Damn I love that hit on Wilson. Although as usual Wussel isn't injured afterwards.
He should be banned form the NFL.
Nothing another player says should make him react to that level.
Then why are you arguing my point?
Yeah, in the street that's assault so I'm not sure why we would condone it in a stadium setting. Throw the book at the thug.
I'm looking at this from an unbiased view. If I did this, I'd go to prison for assault (in fact, I have been in Garrett's shoes after punching a police officer, and I learned that there's no excuse for this shit.) Why should Garrett deserve any less? Because he makes millions? Because he's a good football player? I just find that to be a poor excuse for him not to have the same consequences that you or I have.
BROWNS FANS ARE SENDING EDIBLE ‘BAGS OF DONGS’ TO STEELERS QB MASON RUDOLPHBrowns Fans Are Sending Edible 'Bags of Dongs' To Steelers QB Mason Rudolph (PICS)
Read “Browns Fans Are Sending Edible 'Bags of Dongs' To Steelers QB Mason Rudolph (PICS) ” and other Cleveland Browns, NFL articles from Total Pro Sports.www.totalprosports.com
Myles Garrett has been taking a bunch of heat for his actions on Thursday Night Football that had him ripping off Mason Rudolph’s helmet and beating him over the head with it. Those actions got him suspended for the remainder of the season.
Browns fans are standing by their guy no matter what, so much so, that many of them decided to fight back against Mason Rudolph, who many believe escalated the fight to begin with.
Browns fans have reportedly been sending Rudolph sending Bags of Dicks and gummy penises straight to the Steeelrs facility for him to chew on.
Interesting discussion.
Im going to partially side with the OP here. While I feel this is way outside the “contact sport” excuse, it certainly pails in comparison to the assaults that occur in the NHL using hockey sticks as weapons.
Some of those incidents have resulted in mind numbing morbid and bloody consequences. In several cases, most notably Marty McSorley being convicted of assault and sentenced to 18 months (suspended by the judge) jail time, these hockey incidents can and do end in criminal proceedings.
The one saving grace here is that no injury took place.
Im with those who think shit like this is gonna happen. This is just a part of life in the NFL and shouldn’t come as a surprise that it occurred. I’m not mad at Garrett and don’t think he’s a dirty player. He got caught in a moment and will regret his action this coming year.
instead of the mob mentality that wants to tar and feather him while perched upon the moral high grounds, I’m more like, “Damn, welp, that’s too bad.”
Except that he didn't.Browns fans are standing by their guy no matter what, so much so, that many of them decided to fight back against Mason Rudolph, who many believe escalated the fight to begin with.
I agree with all that, although i think he should get 16 games(full season) to set the precedent that if you use your helmet as a weapon you get 1 year automatic. It sounds heavy but Rudolph was lucky in this situation. An incident like this simply can't be allowed to happen again.I'm in favor of giving almost everyone at least one second chance. It was out of line but Garrett was not solely at fault.
It was not worse or even as bad as several targeted tackles with force to the head on wide receivers I've seen this year, which is my exception to the second chance principle. If I were Goodell I would put an immediate stop to that by whatever means necessary.
In this case I think the NFL is more concerned about how it looks on tv than with the actual incident.
I would suspend him but not for the whole season. Next time or another time after that is a different story.
