POLL: What Was The Worst On the Field Act?

[mgteich]

THIS. How many games did Tatum get??!! That's why this Garett outrage is ridiculous.

I guess that you would have murder be no longer illegal, because someone got away with murder 40 years ago?

Haynsworth was suspended for 5 games. Certainly, the league's penalties have become more severe as the league tries to protect the health of players. So, the rest for season doesn't seem to be too long.

Garrett-Rudolph fight invokes memories of other helmet incidents, Cowboys involved

I almost never post "disagree" since so many consider this an almost personal attack, and to be left for very strong objections.

This different. Garrett shouldn't play for the rest of the season. And the union shouldn't fight a long suspension. Finally, if there is a one game suspension, this would be a real travesty. This would allow Garrett to play another game against PITT later this year. F

I was talking about pouncey not Garrett. Garrett deserves much worse

Didn't Howie Long hit Patrick Sullivan with a helmet after a playoff game back in the day

I forgot about this one. You could pretty much do anything you wanted to back in the day.

Howie Long sure enjoyed the roid rage during his playing career.

Charles Martin body slamming Jim McMahon was brutal.

Gronk's People's Elbow wasn't his finest moment.

Dino Ciccirelli using his stick like a samurai sword.

Don't forget Joe Turkey Jones vs Terry Bradshaw.

Call me crazy but I think the scariest play of the night was the Steelers WR who was bleeding out his ear. I think that cheap shot should be getting more play.

I'm not so sure how cheap those shots were...looked like more of a wrong place wrong time thing.

Yep, things were different alright. I remember that well, Pat Sullivan was such a little douche. What's a GM doing getting in the grill of a player after a game? Just another entry in the long list of Sullivan embarrassments. It wasn't always easy being a fan of this team.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

But I had forgotten it was actually Howie Long who had drawn Patty's ire.

Maroon 5 halftime show has to be up there.

 

[Richard Camembert]

Todd Bertuzzi hit on Steve Moore—knocked him out from behind then slammed his face to the ice.
Marichal hitting Roseboro with a bat was pretty horrid.

Haynesworth=Suh, huge talents with terrible character.

Football has so many vicious acts it’s hard to sort them out, though. Cut blocks. Helmet to helmet hits. TJ Ward. Jack Tatum who was
unapologetic to the end. The game is physical as it is and then you have the outlier players who want to hurt people. Many of these events are far worse than the Garrett thing, where two players were fighting after a long game and each of them got out of hand but the visual is especially extravagant despite that nobody was hurt. Kind of surprised it doesn’t happen more often. Meanwhile, e.g., Philip Dorsett just got concussed on a routine looking hit today after the play was totally over, and there is no outcry.

Let’s not forget the several off the field soccer riots in which dozens have been killed in stadiums.

Bill Romanowski spitting in JJ Stokes face was not quite up there but certainly got a lot of attention. I remember some players tried to make it to be about race which was pathetic. Stokes was talking **** up in his face and Bill just let one fly.

 

[Patstastic]

Trotting out Marshall Newhouse as the GOAT's left tackle has to be up there. In all seriousness, I'd have to say the Tatum hit. I had to do research on it as it was way before my time. But not only did he paralyze a man. He never even had the decency to apologize.
