If Myles ripped off his helmet and chased him 40 yards down the field that would be one thing, but the Mason Rudolph knew his helmet was off and still pursued a man who was out of his vicinity who had a weapon. Should Garrett have swung the helmet? Absolutely not. But if you hop in the snake pit don’t be surprised when you’re bit. It’s just that simple

[@durangobasics6195]

Both men learned something out of this

[@martinrademakers762]

Well the NFL needs to cut the head off the snake. Myles loses $1.2 million dollars for his mindless act. Just Imagine if this happened in a week 1 game, Myles would receive a 15 game suspension.

[@Sense80eight]

False. Obviously you never played organized football. Myles should've dropped the helmet on the ground after ripping it off mason head. There's no reason to swing that helmet at someone who doesn't have any protection on the his head. Myles hitting him on the head with a helmet doesn't justify anything mason did. Even high school kids know better then that.

[@anthonysclafani3963]

Bad argument. I get what you mean, but you can't justify such an extreme overreaction by Garret. I agree Rudolph should've let it go, but Garret was absolutely not justified in attacking him with a helmet

[@techniteazyceomaynardmorga5608]

The snake pit analogy is not a good one for this. As a man your pride in a heated situation doesn't allow you to back down. In the fight you basically telling Mason to punk out. I guarantee if he had ran back to the sideline after his helmet got snatched some of y'all would've been saying: he should've stood up to him as a man. At the least if he knows he doesn't stand a chance he's just letting dude know I'm not gonna back down. First of all Garret outweighs him by about 100 pounds, secondly you got his helmet. What threat does he pose to you? That was a punk move to swing a helmet and you the bigger dude to begin with. A snake kills for survival. A human being / Full grown adult has the ability to reason and know when things have got to a point when I just need to use your brain and just chill out...

[@tomwitner874]

@Chris Rife Garret started it with the late hit and unnecessary roughness then wouldn't let Rudolph get up. Garret had bad intentions before the ball was even snapped. Keep in mind the game was decided and there was only 8 seconds left and you're still trying to injure the QB.

[@maxstevens7133]

Kinda ironic that Mr. Bountygate is talking about this

[@snakeowski6748]

Max Stevens I get what you’re saying, but I think this is different. Bountygate was players trying to injure players with hard hits or head hits (still very bad btw), this was him literally taking a helmet (which could be used as a weapon) and smacking a dude in the head, which could of caused permanent brain damage. But I get your point.

[@user-mx8rn6tj8h]

This is absolute B.S Pouncey and Rudolph deserve to get season bans aswell..... Kicking somebody in the groin and stomping on their helmet is just as illegal as slamming a helmet on somebody.

[@hworth3]

Is anyone looking at the initial sack? The QB, pulled at his helmet and started the ruckus, then Garret pulled his helmet off, Garret was being held by the other guy and wasn’t going back at the QB, then he charges back at Garret and Garret swings. He’s wrong for swinging but QB is wrong for coming back at him. There’s no one right person in this, all participating partners deserve something.

At what point.. from when Myles pulled off Mason helmet, to where Myles actually hit Mason on the head.. Mason wanted the smoke, so he got it. If he didn’t want to get hit, he should of kept his self where he was at

So Rudolph should have expected to be bashed over the head with a helmet? Clearly no one else expected it to happen, so why should he?

If I have a gun, and I get in a scuffle with someone, and now that person has my gun.. You think ima run up on him to get my gun back ?? No!!! Myles was backing up, Mason ran up on Myles. Mason started it and kept it going. He lucky it didn’t end up worse

@@FlyAndNiceEnt By Law in the street Myles would be right and Rudolph would be charged with attempted assault. He initiated and continued by charging when things were de-escalated by Castro holding Myles. Myles was being held and defending himself not charging at Rudolph. and Pouncy was doing to much when Castro continually to hold him down. Myles had nobody down there yet when all that happen. Myles was against three Steelers. I would not charge Castro because he tried to help but it actually made it worst. But charge Pouncy for Assault and Rudolph for attempted assault while someone was being held in a vulnerable position.

