Cowherd says the punishment is for the plot, not the actions.....

Sounds about right to me

The punishment is for the plot, not actually carrying out the plot.

Thats not what the NFL says.

I mean, it's an analogy. But I wouldn't say it's a good analogy.

Plotting to kill our nation's leader =/= rewards for hard hits

What do you make of this thought process?

No matter how right on he may be, Coward would have forumlated his response, to whatever punishments were handed down, to be in the most agreeable fashion with the end result.

Had Goodell ordered Vilma to be stoned in public, Coward would have found a way to say Tony Romo's name 3 times, give one shout out to Eli Manning, jacked off one donkey off camera and found a way to justify Vilma's execution.

There were no actions...even with multiple seasons of opportunity.

If your kid is throwing rocks at your head, are you going to wait for him to actually hit you before doing something?

I think what that says is that if it was a plot conjured up and designed by the coaches and not a scheme designed by players (which is what we are told)...then there is essentially no defense for a player

If the players didnt make the plot, and the players didnt participate in the plot and they can still get punished...then they have no defense

Under cowherd's theory...every player should be suspended because the plot was organizational and not something done player to player

It is obvious the player suspensions are based on some type of physical evidence in participation and not just plotting from the sidelines, whether that be through hits or payments...the organization itself was punished for the plot
