Fine here with hotly contested debate attacking my arguments. This seems different. But totally game here if it's allowed š. Obvious bias is obvious. I'd rather not engage with someone wearing rose-colored glasses on this topic. So once again, stay out of quoting my posts on this. Thanks again.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I pressed charges once when I was intentionally hit in the head playing lacrosse.Ā Video showed the guy coming at me from 10 yards away while my head was down.Ā Even the coach from the other team was outraged at his own player (he was kicked off the team).Ā I can't think of an instance where using equipment as a weapon has ever not had any sort of outrage.

I'd buy it more for Pouncey than Garrett.Ā Ā Actually think it was like that for all parties involved. They all saw RED for whatever their reasons. Unfortunately,Ā it's not an excuse. It's one of those incidents where the second after it happened,Ā you knew you F-up. It's like grabbing a Beer bottle , pool stick, ect in a Bar Brawl and deciding "at that time", it's a good idea! Its not! Garrett was actually lucky he didn't do more damage because there was potential for a Criminal Lawsuit/Charges had he gashed him wide open,Ā gave him yet another Concussion and hospitalized him. Stupid in the heat of the moment Mistake, Absolutely and Inexcusable!!!Ā I don't however think this is a character issue or "the norm" for Garrett similar to other players in the past like Burfict,Ā Incgnito, Suh, Haynesworth, ect.

pnies20 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) The outrage of this incident is what is hilarious to me. People just have to find something to condemn mob/riot style.Ā People that donāt even like football are freaking out. Blown way out of proportion. Edit: I do agree with his suspension for the remainder of the year. Edited November 15, 2019 by pnies20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
