Maybe if it happened in Pittsburgh in an election year for District Attorney..... Not in scenic bucolic Cleveland.

Yes or no - a helmet blow to the unprotected head of a man can kill him?

You’ve definitely never played against hood rats before I take it. If you spent your entire life in New England and played up there, that doesn’t surprise me. I have. That’s something a hood rat does. We used to see stuff like that when we’d play schools down in Belle Glade and Miami. You don’t seem to realize that a helmet blow to the head while the helmet is being swung by someone as big and strong as Garrett could have killed Rudolph or put him into a coma if it had connected full force. This has also been pretty widely condemned by players, and for good reason. That ain’t acting like a snowflake. That’s calling it like it is.

I agree that it probably won’t happen. That said Garrett and Rudolph ended up being lucky that he didn’t connect solidly with the top of Rudolph’s head with that helmet. The whole thing could have been much, much worse. Garrett also tried fir a second swing of the helmet on the way down but a Steelers player blocked it.

I just can’t see any way that Garrett plays again this season.

16 games feels right. If he ever does anything like it again, a ban.

Rudolph won't get anything. He plays for Rooney and the Steelers. Good for Garrett. It's a shame a man can't stand up for himself anymore. He did apologize. 1 game is all he should get.

What Garrett did was wrong to the point that he is a professional and should be able to keep his emotions under control infront of million viewers on the TV.

BUT this little sissy of Rudolph, trying to get Garrett helmet off to start the complete action, going after Garrett like a kid beeing taken his sweets away just to get wracked to cry for the ref like a 12year old girl and than saying he did not do anything?

get the f out of here, you want to fight and go after somebody? than better be ready to fight or being punched, don't look for mommy and daddy to help you out there on the field

So yes Garrett actions are inexcusable but Rudolph has a good portion of the action and should be banned too, just for his unprofessional childish behaviour of starting the fight off because he was clearly frustrated

Did you get any action last night? Asking for a friend.

And secondly, what happened last night? Fell asleep on the couch.

So ... why would Rudolph be trying so aggressively to take Garrett's hemet off? Can't figure that out. Unless he was trying to injure him, which very well could have happened.

Good point. My perspective up until now was that Rudolph at least deserves part of the blame for being the clear instigator (and what Garrett did was technically giving Rudolph a taste of his own medicine). But what Garrett did was way disproportionate to what Rudolph did, and there's no excuse for it.

I have no idea what's going to happen. Albert Haynesworth got five games for his stomp on Andre Gurode in 2006. This is (A) arguably worse, and (B) in the CTE-aware era. OTOH, any discipline can be reduced by one of the former player appeals officers (WR James Thrash, LB Derrick Brooks).
