1 Game suspension for Gronkowsk

 

[ALP]

Gronk suspended 1 game

thought a new thread w/ news was worthy instead of ones w/ multiple pages discussing possibility

...i think this suspension will just let the topic drop from the media, so ill take it

No fine? Interesting.

Loss of a game check is effectively a fine.

Cutler in, Gronk out

What's the net result on that?

True but if he successfully appeals it then he gets no fine? If he does successfully appeal it I expect BB will take some action against him in some way.

I think we knew this was coming. Everything "Patriots" takes on a life of it's own. Honestly I'm just happy it's one game so he won't miss Pittsburgh.

 

[Brewskies]

He is lucky he should have gotten at least 2 Games and fine. Why appeal, shut your mouth.

Thinking out loud, is this possible - he appeals, plays vs Miami, then suspension is upheld and he misses Pittsburgh...???? Don't tell me the NFL isn't thinking about doing this if they can...

 

[CISGS]

He needs to just stop talking and take the suspension.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Hopefully Runyan gets ran over by a bus on his way home today I would laugh my ass off if that happened

 

[XLIX]

but... but... the league was going to make sure he missed the Pittsburgh game!!

 

[Pats1989]

Welp...Miami just became a tougher game. Especially with Cutler playing and not Moore.

 

[Kdo5]

Fair enough, let's move on.

Appeals not "heard and decided" by Roger Goodell?

No, the appeal goes through quickly. Miami is up in the air but he's free and clear for Pittsburgh.

A bummer, but with everyone calling for his head, I would just take it and rest up for Pittsburgh. Everyone on the team, including him, can now say the league has ruled and I don't have anything else to say.

Edit - I guess an appeal can't hurt. Based on past precedent, sometimes you get a reduction from a suspension to a fine. On the fence about it though as I thought the punishment would be worse. I want to move on to Miami!
