Dude cracks another dude in the head with his own helmet.

Way too harsh. I think taking a seat for the rest of the season is fine... but I also think he should be charged, criminally, with battery.

We will have to agree to disagree. As far as I’m concerned this this worse that betting on your own team. The gate has been opened. If he’s not dealt with harshly it will enable even worse acts of violence. Screw it though. I really don’t GAF. I turned the NFL out tears ago.

why you cryin?

Who’s crying? My Tigers are in the drivers seat. No other sport interests me at the moment.

Was watching the game when McSorley did it. IIRC be flattened an enforcer from another team who had targeted one of McSorley’s teammates.

Dude was laid out flat on his bad as cold as the ice he was laying on.

Yep it was when McSorley cracked Brashear‘s skull with the the hockey stick. They had fought many times on the ice that night before it happened. Seams McSorely grew tired of him targeting his teammates.

File that in the play stupid games, when stupid prizes category.

pretty sure he was never charged but in the late 60's or early 70's either Wayne Maki or Chico Maki (Blackhawks?) hit Bruin's enforcer (and pretty good defenseman) Teddy Green over the head with his stick.

Green eventually played again, it was big thing in Boston, but was not close to the player he had been.

Epilogue: Green died about a week ago. Will always be a favorite amongst FOG Bruins' fans.

I get it.
Didn't see it live, saw the short clips today. Pretty sick.

Garret didn’t know the ball was out because of where his head was positioned while taking Rudolph to the ground.

Mason didn’t like being taken to the ground and attempted to pull off Garrett’s helmet.....

Miles is much stronger than Mason and showed him how to remove a lid.

Mason didn’t like that either, and should have left the scene like a good QB when your linemen step in. At that point the big boys handle big boy stuff. But he didn’t.......

Then Miles is tackled by DeCastro who was the only SANE person doing the RIGHT thing the whole time. He attempted to shield Miles from everything.

Before he went down though, Miles did one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen on a football field.

He deserves at LEAST 6 games and I wouldn’t flinch at a season long ban.

Mason deserves at minimum a fine.

Pouncey deserves at minimum 2-3 games for his punching and kicking.

Mason’s press conference post game was PURE PUNK. I actually really liked the kid, was really rooting for him as I watched him at OSU.

Charged criminally?
LOL!

I like keeping him off the field for the remainder of the season.
OK to discuss some time next year, but probably not necessary.

But criminal?


Frank mentioned hockey. But look at baseball.
Dude throwing 100 mph hard ball at you? Lock him up!!


We can't pick and choose when we need law enforcement in sports because it hurts our sensibilities.

Hit dude with empty helmet? Arrest him!
Run head first at full speed wearing a helmet? let the league handle it.

Me?
I'd rather take the hit Rudolf received then be on the receiving end of a human battering ram to my noggin.

No contest.

Not advocating him being charged. I quoted the Louisiana statute to show it was more than a fist-a-cuff. You’re right though. The last thing LEO’s should be doing is policing a bunch of guys whose job it is to physical.

Throwing a baseball is part of the game of baseball, Joe. Swinging a helmet at another guy is not part of football.

I like that the kid did not want the law involved, and I like that the law said (basically) no complainant, no crime... but rest assured, that met all the elements of aggravated assault and battery.

Not part of the game.

Rudolph is a class act IMO. Here's his statement on the indecent.
