Holy Shit Myles Garrett is About to Get Suspended
November 15th, 2019 at 12:35 AM ^
What the hell are you talking about?? Cleveland played a completely dirty game from start to finish!!!!!! The Steelers didn't bring this on!!!! Get the Fuck outta here.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:40 AM ^
They cant have a downfall without first reaching the heights and your joke franchise just wallows in mediocrity forever. Way to turn the highlight of the season, a big win over a rival, into this Cleveland.
But after reading your take it appears after Bosa sacked Mayfield at the end of the game he shoulda pulled off Baker's helmet and clocked him with it. Because Baker started it with the flag at the Shoe.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:45 AM ^
Eagles fan actually so don't care about Cleveland (LOL) or Pittsburgh (lol).
November 15th, 2019 at 12:59 AM ^
Damn. My sincere apology for calling you a Browns fan. Probably made you want to hit me in the head with a helmet.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:02 AM ^
Calling one a Browns fan is offensive, but not helmet hitting worthy. That would only be the case if you were to call me a Bills or Bengals fan.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:34 AM ^
Your Caps lock key is stuck.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:42 AM ^
QB should not be trying to rip off the helmet of a d-lineman. Rudolph was frustrated and instigated the situation.
Garrett lost his shit and will be villainized as “the worst guy ever”, but a lot happened on that play to lead up to his idiocy.
Outrage culture will paint Garrett as a lunAtic, but he’s just a dude that absolutely lost his cool at the wrong place and time. Maybe he deserves to be suspended for the rest of the year; but people calling this assault, criminal, etc are absurd.
I doubt Rudolph will try ripping off a d-lineman’s helmet again
November 15th, 2019 at 12:46 AM ^
people apparently don't watch the NHL where criminal assault is cheered by the crowds. Kinda wonky really.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:48 AM ^
Exactly. What Garrett did was just a Tuesday night at your local hockey rink.
November 15th, 2019 at 4:58 AM ^
No, not really. They are hitting each other with fists, not helmets. The exceptions like Bertuzzi end up in long suspensions.
November 15th, 2019 at 6:19 AM ^
You guys are made for each other. You should get together.
November 15th, 2019 at 2:15 AM ^
Hockey players who fight each other typically have a great amount of respect for each other. They both know when it's over. If a hockey player ripped off the other guy's helmet and used it as a weapon, you'd see the entire bench clear.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:38 PM ^
makes sense.... the NHL "does it" so it must be ok
November 15th, 2019 at 12:53 AM ^
What Myles did was idiotic but Mason lost his cool too! It “wasn’t the worst thing ever” as I stated earlier, wasn’t even the worst thing I saw tonight. Burfict’s hit on AB a few years ago was much worse. I also saw Haynesworth stomp on a helmet-less players face with his cleats. Ppl often overreact in the moment with hot takes. This was a scrum that got out of hand. Criminal charges do not need to be filed and Garrett should play again after a few game suspension.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:03 AM ^
Yeah, we don''t need criminal charges. And long suspension, yeah.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:57 AM ^
And a lot happened in this game that probabaly lead up to Rudolph's frustration, such as watching two receivers leave the game with concussions after helmet to helmet hits, and getting driven to the ground on a final, meaningless play after getting his own helmet to helmet hit earlier in the game.
Mason Rudolph should not have grabbed at Garrett's helmet and that is in no way an excuse to rip of a guys helmet and swing it at his head.
November 15th, 2019 at 9:43 AM ^
Rest of what you said might be true (I didn't watch the game). But in looking at the replay clip, I'm not buying the driven to the ground thing. He landed on top of Garett. Was he pulled down late, sure, but he was pulled down not driven into the ground.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:06 AM ^
You're an optimist. I don't think anyone involved will learn anything--Garrett's too hotheaded to, Pouncey will be told by everyone he respects that he did the right thing, Rudolph's a completely unharmed victim.
November 15th, 2019 at 12:57 AM ^
Closest thing to Malice at the Palace I've seen on a football field-- just waiting for the crowd to get involved and semi-surprised they didn't. Garrett is straight up Ron Artest in pads.
Browns were headhunting all night. Ju-Ju was knocked out with stereo-sound helmet-to-helmet shots from both sides. Dontae Johnson knocked out with textbook targeting that looked like it made his brain bleed out his earhole.
Just light the lake on fire (again) and dump this tire-fire of a franchise into it once and for all. Worst thing the NFL ever did was put a franchise back in that town.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:00 AM ^
Bengals-Steelers was a lot worse. Jesus the exaggerations are something tonight.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:02 AM ^
I didn’t watch the game but saw some stats as I followed with FF app. I think that play where SS was knocked out there was a fifteen yard penalty. But it wasn’t for that helmet to helmet, it was for a different one on the qb.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:17 AM ^
There was nothing to call on the SS hit--three guys colliding, all with their heads up looking at the ball, Smith-Schuster's head bounced off one helmet and into the other. That's going to happen as long as there's football.
