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

No announcement yet.
WTF Garrett went nuts and swung a helmet at Rudolph

Although I doubt Rudolf presses charges, there are clearly ways to charge him criminally ... I was only referring to Garrett benefitting (with a criminal charge or an NFL sanction) from the fact that Rudolf didn't get hurt ... the potential for charging him with attempted this or that notwithstanding.

Didn't a hockey player have charges pressed against him a few years ago. Garrett clearly committed what would be assault (and battery) in almost any other context. 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...Last edited by slag; 11-15-2019, 10:04 AM.

You never know, but I can't see this happening ... the fact that he was lucky and didn't hurt him is ... well, lucky for both of them.
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.

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"

If there was ever a circumstance that an NFL player gets arrested for something on the field, this might be it.
On a side note, every qb needs a friend like #53.
