A win for the good guys.
Garrett apparently claimed that Rudolph had used a racial slur against him. You'd think that's the kind of thing that would've been heard about before now...
The goodest guys.Like I said, a win for the good guys
The best of guysThe goodest guys.
C'mon mate not one player from either team or official or the dozens & dozens of mics on the field & players heard anything of the sort, Garrett or any brown never said anything about it in any interview or social media/any other outlet after the game, nor has any of the tv stations you think if their mics had picked up something like that they would just sit on it.He had an interview set up that the Browns stopped - likely for this reason. He also made an allusion to Mason having said something when questioned after the game, but wouldn't go into it, instead giving the same two statements - you think the Browns told him not to blow it up immediately?
The fact that he waited until the hearing - a supposedly confidential one at that - rather than try to win a PR war, along with the fact that this is a guy who was punched in the face in public and didn't react... makes me think Mason probably did say something - or at least, Myles genuinely believes he heard it.
Either way, LOL @ win for the good guys comment. This is the same team that has Big Ben for a QB, and celebrates some of the dirtiest players of the modern era in James Harrison and Hines Ward.
After the Walker incident in Week 1, Garrett told Cleveland.com: “Yeah, usually I don’t let things like that get to me and I won’t let it happen again.”
The hits on Siemian, especially the second, were widely derided as dirty. “I don’t want a reputation as a guy who hits late or hits high intentionally,” Garrett told reporters. “That’s never my goal.”

All this shows is that Garrett is absolutely remorseless with this sad desperate lie in an attempt to shorten his suspension, Garrett has shown yet again he is a dirty player & that is putting it very mildly, Myles deserves everthing he gets.
Wasn't even his first incident of the season
I get you are a Browns fan man but c'mon
Pouncey kicked a defenceless player in the head. How the f**k did he get his suspension reduced?
Buddy you are letting your bias cloud your judgement, it's as simple as this there was absolutely no evidence none, nada, zero, you believe him because you are a Browns fan I get it. Mics pick up stuff all the time in loud crazy stadiums playoffs/superbowl it doesn't matter.They were right next to each other in the middle of a roaring stadium, how is it a surprise that someone else didn't hear them? Would likely require one of the two of them to be mic'd up in that case... which they weren't?
As for being showing 'yet again' that he's dirty, I'd see your late hit and open handed strike and counter with both the above (getting punched and not reacting) and a story from the PFF NFL podcast around the Browns-Colts joint practice in preseason... many fights broke out, had guys running from other fields to join in - the notable exception? Myles Garrett. When they spoke to him, he said something on the order of 'nah, I can't be getting involved in that stuff'. They told the story during preseason then brought it up again this week, given the circumstances. So what made him change from that?
Look, I don't *know* either way (and neither do you, or probably anyone aside from the two of them). But I'm not willing to assume Myles is bullshitting either. And I'm certainly comfortable with his suspension - even if he was racially abused, you simply can't do what he did. The better argument for a reduction would be the Smith precedent, or an argument to move off 'indefinite' would be the CBA... but frankly, the suspension he got was fine.
