In the wake of Cleveland’s Myles Garrett ripping the helmet off of Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph and hitting him in the head with it, the 23-year-old defensive end was hit with a historic suspension by the NFL and may face additional discipline off the field.

With 10 games already in the books for the 4-6 Browns, Garrett, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 draft, has six games left to play this season.

I could give a rat's behind about what goes on in the NFL, but that is actually pretty interesting. You can take the thug out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the thug.

At a minimum of six games, this is the longest suspension the NFL has ever handed down for a single on-field incident, eclipsing the five games ex-Tennessee Titans lineman Albert Haynesworth received for ripping the helmet off Dallas center Andre Gurode and stomping his face in 2006.
Heh. Sometimes evolution will only take you so far.
Like millions of other annoyed fans I shined on the NFL for almost two seasons. Quit watching, completely.
Had enough of Colon Pooperscoop etc. and besides, the NFL is a dirty, crappy organization and has been for at least a decade, likely far longer.
ESPN also took it in their NFL bloomers and they've never recovered either.
Truth is I still despise the NFL and always will but I enjoy football on Sunday afternoons and Monday nights. College ball is great but I always liked the the NFL vibe, since I was about eight years old.
The league recently got some of its act together and seemingly locked the commissioner in an outhouse somewhere, which certainly helped. They also managed to regain control of most (not all) of their morons and I like having the Rams back in Los Angeles, so I've been watching this season.
Now, I'm not so sure I'll stick around. Doesn't matter to me if all the feral thugs in the NFL sneak Glocks onto the field and shoot themselves to death; I just prefer to not be a part of it.
Why? For the same reason I don't watch idiot box news. I refuse to be a fool.
And it's not only because of gangsters like Myles Garrett and all the others; they've been around for years.
The players will likely strike after the 2020 season. They might have good reason but that's not the point, for me at least.
The thing is I don't hang around with stupid people. I avoid letting them in my house.
So that's that for the NFL, again.
As always, I can find plenty to do on Sundays and Mondays.

Evan Bleier's social justice warrior creds are showing. In last graph he posits that maybe the dude who got his head smashed should be suspended too essentially since he fought back. Play was ended, whistle was blown and this cretin, Myles, continues to pummel him. Hope they bring assault charges against him. They don't call it the National Felons League for nothing. If you or I were playing in a softball game and were hit by a fast pitch and headed to the mound swinging our batting helmet we would be arrested for assault and rightfully so. Myles should be banned for life and go through the football to prison pipeline like OJ, Villanueva.... Sounds like Roid rage to me.

Don't all these guys have college degrees in Communications? It appears what we got here is a failure to communicate.

All-around stupid behavior. Had Rudolph not come back for whatever, he wouldn't have gotten clubbed. There is a bit of contributory stupidity there on his part. Everyone involved should serve punishment. I'll also bet the union makes any legal threats go away.

This is another reason that I no longer watch NFL. Immature Millennials have infiltrated the system. Many have a lack of self-control and emotional maturity to handle the game.

I also think the NFL Commissioner's office should be suspended for 6 games, or more.

I watched some of the game. I missed the end and Garrett's disgraceful behavior. I did not watch last year because of the un-American thugs who disrespected the National Anthem. I guess it is time to do more productive things on Sundays and Thursdays. I don't need to be entertained by idiots with less self-control than your average two-year-old.

I played football, many decades ago - in my h.s. freshman year, I wore a leather helmet, that's how long ago it was! And we played in a single wing formation, good only for running backwards andf punting, according to my friend's father.
I learned, early on, how to be sneakily dirty. as an offensive guard, middle linebacker, sometimes center, I could incite an opponent to violence, thus eliciting a penalty on him. And I was usually able to gewt away with it.
If you look closely at the video, Mason Rudolph, when taken down by Garrett, is trying to rip off Garrett's helmet. That, I would suggest, is the proximate cause of the brawl.
I salute Rudolph for his sneakiness. He has a future in the NFL. But the video probably will cause him to be fined, and perhaps suspended for a game.
Garrett, on the other hand, will lose millions of salary dollars. And he may become unemployable. Unless the Ravens hire him.

Some NFL journalists have come up with an alternate narrative where Rudolph is partially responsible basically because he defended himself against Garrett's late hit. This all goes to show how the NFL has declined over the last few years. The Browns will continue to be the historically worst team in the entire NFL. The Steelers will continue to decline because of poor players and poor coaching and poor drafting. Garrett should be thrown out of the NFL, but will likely be back next year.

He should be finished in football. Of course he trotted out the “that sort of behavior is not like me” apology but obviously that behavior is exactly like him. He should be banned.

So he should call up Kapernick or whatever his name is. Then the should find some rich MAD (middle age drunk) backers and start the PFL. Punk Football League. Any TV network that won't broadcast it is obviously racist. Maybe they can take the pads off and compete with the "Mixed Martial Arts" folks for blood sport lovers.

I asked my wife when we saw this, "When does this go from a game to a criminal assault where you call the police?"
Sounds like we are pretty much there. Assault with a deadly weapon, it would seem from the video.

Definitely assault with a deadly weapon. Are dems going to call for a ban on assault helmets?

Garret should never be allowed to play any professional sport again. I hope he loses a ton of money.
They had to come down hard on this guy and stick with it. The fans are deserting the game. Football as I recall will never be the same. The NFL has spoiled these big babies and now look what's happened.
Near empty stadiums, money down the drain and people at home not tuning in anymore.
Bring on the lawsuits, Randolph.....

I don't watch nfl because of that dip stick who started kneeling and disrespecting our flag, country and military. And with all the concern about concussions etc, I can't believe the powers that be didn't boot that guy for good. Guess the nfl only has selective outrage.

Myles Garrett should be criminally prosecuted and be banned for a lifetime from of NFL. This thug needs to pay the price now and forever.

He committed felonious assault with a deadly weapon , he could have easily killed that guy and all those spineless gutless she-males inn the NFL front office gave him a six gamer suspension?
He should have been ban for life and be being booked in to the county lockup.

What happened was an aggravated assault that is a criminal felony. In that respect the county attorney does not need a complaint from the victim, and he could take the video of the incident before a grand jury and get the perpetrator indicted. Following that the criminal justice system swings into action.

Today, NFL and the team owners can't discipline the players while they're HIRED and paid millions. I switched to watching RUGBY. Every team and players are well disciplined, gentleman, patriotic and respects the flag while the national anthems are played. .....and they don't have a helmet to assault an opposing player.
