    This forum is soft. And nothing about the Steelers players stomping on Garrett's head? And press charges? Are you serious?

    Like, the game is one where a man broke his neck by driving his helmet so hard in to another player. Andre Johnson took off Finnegan's helmet and beat the fuck out of him. What is with this outrage over a glancing hit from a helmet? lol

    Word. What's nuts is, what Pouncey did, when you take out the fact that Garrett still had his helmet on, was just as bad. He tried to stomp on his head. I think they play each other again in a few weeks. Hopefully all of the Steelers WR's are out of concussion protocol.

    Edit to add: tossed means for the year period !

    My God! It looked like a Popeyes Chicken parking lot out there.

Shoot, not knowing Ohio's criminal statutes, you could make a case for aggravated assault. That's where the "could have" may come into play, right? I've been out of the game for a while so I may be off...

    If you get pissed at a guy and throw a rock ... it's a lesser assault charge if it grazes him, than a manslaughter case if it hits him in a way that kills him. Just the way it works. And the player's association is not going to let the NFL treat this as if Rudolph died.

    That can never happen again. NFL needs to ban him for life and Rudolph should press charges. Look at it this way, if the helmet hit him in a different spot and killed him Garrett would have been arrested at the stadium and the NFL would have already announced the ban. The fact that Rudolph “got lucky” and emerged unscathed should have no impact on the punishment the league doles out.

    The first things I thought after processing the basic WTF moment:

    1) What would the national response be if an Eagles player did that?
    2) So much for Derek Barnett's short stint as a "dirty player"
    I know WIP is in the business of stirring shit but manufacturing a question about whether the Eagles Oline would back up Wentz if a DE hit him in the head with his fucking helmet is, frankly, stupider than usual for those guys.

    If there was ever a circumstance that an NFL player gets arrested for something on the field, this might be it.
    I went to bed after Cleveland scored again. Holy crap. That's insane. He'll be fortunate if his only punishment comes from the NFL.

    On a side note, every qb needs a friend like #53.

    Obviously. That was insane. Rudolph is lucky it wasn't the crown of the helmet that came down on him because he could easily have been knocked out for the 2nd time this year.
