posted by AutomatikNo doubt the Browns were head hunting. I’m not crying about it. They’ve been getting beat on for decades. I like seeing some spice back in the “rivalry.”
Agree
Next game against the Steelers has been moved to 1 PM. They do not want any part of that brawl taking place at night or in a time slot where a lot of fans will see it!
posted by like_thatI forgot about the rapist doing this, good call. Any Steelers fan crying about this needs to GTFO. Considering the league history, I also find it bullshit the suspension is indefinite. It should have been 4 games max. The media has made this worse than it is.
In 2013 I think someone ripped off Incognito’s helmet and swung it at him appearing to graze his face.....only got 1 game. I know the league is softer 6 years later and things have changed for “safety”
I don’t care if he plays Sunday but if he does I’ll need to avoid social media because it’s brutal, almost overshadowed that screaming lady/cat meme.

It’s going to be hard to watch. I can see the macho bullshit stuff now. I’ll go 5.5 on the over/under personal fouls.

The meme that set a new speed record for going from cool to WAY over-done!
One day I'd see 2-3 of that meme online; the next, it seemed like I'd see 20 of them over a 25-post stretch. With only about 1/2 to 2/3 of them actually being accurate uses of the meme and the rest being dipshits taking something they thought was funny and simply throwing it on that meme.
Yeah, heard Goodell on a podcast. This isn't getting reduced. Basically sounds like he's expecting Garrett to apologize, saying it's ALL his fault (not mentioning Rudolph did anything) and then he MIGHT be reinstated for 2020.

Lol that’s dumb

I think we all know that Goodell makes shit up as he goes along.
Tomlin, LOL...GTFO
Tomlin is definitely making himself look like a moronic dickbag with how he has handled the media over this.
I was just happy that I made it out of there in one piece. I have been to at least 8-10 steeler games in my life and never felt in danger. I guess the increased expectations or the fact that we’re were sitting in the 500 level might have made a difference. Did meet some cool fans tho in my row and before the game
The ruling is in on Myles. Supposed to be announced today. BSPN reporting racial slur was used according to the OBR.

Browns fan here, think Mason deserved it in general, but don't buy the racial slur.
Shocking revelation...a week later.

Here's what's interesting about this. Myles was scheduled for a sit down interview to talk about this on Sunday and the Browns stopped him (maybe the Browns wanted this to wait until the appeal hearing). Suddenly, Rudolph is reading a canned/scripted apology a few days later. Don't really see too many of his black teammates having his back right now. There is supposedly audio out (perhaps Steelers know it and trying to do damage control with the fake Rudolph "apology") there of a racial slur but I don't think it's the N Bomb.
Because nothing says "LEGIT COMPLAINT" quite like an athlete facing being suspended until the commissioner's whims state otherwise deciding a week after the fact to disclose he was the victim of a racial slur despite no one with any connection to what was happening on the field saying anything about that after the game or when the punishments were being handed down!
I think the indefinite suspension is bullshit, but I also don't buy the racial slur. I jokingly told my friends if he should accuse Mason of dropping a racial slur, so he would have his suspension reduced by 75%.
I think it will be for the remainder of the season and that's it. "Indefinite" was just to appease because, omg unprecedented on field incident!!
If Garrett is accusing him of this, and it didn't happen, it's a HORRIBLE look for MG's career going forward. The guy's supposedly the "gentle giant" having puppy play dates with fans in parks, writing poetry and dreaming about dinosaurs. He goes from that to meathead QB clubber/blatant liar.
Color me fucking shocked. The Steeler (Pouncey) gets his suspension reduced a game and Garrett's is upheld.

Fuck the NFL. And Ogbonjobi gets his 1 game upheld for a shove that is barely even a penalty. Complete garbage.
Goodell is such a piece of shit. If someone shot him I wouldn't care.

If he did say it and his teammates heard it, they wouldn’t have been defending him.
My final say on this.
It’s just a fucking bad look all around....especially the NFL side. Both the Browns and Steelers have good and bad looks in this....but the whole NFL part looks bad.
Just a shit ton of grown professional men not having a scratch of composure and making bullshit decisions.
Im truly truly not wanting to watch any of the rematch, of course I will and then the next 2 weeks of sports talk and social media will be all about all the shit of the Browns and Steelers. I’ll be fucking shocked if the rematch is remotely clean. I wanna watch professional athletes entertain me with their unbelievable abilities....any one of us could be a purposeful POS. Get over your fucking selves and play a game and may the best team win in that day. A week ago it was the Browns that were the better team, but half the fuckers that live and die with all their opinions on this probably don’t even know who the hell won the game.
Quit being a dumbass Goodell

I'm thinking this will go one of two ways....it will either be a WWE Battle Royale or the refs are going to call this so tight that fans will be pissed with all of the flags and it will be a snore fest.
