losing every game on the road 

[GA Russell]

I think I saw that that Browns losing streak was the second longest in league history.

[Soulstation1]

Lions had a 26 road game losing 

i believe 

[Scott Dolan]

Lions had 24. 

[Soulstation1]

Ok

I guess the the Lions didn’t lose 26 in a row 2007-10 

[Scott Dolan]

Not according to this, but I now see under closer scrutiny it obviously hasn’t been updated since the early 2000’s.

Goodbye NFL career 

Kareem Hunt 

 

[Scott Dolan]

Unfortunately, we knew this was coming since the offseason when the brief video of him talking to the police after this incident came out. 

Upside for the Chiefs is that they have an excellent plan B to take his place.

I'm sure he will be poison. These guys never learn. 

[Scott Dolan]

Well, let’s be fair here. He’s young, and as far as I know has no history to suggest this is a habitual behavior. 

[Brad]

Being young is no excuse and I don’t believe the lack of habitual conduct should be a factor. I don’t believe Ray Rice engaged in habitual conduct and he never played again. I just saw the video and why he was not arrested is perplexing. Perhaps the woman’s conduct aggravated the situation and was a factor in why he was not arrested. 

At any rate, I think teams may stay away from him.

I think I may not have gotten my point across properly. 

You mentioned he’ll be poison and that “these guys” never learn. IMO, that is a very unfair assessment based on a single known transgression. From the ages of 13-21, I was either locked up, or on probation. 100% fact. I even turned 18 in a state prison in Florida. Now, I never committed a violent crime, but I also regularly heard that I would never learn/change. 

That life for me ended 27 years ago, and I’ve been a law abiding citizen ever since. 

People can, and do, learn. 

[Brad]

I’m glad you turned your life around. 

What I meant is that we are — and have been — dealing with athletes who are pampered from high school on, maybe earlier.  When they are put on a pedestal and allowed to skirt — if not disregard — rules, incidents like these are a logical result.  It would seem that based upon the experiences of others, some of these athletes would realize that they have to abide by the rules that the remainder of society has to observe. 

Fortunately, the numbers of transgressors are small. 

[JSngry]

"these guys" is a dangerous concept in general, even as a conversational gambit (and especially as a rhetorical ploy), but especially if/when "these guys" are people you don't know personally.

[Brad]

On reflection, it was incorrect to engage in generalizations as rule or lawbreaking is endemic in our society, not just athletics, and violence against women is a societal problem.

Pretty Fucking Simple

Don’t put your hands on a women

unless she has a gun pointed at you 

[Scott Dolan]

Not just women.
