I wouldn't be surprised if the league hit him with something harder since he has a history of pulling this exact cheap shot.

Colin Cowherd (yeah, he's an idiot) speculated that Bynum would get 5 - 10 games suspended. I'd be surprised if he got 10.

Like I said, Bynum received a 2 game suspension for a play similar to this in which he received a flagrant foul penalty two. If he only got two games for this, I would be shocked as the league could claim he's a repeat offender. Five games, plus say...a $50,000 dollar fine, but losing those five game checks seems like it would be enough for the league (IMO).

Three times in two years...hard to argue he's NOT a repeat offender. I'm not saying the league will treat him as such but I think you get my point.

Mixing up sports there...does that equal an automatic first down?

I can't think of the third time Bynum's been in a situation like this...I only remember reading about the flagrant towards the end of the regular season and this situation. If this is his third time, I could see the suspension being bumped up to the 7-8 game range.

Carefully re-read your OWN post that he was replying to.
