On Thursday night, the underdog Cleveland Browns met the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the Browns showed up, beating the Steelers 21-7 in a pretty decisive victory.
That wouldn’t be big news, normally. But at the end of the game, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett got into an altercation unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my decades of watching football. (snip) Where this became far different and more dangerous than your typical football scuffle is that, during the entanglement, Myles Garrett actually reared back and attempted to windmill-tomahawk slam the helmet he was holding on top of Mason Rudolph’s exposed skull with furious gusto.

Don't watch nfl football anymore. But, just imagine if this was white on black. The world would have stopped instantly and calling for the white guy to be neutralized.

Race is not a factor here but if they insist on making it one it is a black on white hate crime.

Garrett should be banned from the NFL for life. I was surprised the Rudolph was still standing after that hit. To make matters worse, another Browns player jumped Rudolph and knocked him down. The whole thing was a dangerous escalation of NFL violence. They don't call it "thugball" for no reason.

It's my understanding that the dude was axed if he was going to Popeye's after the game.

This brings back memories of Charles Martin spiking Jim McMahon to the turf well after the play had ended. But since McMahon was a big mouthed jerk he had it coming apparently. He was never the same.
Why is Adomakin Suh still in the league? Kicking on the throat of a player after the play?

So Pete Rose gets outed for life for gambling and this cretin gets what for at least assault with a weapon and possibly attempted 2nd degree murder ? Haven't seen NFL in over 2 years over the anthem thing and I'm not about to start. Not a fan of these punks.

The problem with officiating led to the fracas, in my opinion. I watched the game, and saw Cleveland defenders mugging Steelers receivers, with the officials ignoring many of the muggings. (The announcers for the game commented on that, several times.)
When Garrett made the late tackle on Rudolph (Rudolph had already passed the ball) and flung Rudolph to the ground, the official was right there, and didn't toss a flag for the penalty. The officials let the game get out of control.
Garrett has a history of playing dirty, and getting away with it.; Even his own quarterback called him out for that. And the Browns have been brawling in practice. The rookie head coach had them running laps as punishment.
Everything bad that has been happening in the NFL goes back to the home office, and the feckless commissioner, Roger Goodell. He has disgraced the game with his ineptitude.

He could have easily killed him with that blow to the head as such I think expulsion is warranted, particularly if he does not face criminal charges, you could not hit someone in the head with a helmet on the street and not get arrested, a football field should be no exception.

Interesting read. This posting is the only way I would have known of this, however.
I truly regret that at one point in my life I felt NFL football was an important enough part of my life to waste hours watching it on weekends. I quit when players started kneeling / sitting during the national anthem.

After Johnny Football and Myles Garrett, maybe Cleveland should put Texas A&M on their 'do not draft from' list. The Browns and Aggies are not a good mix.

Probably on drugs. Should be required to take the pee test and then be expelled from the sport for life.

As a commenter prophesied on the AT site, whatever the NFL/Goodell's decision is on this, it will be wrong. Garret is lucky to be Black. If this were white on Black, the attacker would be massacred in the press and by the NFL. As it was, the racecard was played within minutes of the attack.

So let's review. If Mason Rudulph doesn't initiate pulling Garrett's helmet off and then kicking him in the balls. Garrett wouldn't have ripped off his helmet. Than after the pair are separated by two Steelers players three on one Rudoulph rushes to assault Garrett as he is being restrained by the Others Steelers. If Rudulph didn't engage the helmet swing would never have happened.

As an OK State alumn, I was excited to see a Bedlam pro game between Rudolph and Mayfield. The Brown’s defense rose to the occasion and I changed channels after Rudolph’s last interception in the 4th quarter. That said, Garrett should have left the stadium cuffed in the back of a patrol car. He should have been charged with felonious assault. I don’t envy the Browns when they go to Pittsburgh for a rematch in December.

If anyone is expecting any kind of justice being handed down by the NFL and Roger Goodall, remember there is a demonstration/tryout for Colin Kaepernick in front of representatives of all 32 teams of the League this weekend.
Thugball indeed.

He needs to be permanently OUT of football. But, being black it will probably be OK.

The only time I saw pro-football or basketball was when I was the audio mixer for the broadcasts and was paid to be there. A nice plus was we were fed food that wasn't meant to slop the hogs.

It was a glorious spectacle for anyone who thinks that Pro athletes are anything but animals! Animals with a lot of money...but animals just the same. If Myles had been white and the target had been black...oh my goodness!!! We would have riots in every major city with people running around with football helmets on while they burn their own neighborhood and loot their own stores!!! And ESPN would be telling us it is all understandable!

From what I have been reading elsewhere, Rudolph forgot the cardinal rule of life. Don't start nothing, and there won't be nothing for the target to finish. Rudolph should have kept his mouth and hands to himself. As to race, if Rudolph doesn't get some kind of punishment for yanking on Garrett's helmet, then the NFL deserves the storm that is coming. Just my opinion, based on my reading in several places today.

All eyes? Judging by the reports and the tens of thousands of photos anywhere between a third to half of the stadiums have eyes at all. The NFL deserves to die. When network television dies (and it is), there will be no money to pay the billionaires and millionaires. Maybe when these guys have to get off-season jobs, sanity will come back to the system. Until then, no money from me or millions of others who are fed up with the entire bunch.

There were many despicable moments in that play. Garrett's actions are indefensible It is clear that the Pittsburg QB had his hands in it as well.

The game has always been rough and tumble and a little dangerous, that's what it is. This is pro Ball. Big money on the table. Darn right it gets ugly. I can't fault the gladiators for acting like gladiators. The NFL can make up all the rules they want to make the game "safer" but the rules cannot change nature of the game. People support the game because of its nature. To me, if they change the rules it becomes something else. I think the people who buy the tickets, cable, etc. don't want to watch men flitting around on stage, jumping in the air and making dramatic movements; they go to the ballet for that. They have made movies and wrote books about the dark side of the game, and they do because they know what people like - they want to hear all the dirty details.
I don't condone criminal behavior and I think when a crime occurs the police should make the arrest. Ya just can't make a rule for everything. I wonder what I would do for a shot at a $100 mil?
It is what it is. What % of men that seek glory and riches and are willing to hurt someone that gets in their way? It looks like the guy acted criminally.committed book 'em.

Gage Hulupowski, an Antifa thug in Portland, Oregon was just sentenced to 6 year in prison for hitting a man in the head with a baton. This NFL thug strikes a white quarterback in the head with a helmet, so shouldn't this be considered a hate crime?
