Give me an example
That shit happens in half the games I watch.
That wasn't a helmet grab ala a hard facemask man. That was flatly trying to rip off the guy's head protection while bodies are still flying around them.
This doesn't happen in half the games you watch. If not a suspension... at minimum he should have been ejected from the game. [Reply]

Disagree
Not suspension or ejection worthy. [Reply]

Anyone that thinks that warrants a suspenion needs to head on over to the **** Billay's Booty Call Bungalow/Titty Meat's Tantalizing Treehouse ***** thread and post photos of their vag for Billay. [Reply]

What... did Rudy feel as if the refs were gonna let Myles keep his helmet indefinitely and it was all up to him to retrieve it?
LOL, really? Players barely get suspended for throwing punches (see myles jack). You think someone's gonna get suspended for tugging at a helmet then thumping his chest? [Reply]

Throwing punches at a padded player is vastly different from attempting to rip off people's helmets.
It appears to me that Rudolph's left hand/wrist is stuck to Garrets facemask somehow. Probably his play call wristband got caught in it somehow. . [Reply]

Let's call it as it is.
Rudolph GRABBED Garrett's facemask intentionally in one hand then grabbed the back of Garrett's helmet with the other with the full intention of trying to rip it off his head. It wasn't accidental in the least. [Reply]

Rudolph is not the instigator. There is no dick kick. He's obviously not a smart QB, but I see nothing he should be punished for.
Actually, there quite clearly is.
And there was nothing legally wrong with Garrett's tackle. It doesn't matter that there were only a few seconds left in the game. It's football, and the tackle was a legal tackle.
Rudolph didn't like it, and I can't say I don't understand that, but he clearly tries to rip Garrett's helmet off first using both hands. Left hand clearly grabbing the fasemask and pulling it down, right hands reaches around the back of the helmet trying to pull it off. And he nearly gets it off. That's called instigating; he started it. And the kick to the groin happens almost immediately after the above video clip ends.
And then when they're both up, and Garrett has Mason's helmet, Rudolph rushes forward but behind DeCastro yelling something (we can guess what most of that sounded like), pointing his finger at Garrett before he gets clocked. In other words, Mason didn't have to further antagonize Garrett; he could've simply walked away, found the ref and pleaded his case.
Instead, he gets whacked, and IMMEDIATELY turns around, hands up in the air, clearly looking for a flag. I find that interesting. [Reply]
