Ok... Im confused now. Is it a 4 game and then a 10 game or is the 4 part of the 10. Or am I imagining a 4 game something or another....

He got four. Then another ten. That means his earliest eligibility is week fifteen.

This whole process with him has confused the crap out of me. But basically I have the same question. Or is is 10 starting week 3? Essentially meaning that he wasted these first 2 games by having an appeal pending? I would love me some clarification.

Which is weird, because I have never in my history of following the NFL seen suspensions get stacked like that. Mainly because it's never happened before.

So is the rule that suspension don't run concurrent? Just curious.
Apparently, it's at the discretion of the commish. Which, again, I have never heard of. Maybe it's something new, but it's stupid.

Not sure why he would drop the appeal if he literally got zero benefit for himself? That's like one of my clients taking a plea deal for the max sentence. What is the motivation in that?

Not real sure. Just a weird situation all around.

You don't know what else was on the table. Maybe even not fighting helps out with brownie points for the future, who knows?

So Le'Veon Bell gets to come back in Week 4, and Gregory can't come back until Week 16? Where is the logic in that? Why the hell would Gregory drop the appeal when his punishment (for a second offense) is basically unprecedented? Didn't Josh Gordon end up missing only 10 games total in 2014 for like his fourth offense? Does Goodell just arbitrarily pull a number out of his hat when it comes to drug suspensions?

What do those brownie points get him? I'm sure he will get a season long suspension if there is another issue. It's why I would have thought the brownie points would have at least bought him week 10 of the season to be back.

Yeah, like reducing L'veon Bells from 4 to 3 games. Which also means Bell's next failed test doesn't become a mandatory 10 game suspension but just another 4 games which the commish can reduce again at his discretion. The system is broken.

Funny how teams like the Steelers and giants always seem to get the benefit of the doubt.

The rule regarding suspensions seems to be "whatever the hell Roger Gooddell says it is".
