an absolute disgraceful showing in Cleveland by one of the most promising and talented players of his generation. Anxious to see what the NFL does. Needs to be a season long suspension.
Myles Garret the most egregious play in NFL history

Should be suspended for the balance of the season.
Local authority/ies may press assault charges.

Alot to unpack for this incident:
1.Garrett at minimum will get the rest of the season & lose millions of dollars in pay & endorsements.
2.Hope the media wont let Rudolph off the hook for his role in all that.
3.If people want to throw out Garrett should be charged with assault then law enforcement needs to round up every pitcher, catcher, manager who ordered or intentionally threw a 90 mph baseball at another player. Those acts can kill as well. Same goes for hockey fights.
Charged for assault, yes extreme. Suspended for the season, not very extreme. He ripped the guy's helmet off and hit him in the head with it. Ive never seen anything in football that bad. Its dirtiest play I've ever seen
Extreme ?
So instead of a glancing blow, it was to the temple and Mason died you wouldn’t suspend him for the season and charge him criminally. ?
Sorry brother, it happened late last night. It's everywhere man it was on every morning talk show. I'll remover to put a link though my bad
Rudolph actions were in response to being drug down after he released the ball, should have been roughing the passer firstly. Garret continues the play so Rudolph pulls on his helmet, have we not seen that before? Seems justified when your getting thrown like a rag doll, guys defending himself
Sounds like you are justifying this crap because they throw at each other in baseball. I would have rather the Steelers would have beat his ass to a pulp. No excuse for what he did.
Browns are turning into the Bengals..... dirty players... other players only care about what cleats they'll wear and how many commercials they'll be on. I look forward to karma getting these guys back... possibly in the form of two broken baker legs in a couple weeks.
Ya, if you have not seen the video yet.... crawl out from under the rock you are living under.
I love the tough, physical football played in the AFC North, but all of this nonsense has to end. If you are the GM or owner of the Browns, how can you keep Freddie Kitchens? To me this is the straw that breaks the camels back, but who knows.
Well I believe there is precedent in the nhl for assault if memory serves they got a guy on assault for violently using the stick to bludgeon in a fight. Also, hard to always judge intent in baseball though I grant in many cases you can tell when a guy is thrown at, in this case intent is clear.
Id support suspension for the season and six games next year with the expectation that the players union will attempt to bargain down. I’d not blame anyone for pressing charges on assault as well I think it’s appropriate here.
This does bring up an interesting point on the players union, when will they defend the victims in these cases as hard as they defend the player perpetrating the act?
A simple google search turns up Marty mcsorly who was found guilty but avoided jail time.

I think he gets suspended until this same week of the season in 2020. Effectively a full 17 week season. It will be interesting to see if the NFLPA supports him or files an appeal on his behalf. That's pretty standard procedure, but is it standard when the guy he basically assaulted was also a member of the NFLPA?
ya..... it is a full circle for the NFLPA. On one hand you dont want your player getting an egregious suspension.... on the other hand you need to protect your other clients and make sure the suspension is harsh enough to thwart anyone else from doing it again.
Hypothetically: What if the NFL comes out with some sort of low suspension/fine.... say 4 games? Does the NFLPA fight for Rudolph and appeal for more games?
He was out of hockey for a few years, correct..?
A similar penalty should apply here, the remainder of ‘19 and the full ‘20season.
I would also drug test the guy asap, he went full Alzado!
I would certainly hope that the NFLPA has the sense enough to know which side of the aisle they need to be on here. Now I can see them challenging a life long ban, granted unlikely, but It would be a horrible look to even fight the NFL on this one, at least I would think.
Garrett will likely escape charges because like in most bean ball/hockey fights situations no one was seriously hurt. As for Rudolph he is no victim here. He repeatedly ask for this fight. He is just as big a punk as Garrett in all this.
One issue this incident brings up is whether or not garbage time should be eliminated from games. This thing happened with a few seconds left in a two score game.
IMO, the refs up in the booth should have the option to notify the teams when they believe a game is 100% decided. If both coaches agree to be done, the game is over.

Probably the stupidest thing I will read all day........ and that is impressive because I am on this forum which routinely puts out a lot of very stupid takes.
Photo to the left, could be. Photo to the right not even close. Watch the replay, not even close.
He is the victim. 100%. His actions aren’t excusable but in the realm of altercation. Swinging a helmet at a head is assault and takes an on field fight to another level in the realm of intent to assault with a weapon. Stop with this who started it crap.
they have to appeal any suspension or they could be charged with malfeasance. more procedure than anything.
That's an interesting situation. I doubt that the NFLPA would do anything or say anything if he got 4 games. The public would go ape$hit though. I would say, at a minimum, he's done for the year. If he hits Rudolph with a different part of that helmet, he could have killed him. That's not going to be taken lightly.
Rudolph starts the fights by trying to rip Garrett helmet off & kicks Garrett in the his nuts with cleats on when Garrett retaliates. Then the fight is over & Garrett is being restrained by 2 Steelers lineman. Rudolph then Charges Garrett swings on him and punches him in the nuts. Only a f'ing moron like yourself can blame this all on Garrett.
Your read on this altercation is off entirely but keep “yes but”ing this. Myles was the only one to escalate this from run of the mill fight where both parties are involved, to assault with weapon. You should just stop now but I’m sure you won’t.
Never said Garrett shouldnt be suspended but im not clutching my pearls in horror that he should be charged with assault either.
Ok.... so I am an 'f'ing moron' for thinking that the guy who slammed a helmet over someones head is more responsible and more of a punk than the guy who half-assed kicked and pulled on a helmet....? Take a step back, and re-watch the tape dude..... Not saying Rudolph is innocent but if you really think they are equally guilty..... you are just dead ass wrong. It is literally being called the dirtiest play in the NFL history and you think Rudolph is equally guilty..... GTFO. I would take it you are a Browns fan? If that is the case, I am sorry.... as the Browns are the biggest joke of a franchise ever and their biggest win in like 30 years (over a 3rd string Steelers team) is completely ruined by this clowns actions.
If we met on a street and I gave you a slight push on the shoulder..... and you retaliate by curb stomping me... would we both be equally guilty in your mind?
