Browns/Steelers Melee

The shit of it is, Garrett may get a lengthy suspension, but will be back, playing for some stupid owner who doesn't care a whit about players' character or behavior like this.

I think this is true. Actually, I think many coaches in American football glorify behavior like Garrett's. Shows how tough they are.

Garrett's 2019 season is over, but he'll be back on the field sometime next season, because of the "boys will be boys" culture of football, and because Rudolph wasn't visibly injured by the hit.

If Rudolph was knocked unconscious and ended up in a two-month coma, with the media broadcasting pictures of him on his hospital bed hooked up to various tubes and wires, the optics would be too terrible for the NFL to let Garrett ever play again.

At least Garrett said all the right things and it didn't sound like something his agent wrote.

Garrett was guilty of a personal foul roughing passer before Randolph even hit the ground..
Pouncey for the Novel Prize!!!!

A good agent will write something that doesn't sound like something the agent wrote.

So true. But you'll still know by the way the athlete says it, like an actor trying to give a good line-reading.

Good point. A genuine apology needs to be spoken and not just written.

[tandfman]

I haven't looked, but all I've seen in this case is a written apology.

Garrett is an extremely bright and well-read man. I don't think he needs anyone to write his apologies for him.

The Cleveland Browns-- the gift of dysfunction that keeps on giving.
