Will the 9er's even have a DL this year?

Exactly… ink’s not even dry on Goodell’s signature of the letter he sent to the NFLPA and he’s going to be tested on the Ray Rice rule…

Plus, reports are that the victim was both CHOKED and is PREGNANT.

It’s like the guy wanted to throw his entire football career away as fast as possible.

Then… add to that that Donte Whitner told a reporter that Harbaugh had one rule… players could do ANYTHING and he’d forgive them and they’d talk it out… EXCEPT put their hands on a woman. Do that and they’re gone.

So, McDonald is in deep with the league and his HC….

Actually, that minimum has to be 6 PLUS. We don’t even know what the PLUS is…

It’s the six games…PLUS he choked the woman…PLUS she is pregnant. We don’t know how much those escalators (for lack of a better word, I just used contract language. It’s harsh, but works in context and I’m sorry for that) will add. Will it double the suspension to 12 games? Will it treble them in essence turning into a season ban? Will each “only” be worth an additional game?

I bet each escalator will be significant, much like “aggravated” significantly augments penalties in the legal system… like how there’s assault and aggravated assault.

That, coupled with the fact that the ink isn’t even dry on the Commissioner’s letter and I expect that with all eyes on Roger Goodell, he’s going to fall on Ray McDonald like a ELE comet (Extinction Level Event). The kind that they don’t even measure in megatons because the numbers are too big… they use gigatons or petatons… or just… we all gonna DIE.

there’s reports of physical evidence. Bruising on her arms and neck indicating corroboration of choking.

he’ll still probably walk…ya know…the power of money and all, but there’s enough evidence if the reports are true that the Commish will smash him to show he means business under the new guidelines.
