With an appeal, it's not all or nothing. 20 games set the bar high and he'll be lucky to argue it down to 10 games.

Can you cite these suspensions? There are a ton of clips of refs getting clobbered by players and getting nothing because it was deemed an accident. Can't think of any that were suspended.
