NFL Discipline For Taylor

[dmek25]

Here we go, this good news from profootballtalk.com:

'SKINS EXPECT A FINE ONLY FOR TAYLOR

A league source tells us that the Washington Redskins anticipate that safety Sean Taylor's punishment for violating the league's Personal Conduct Policy will be a fine, not a suspension. Under the CBA, the Commissioner has the ability to impose discipline on players who engage in off-field criminal conduct.

Earlier this week, Taylor pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault and misdemeanor battery as part of a resolution of charges that allowed him to avoid felony counts that carries a maximum of 45 years in prison.

The team, we hear, is 90 percent certain that Taylor won't be suspended.

We're also told that, even if Taylor is suspended, the Redskins won't try to recover any of the signing bonus money paid to the fifth overall pick in the 2004 draft.

Thanks for the news. I have been giddy since the verdict and he likely won't get suspended, if he does, 1 - 2 games....that would suck but GW can always make adjustments.....ST will be just fine but Archuletta better step up...either way, we have to be so happy right now that Terry Glenn and TO will be dropping balls over the middle with ST knocking heads off. Amen.

Imagine your favorite bar (or in some peoples cases, steam room) and a bunch of gossipy old farts sitting around making stuff up? Well, that's PFT. Sometimes they get lucky and get a story right-ish. I read it for the East Coast humor.

I sincerely doubt that Tagliabue will take action against Taylor this close to his retirement from the job of commissioner. His replacement, whoever it might be, is going to be very careful his first months in the new job so as not to draw the wrath of management and fans alike and set the media hounds on his trail. I would argue that a light approach, most likely only a fine, would be the most likely result considering the regime change in progress.

calaskin, welcome and is that the official word?

I agree with the previous post saying it's all about NFL image. Taylor has a bad rep in the league and in the sports world, so the league will suspend him to make some kind of point that "even if the courts aren't tough on him, we will be." That wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Whatever. 1 game is better 46 years!

I'd say he's the biggest bonehead in the league right now, but I'd like to see him spit on someone to really run away with the crown.

kind of like solidifying his stranglehold on bonehead of the entire league artmonkdrillz?

exactly, although maybe shoving a ref to the ground would be even better than spitting.
