Judge Sue L. Robinson's decision to suspend Deshaun Watson for six games surfaced in the second-half of Monday's episode of "Good Morning Football," but that was more than enough time for Kyle Brandt to form a strong opinion on the punishment.
Brandt explained why the six-game suspension disappointed him, arguing that Watson engaged in behavior that warranted a much more serious punishment:
This feels like a noteworthy opinion to come out on NFL Network, which is owned by the league, and by extension, a portion belongs to the Browns. Since launching in August of 2016, "Good Morning Football" has received rave reviews, but it's not generally a show that ruffles feathers a ton.
The NFL will have three days to decide whether or not to file an appeal on Robinson's decision. Should the league appeal and argue that six games wasn't a long enough suspension for the sexual misconduct that Watson allegedly engaged in, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell or someone he appoints would oversee the appeal.
