The NFL is probably trying to get their ducks in a row because whatever they decide will be scrutinized all to hell by the media and appealed. It should be as simple as suspending him until further notice, but that's not the world we live in.
In regard to the Jets, as good as he is, I doubt Brown will be the difference in a win or loss for us. He more likely the difference in a clear loss vs. a blowout loss.
Has anyone tried to say that these texts were not confirmed to be from him/photoshopped? Seems someone is always crying about fakes. I would assume he'd have said that by now if they were faked.
