Kamara pleads no contest to misdemeanor charge

It's going to be interesting to see if all that “Goodell hate” follows him to Denver.

Edit
I'm sure Guido is scripting some contrary post as I write this edit but it does make you think

It's because we switched our vote to help Goodell's Thursday Night flex scheduling plan go through. The Jets stayed a No on Goodell's plan. We got Kamara back early. They got Hard Knocks. Quid pro quo. It's possible Goodell will act more favorably to us now that we made peace, but at the same time we are getting cozy with Grude who is public enemy #1, so I am not sure how all that will play out. Lets hope we get more favorable treatment on suspensions and scheduling going forward.

Besides Goodell though, there are also the refs. To some degree I think the refs take subtle queues from Goodell if they want promotions to head of officiating etc, but at the same time I think the refs have their own grudges. Unfortunately, making a deal with Goodell on Thursday Night flex is unlikely to totally solve the refs grudes against us for not respecting their authority in 2018 and booing them a lot since then.

Interesting thought Bako. And certainly not out of the realm of possibilities.

However, he doesn't have millions of dollars at stake. His paycheck doesn't depend upon his response at all. But, I get it. I think I know where you're coming from.

By the way, I'll refrain from "attacking" you if you refrain from the name calling. You are better than that, Boston.

I guess you are.