The Randall hit was a completely different kettle of fish. That was brutal and with intent.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:14 AM ^
Fun Fact:
The day after the Malice @ the Palace, Clemson and South Carolina played a game where an incident happened and benches cleared and brawls ensued. That was a much worse look than this incident.
November 15th, 2019 at 4:59 AM ^
Did they hit each other with helmets?
November 15th, 2019 at 6:16 AM ^
Yup! They were swinging helmets at each other.
November 15th, 2019 at 8:32 AM ^
And a right stomping of a helmetless player lying face down on the turf trying to protect his head with his hands; the state police had to come onto the field to try to restore order.
I don't know how South Carolina handled it but the Clemson players got one-game suspensions, served on a rotating basis in the next season's cupcake games.
----
I'd never listened to the live game broadcast before. "The police were nice--the way those kids was acting they should've sent dogs after 'em." Wow.
November 15th, 2019 at 10:10 AM ^
I watched it once but didn't see any helmet swinging.
That was bad though. But kudos to them for sneaking it in right after MatP so that it got less national attention.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:11 AM ^
You can tell that all the obvious buckeye trash on this board are also Browns fans from this thread
November 15th, 2019 at 8:39 AM ^
The vast majority of front running Buckeye fans are also front running Steeler fans.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:12 AM ^
I'm beginning to think some of the commenters in this thread have been struck with a helmet.
November 15th, 2019 at 6:03 AM ^
Or should wear one.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:18 AM ^
Myles Garret acted like a caricature of a roided out villain of a cheesy movie.
And Mason Rudolph acted like the idiot from the “HOW CAN SHE SLAP” video.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:23 AM ^
Humans have been doing this shit since recorded time. It will never change.
November 15th, 2019 at 6:32 AM ^
There were no helmets back then. But establishing dominance was happening way before talking monkeys came along.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:32 AM ^
It's wild to see so many players and journalists say they've never seen anything like it. Miami-FIU? Antonio Smith - Richie Incognito?
November 15th, 2019 at 6:45 AM ^
Don 't forget the godfather, Lyle Alzado. There has been an Alzado helmet rule in place since '83.
November 15th, 2019 at 8:44 AM ^
I'm trying to understand that too. I'm sure none of those players or journalists were actually watching Miami/FIU--who was?--but you'd think they'd have heard about it. Or Clemson/South Carolina a couple of years before.
November 15th, 2019 at 10:11 AM ^
The difference is Smith missed.
November 15th, 2019 at 10:55 AM ^
There wasn't much contact here either to be honest. The people calling for criminal charges or a lifetime ban are basing it on the swing, not on any injury to Rudolph.
November 15th, 2019 at 1:35 AM ^
Shit that was nuts. I mean Rudolph is a damn fool but shit. Does Garrett have CTE? maybe he should stop playing football altogether.
November 15th, 2019 at 2:12 AM ^
Yikes, you can't do that! This doesn't make Garrett a terrible person, but he needs to be done for the season. I understand what Pouncey was thinking, but he should miss some time too. What a mess.
November 15th, 2019 at 2:25 AM ^
The Pouncey brothers are nuts. He is lucky that he didn’t try to retaliate more and physically harm him.
November 15th, 2019 at 7:40 AM ^
Nuts is an understatement! After reading James Patterson book about Aaron Hernandez, they were nearly as insane at FL. Shows what a developer of character that Pope Urban really is. Amazing how much stink St. Tebow was asked to cover up for that group in terms of public perception of that corrupt program.
November 15th, 2019 at 2:15 AM ^
So I’m guessing Mason and Myles didn’t exchange jerseys after the game ended?
November 15th, 2019 at 2:25 AM ^
No need--they'd already exchanged helmets.
November 15th, 2019 at 5:44 AM ^
The entire division is crazy. None of these teams like each other, and the number of 15-yard penalties in these games far exceeds the norm, or any other division's games.
November 15th, 2019 at 6:53 AM ^
I was horrified when I saw it. For christ's sake he could have killed him. He needs to be suspended for the rest of the year, minimum. We won the damn game and still found a way to embarrass ourselves.
The weirdest part is it was so out of character for Garrett.
Having said that, fuck the Steelers. They have played dirty on the field for decades and they get away with it because "the Steelers just play tough football."
November 15th, 2019 at 6:58 AM ^
Myles Garret..... I totally get it, I am the only guy in the history of hockey to take off my skate and try to stab someone with it
November 15th, 2019 at 8:52 AM ^
But have you ever knocked a guy down, pulled *his* skate off, and tried to stab him with it?
Cheers.
November 15th, 2019 at 7:10 AM ^
Kudos to Rudolphs lineman for taking it to Garret.