[@kimstuart7989]

nah. I think everybody on both sides mutually understood Myles was clearly the individual in the wrong. Even during the altercation, the 'brawl" was everybody on both teams separating Mason and Myles, moreso containing Myles. Even when one of the Browns players sort of brushed against Mason to get to Myles and mason shoved him, the Browns player was like "alright my issue ain't with you, we are cool" and didn't shove him back or anything. It would be a different story if Myles was allowed to play that game though lol.

Then Pouncey attacks Myles Garrett, unprovoked. Mason Rudolph and Pouncey should be fined for every dollar they've earned, and be suspended indefinitely. Myles Garrett should get their checks.

[@theinternetwizardssociety939]

White Privilege at work. 1. Mason started the fight after getting tackled. 2. Mason went after Garrett to attack Garrett 3. Garrett defended Mason comin at him by swinging the helmut 4. The helmut swing literally grazed Mason and wouldn't of seriously hurt anyone. 5. Mason wasnt hurt at all was he? So why talk of murder ? Brain damage? Craziest thing we've ever seen on a football field? Really? 6. Mason wasn't punished for creating the entire situation, while Garrett is suspended for an entire season. Right.

[@tigerhoods7927]

Mason Rudolph can’t stay away from concussions

[@profitnotpoverty5479]

What Myles did was wrong, but y’all not gone act like mason didn’t try to pull his helmet off and then charge at Myles. Don’t be one sided

[@paulf.84]

Willie 212 Exactly and they’re gonna keep showing the same clip of Garrett swinging the helmet.

[@Cap1tanCh0r1zo]

The media is over hyping the situation. They want to talk about the law. Cool. Let’s talk about the law. The rules state: when a player uses a helmet as a weapon it is a 15 yard penalty and the player gets DQ’d. Can’t have it both ways. Rudolph wanted the smoke. He got the smoke PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Don’t try to be a victim now. He initiated the whole thing. He tried to take Garret’s helmet off first.

[@im_waffles2920]

Capitan Chorrizo I say that what Garrett did is fine. Is it wrong, sure. But it was self defense.

[@JayvsEverybody]

So everybody is gonna say the dame thing ??

[@juliandilonez9759]

Mason Rudolph needs to be suspended for this fight.

[@tmorgan7939]

Gotta like Louis Riddick . . .99% of the time you can count on him for a very thoughtful comment.

[@oldham1846]

The suspension levied against Myles Garrett was a slap on the wrist. A stronger message would have been sent by banning him from the league permanently. He could have murdered that kid or seriously injured him. The lawsuits would have been off the charts. In a bar fight, had a regular joe got upset with someone, snapped and clocked someone on the head with a helmet - even if no injury occurred - he would be looking at assault with a deadly weapon. That's 10 to 20 years in the big house.

[@damianpantucci2456]

Schefter just compared a helmet to a sledgehammer and said "foot-stomping" as opposed to what. Good segment

[@stephenasunnamedsource2943]

This couldve been avoided completely. Out of all the plays you coulld call with 8 seconds left and your down 14 you run a screen play. 💀💀💀💀💀

[@adamlewis5700]

Well the Browns were blitzing the last 3 plays so why not? The counter to the blitz is the screen. The better question is why were the Browns running blitzes up 2 scores with 10 seconds left? Most teams, you know, run man cover 2 when defending a lead or just 3 deep zone.

[@bengotti4181]

Can't believe Mark Sanchez played 10 seasons in the NFL

[@TrestanSKYWALKR]

Sanchez has a lot more to be embarrassed about “as a former player.” 😂

[@briangormley1972]

Max Kellerman defended Garrett so I guess Louis Riddick is wrong.

[@Alan-oj3ps]

Adam Schefeter nailed it. We almost saw a murder on Thursday Night Football. Let that sink in.

