American Football 2019 Thread:

Real talk, the double helmet to helmet shots that took out JuJu seemed far more violent to me then the glancing shot Rudolph took but it is the context and the danger of the action that is getting folk all heated.

Honestly the worst thing that happened was dude that was taken off bleeding from the ear. That shit was scary.

Garrett and everyone else involved got the punishments they deserved. I hope no one complains about players in the league being soft anymore, because when fans ask their teams to bring in players with a fighting mentality, they shouldnā€™t act shocked when fights actually happen.

Yea Rudolph only got grazed but it could of been way worse. I think Mason is a POS with shitty life views but what Garrett did was that bad. Garrett is lucky he just grazed Mason because if he didnā€™t his career is OVER if not worse.

I strongly feel Mason should be suspended for more than 1 game because he started it and provoked the whole thing and not just get some shitty fine.

I also feel Pouncy should get a full pass because if someone swung lets say a baseball bat at my homie I would drop his ass to.

This is one of the most complicated situations Ive seen in years for the NFL to handle and I agree 100% on the Garrett suspension but letting the instigator off with almost nothing is even worse.

People grab facemasks and yank them every game all game. That part is nothing new at all. No flags are thrown, refs just break it up, and the next play happens as if nothing ever happened.

Had nothing happened after that, Rudolph didnā€™t deserve anything to happen at all. I am fine with him being fined for it in this situation though because of what it lead to.

I also have no problem with Pounceyā€™s punishment. I would have also been fine had he received nothing. But clearly the NFL couldnā€™t have done that. And you know damn well that the locker room fucking LOVED what Pouncey did. Iā€™m pretty confident that the team has zero problem with anything Pouncey did and are praising him instead.

He wasnā€™t just grabbing his face mask. He grabbed it with both hands was trying to twist his helmet off dudes head.

I know but Iā€™m saying, the same type of thing happens all the time.

Thing is though, he didnā€™t rip it off, and he didnā€™t smash someone in their bare head with it.

Not sure if you heard it or not, but you should check out Florio on Chad Dukeā€™s show today talking about it. Him and Sean Salisbury talked about it. Itā€™s just a good listen.

You had to suspend Pouncey if nothing else because these teams play again in two weeks. Probably have to suspend Rudolph for 2 games to keep him away from the rematch too.

Yeah for sure. Like I said I am fine with it and expected it, and itā€™s deserved. But in the grand scheme of things, like I am 100% behind what he did lol. Sounds completely ass backwards but that is just how I feel about it.

Oh, Iā€™m behind what he did too. Most guys said they wouldā€™ve done what Pouncey did.

Iā€™m just saying you give him at least 2 to avoid him being around for the rematch. That rematch is probably the one time Iā€™ll be okay with heavy Refball. 20, 30 flags. Doesnā€™t matter, you penalize a wrong sneeze to keep everyone in line for that game.

So people on ESPN, FOX, etc. are acting like a love tap from Garrett to Mason was attempted murder. :joy::joy::joy:

Fake outrage over obviously bad actions that will be punished is the new chic.

It will prob mostly be signs and flags. Folk that want to protest the man for his protests are a loud minority. Also probably drunk at a college game now.

LOL seriously WTF are these cunts even protesting about?

Today on Sirius one dude was annoying and kept saying this Kaep thing was dumb and if a team wanted to bring him in they would of by nowā€¦

NO they couldnā€™t?.. Dude has a simple workout and he got ā€œpatriotā€ protestersā€¦ This allowed for Mass amounts of teams to kinda go into the deep end together.

If he is willing to take the vet min then at this point some team is just going to say fuck it and just sign him if not for jersey sale alone and its only for the end of the year so if really goes that bad you can move on easy.

I kinda hope Oakland signs him so any protesters that show up to a home game get fed to the Black Hole.

I want to say one of the LA teams but Kroenke is Jerry on steroids and Rivers probably will make quarterback meetings a living hell if Kaep was in that room.

No one else will sign him because fanbases are way too petty and old money (aka most of the money) will stop showing up

ā€œBut his stat-ā€ slap Dude was by himself and had Jim Tomsula as his coach his last season sit down

Majority of the fanbase doesnā€™t give a shit unless he can play. But there is a loud minority that speaks to the old money dudes at the top that despite their wealth are straight cowards when it comes to losing their ā€˜fansā€™ or sponsorships.

Granted today seems like a lost cause potentially due to both sides unless one of them is straight lying. But in general, I honestly both of them knew the score going in and were prepared to fuck the other over to gain media buzz. If what I am hearing is right Kaep barely looks better while the NFL is trying to play damage control.
