JustAGuy Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) I'm unabashedly rooting for a career-ending, life-altering injury for Mr. Garrett next season.

VigilantZombie Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Its whatever. We all knew this was going to happen. Idc how good people think he is as a person, he has a thug mentality on the field just like Burfict did. It wont be his last suspension. Should he have gotten a life time ban? Probably not but he also shouldn't be playing a single snap in 2020 either. People wanna trash guys like Gordon but at least they're not going around breaking kids' arms and not even getting a slap on the wrist or bashing people with a helmet and only getting a slap on the wrist. The fact people are STILL trying to defend Garrett and act like there is any justification for his actions, imo still makes them as pathetic as he is.

Go outside with a helmet and hit the first person you see. When you get out of prison come back here and let us know what you were charged with.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to jail for that as well. Just like pitchers don’t get in trouble for throwing at people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