[@Antbeast23]

I mean Mason Rudolph was taking off his helmet first lol

[@Mrpapabear85]

That was well said by Louis Riddick

[@mutsuru1]

Utterly disgusting! How do you go to such extremes👎👎

[@morganspector5161]

The most astonishingly stupid part of this astonishingly stupid event is that the Browns were up by 14 points with something like 20 seconds to go. What on earth can justify that ferocity at all, much less when it's all over?

[@joenicedj]

Speaking of Pouncey, how come there is not a 30 For 30 on the 2007 Florida Gators? Pouncey brothers, Tebow, Aaron Hernandez, Percy Harvin, Cam Newton, Janoris Jenkins, Urban Meyer, Riley Cooper. Think about the storylines....

[@mandilynn47]

If the defense would NOT have come to Rudolph's aide, Garret would have swung the opposite way with crown of helmet and he was trying to.......Rudolph probably talked savage, but there is no excuse.....

[@danielrussom7872]

They are more worried about Mason Rudolf’s damage but they never realize they made real damage by saying how criminal assault Myles conducted to spoil the sport spirit

[@whatunoaboutit]

This was a crime and the authorities should take him in.

[@whatunoaboutit]

Wait, what's this the QB instigated the whole thing. He should be suspended as well. Overreacted but instigated.

[@sebastienc.2257]

It would be considered self-defense, at worst aggravated assault. It if self-defense was the result he could sue for damages due to his suspension and loss of money. Plus they’d have to investigate the catalyst of the situation. Mason Rudolph responded they way he did for a reason. He’s not saying much because he knows he’s at fault, probably more than we know.

[@bigtymerebfan]

Pouncy, a near 400lb man, kicked and punched Myles in the head while his teammate was on top of him. He should get the same suspension. Just as dangerous and the same amount of damage was done.

[@WARRIORNATION69]

If anything the NFL need to let all the KIDS know, that were watching this game, that this is totally unacceptable. Not even a little bit, and the KIDS need to know that this is going to be severely punished!

[@HELLARARE4ever]

Now that enough time has passed as everything is all behind us now we can now focus on miles Garrett leading the browns to there 3rd straight win against the dolphins in week 12. Thank God everything is back to normal

[@tmcbride9435]

Not unless he wants to lose in court, he doesn't take it further. When you incite the outside of the game action by attempting to pull Myles' helmet off then charge at him while he's being restrained by your own teammates, he wins the self defense case, then Mason is open to a counter suit for lost wages. 😂

[@idalisleon6448]

Rudolph was trying to take his helmet off and then kicked him , so he asked for it Myles response was stupid but he was provoked that should not be forgotten. Myles is lucky , Rudolph said in a press conference said he was fine....and the helmit has a cushion I think he got his with some part of that ….

[@mondocjenson-dy8zd]

Okay okay... Miles thought the ball was a Popeyes Chicken Sandwich...

[@surftube4417]

I'm curious. Why do the two black guys keep saying, "I can't defend what happened". Why do they fell the need to defend this guy? Hmmmm

[@bigtruckdriver7791]

Nothing else need to be done this football, not cheerleading. The game already watered down!!! Myles overreacted to getting kick and his helmet snatched. Move on the media make it worst then it have to be.

[@JamesBrown-bz2xv]

Exactly.

[@trezndawg4240]

Myles Garrett committed Aggravated Assault, witnessed before National TV and hundreds of Professional Police Officers! He should've been escorted off the field in Silver Braclets,(Handcuffs). If Mason Rudolph decides not to press charges, fine, let's move on and let the NFL carry out their punishment. But the District Attorney should file charges at a minimum for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.

[@mikes.7545]

If u watch u see mason try and turn myles neck around when they are on the ground. Theres more here than just a swing of a helmet.

[@reyesmunguia4899]

I agree with Louis Riddick,he seems like a very smart guy.I am just glad Mason Rudolph did not go into seizures or die on the field

[@gamer197730]

Wasn’t Incognito hit with a helmet to the head? Dude only got a 3 game suspension for that. I’m not condoning what Myles did, but don’t act like this hasn’t happened before.
