2025 Philadelphia Eagles - In evermidnightgreen news: Dallas Goedert has a knee injury, may miss KC game. (41 Viewers)

So lame for the league to say the ejection was his suspension.

Just own it and say he spit on a guy with the game on a national stage and he was ejected but got no suspension.

The internet is worse when people quibble over semantics. That’s what this distinction is.

The NFL engages in word salad all the time, this is just another example of that.

Wrong. He missed a whole game

Yes.

But usually they don't waffle like that.

The league wanted to increase penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct, which they now can without much push back from the NFLPA. The fact that Jalen Carter and the NFLPA didn't appeal the "suspension", the league now has a new precedent that spitting on an opposing player will result in a fine and a 1 game suspension. If the league says that the Carter ejection didn't serve as a "suspension" then the precedent is simply a fine. The league gets what they want by playing the semantical games here.

That’s something I hadn’t thought about, but it makes a lot of sense. Romanowski didn’t get suspended. Neither did TO. Or Sean Taylor. Or Payton Turner.

Would’ve looked pretty shady if Goodell handed out a suspension after clear precedent was in place. This would be a good opportunity to create new precedent.

I think its a rare case of the league doing the smart thing for once by moving on as quickly as possible. This isnt what they want you talking about.

 

[The Noid]

Vic doesn't usually say things he doesn't mean, so him outright saying Adoree Jackson will start again this week isn't great news. Hopefully, he's got a very short leash. Maybe Carter playing and helping disrupt the pocket masks that CB2 weakness a bit, too.

Its over now. If he got suspended it's another week or 2 of talking about it. Good call.
