National Felon League season off to good start
2019-11-15
CLEVELAND (AP) ‐ The Browns were seconds away from a season-changing win when Myles Garrett lost his composure in a moment of rage rarely seen on an NFL field.
I'm sure our pink salmon Moderator was really proud...until this crap happened. Browns outplayed them
Garrett tore off Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph’s helmet, wildly swung it and hit the QB in the head, a shocking act that will likely result in a lengthy suspension for Cleveland’s star defensive end and perhaps cost the Browns any chance of making the playoffs.

Garrett’s outburst came with 8 seconds left in Cleveland’s 21-7 win over the rival Steelers on Thursday night, a game that will not be remembered for anything that happened in the first 59 minutes.

Garrett faces a stiff NFL suspension and Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey will likely be disciplined for kicking Garrett in the head.
One can be certain some gentlemanly on-field discussions proceeded this most unfortunate scuffle.
As is so often the case, we are not privy to the discourse.

#10  That Name, or Made a Yo Momma joke, so racism and Rudolph deserved it; which is one of the most passive-racist things I've heard on TV - and from that skinny scrawling voice of a white dude.

Must of been secondhand information from a whistle blower.

#9  wildly swung

Poor writing. The helmet was removed and swung with strong purpose.

will not be remembered for anything that happened in the first 59 minutes.

The whole game was chippy. That a fight broke out is unsurprising. One of the morning bobbleheads implied Garret lost it because the quarterback called him That Name, or Made a Yo Momma joke, so racism and Rudolph deserved it; which is one of the most passive-racist things I've heard on TV - and from that skinny scrawling voice of a white dude.

#7  I'm reaching the point where I'll only watch pro football if the losing team leaves the field in body bags. They are worthless scum and criminals. We should treat them like it. No tax subsidies for these freaks. In fact, they should PAY IT ALL BACK.

#5  Frank, agree there a two sides to a story, but grabbing off a qbs helmet and going all Popeyes Chicken on his unprotected head?

#4  I haven't watched the No Firearms League for years. When they stop worrying about my constitutional rights and clean up their own act, I still won't watch.

#3  Rudolph's no saint here, he was grabbing and pushing Garrett's facemask while on the ground, too... and Pouncey's a thug
