Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that Jimmy Garoppolo has been suspended for a violation when it does not specify what kind of violation he committed. Secondly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that Garoppolo's suspension could prove costly to the Raiders without providing any context or evidence to support this claim.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several logical fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that sources have told ESPN about Jimmy Garoppolo's suspension without providing any evidence or citation for these sources. Secondly, the author commits a hasty generalization when he states that there is no connection or commitment to Garoppolo with the new coaching staff, based solely on their lack of ties to him from previous seasons. This assumes that they will not consider him as part of their plans moving forward. Thirdly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Garoppolo's suspension could prove costly for the Raiders and his future at QB without providing any context or evidence to support this claim.

Bias
(85%)
The article contains a statement that implies the NFL has strict rules regarding performance enhancing substances. The author then goes on to say that Garoppolo used a prescribed medication without having a valid therapeutic use exemption from the league. This is an example of bias because it suggests that using prescription medications for legitimate medical purposes is somehow wrong or against the NFL's rules, when in fact there are specific guidelines and exceptions for such cases.

The article contains multiple examples of bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes Jimmy Garoppolo by referring to him as a 'rocky' player and the Raiders as having reworked his contract twice due to injuries. This is an example of religious bias, as it implies that Garoppolo's injuries are somehow divine punishment for something he has done wrong.
