Steelers @ Browns...Round 1

posted by BR1986FB

My biggest beef is that Rudolph's skating by and most Steeler "fans" on social media (I'm sure not any of you Steeler guys on here, as you seem sensible) crying about how the Browns are "dirty." Apparently they have selective memory over the Browns punter getting cleated by AB, Harrison knocking out 3 Browns players with helmet to helmets (ending one's career),a morbidly obese QB hitting one of the Browns DL in the nuts (not Rudolph, separate incident) and a HC who tried to trip an opposing player on a return. 

I’ve not seen a single thing about Browns being dirty....I see a lot of the Rudolph got what he deserved and pics of how he started it.

I don’t see reason to defend anyone in this really. It’s completely dwarfed a nice win and game by the Browns (which irritates me)

These are mostly all dumb but I thought this one was funny.

We're on different Facebook's then. LOL..Ton of Burgh fans saying he, and the Browns, are dirty. As far as Rudolph "deserving it", those are the dolts who should be denied breeding privileges. Nobody deserves getting clocked in the head with an object like that.

As you said, put a shadow over a good, and long overdue, win by the Browns. I hope they rebound in time for the Dolphins because it's been reported that the locker room was like a morgue after that "victory." Hope they shake it off as Miami's playing some improved football the last 3 weeks.

I think the Browns are in a pretty good place mentally. Some of their big name guys get down too much when things go bad and a little too excited when things are good. But I think they are trending nicely in the right direction for this portion of their schedule.

OMG, I just watched SNL’s opening skit. 
 

A must watch if you didn’t catch it. 
 

Spoiler alert:  Kenan Thompson as Myles.

I forgot about the rapist doing this, good call.  Any Steelers fan crying about this needs to GTFO.  Considering the league history, I also find it bullshit the suspension is indefinite.  It should have been 4 games max.  The media has made this worse than it is.

Garrett is appealing this. Wonder if it has anything to do with the actual rule in the NFL rulebook that says :

Rule 12 in the rulebook covers “player conduct” and all the way down to Article 17, there it is: “Use of helmet as a weapon.”

“A player may not use a helmet that is no longer worn by anyone as a weapon to strike, swing at, or throw at an opponent,” it reads. And the penalty?

For illegal use of a helmet as a weapon: Loss of 15 yards and automatic disqualification. If the foul is by the defense, it is also an automatic first down.

Doubt he'll get much love from Goodell as he seems to make up the rules as he goes along.

It sounds like there may be language in the CBA that indefinite suspension can only be used for off the field incidents.

Yeah, with this new info and the fact that they are appealing and the NFL will give their decision by Weds, I could see this being reduced to 4 games. Once the dust settles, and the fake outrage dies down, I think they will all get reduced suspensions.

Oh, and f#ck the bitch ass p#ssy Haslam's. I may have mentioned this earlier but they sent an apology to the Steelers and Rudolph for Garrett's behavior. Caller on 92.3 brought up a good point, unless I missed something, "Saint" Rooney never sent any apologies when Harrison was doing his best to make Colt McCoy, Josh Cribbs & MoMass vegetables. P#ssy ass kowtow suck up behavior.

No doubt the Browns were head hunting. I’m not crying about it. They’ve been getting beat on for decades. I like seeing some spice back in the “rivalry.”

Agree

Next game against the Steelers has been moved to 1 PM.  They do not want any part of that brawl taking place at night or in a time slot where a lot of fans will see it!

In 2013 I think someone ripped off Incognito’s helmet and swung it at him appearing to graze his face.....only got 1 game. I know the league is softer 6 years later and things have changed for “safety”

I don’t care if he plays Sunday but if he does I’ll need to avoid social media because it’s brutal, almost overshadowed that screaming lady/cat meme.

It’s going to be hard to watch. I can see the macho bullshit stuff now. I’ll go 5.5 on the over/under personal fouls.

The meme that set a new speed record for going from cool to WAY over-done!

One day I'd see 2-3 of that meme online; the next, it seemed like I'd see 20 of them over a 25-post stretch. With only about 1/2 to 2/3 of them actually being accurate uses of the meme and the rest being dipshits taking something they thought was funny and simply throwing it on that meme.

Yeah, heard Goodell on a podcast. This isn't getting reduced. Basically sounds like he's expecting Garrett to apologize, saying it's ALL his fault (not mentioning Rudolph did anything) and then he MIGHT be reinstated for 2020.

I think we all know that Goodell makes shit up as he goes along.

Tomlin, LOL...GTFO

Tomlin is definitely making himself look like a moronic dickbag with how he has handled the media over this.
