I have,, add that to the list.Guess youve never watched Rugby.

Yeah and he got hit on the noggin for it. That red hat has built up some confidence. I guess he thought it would save him from Myles.
That supports my post. The difference being that NFL players make a significant amount of money during their careers.How about mma? Several ex-football players have gotten into the octagon and gotten their butts kicked toyally.
Not just the NFL .The culture of softness coming in a big wave.
But you are right he choose the wrong event to express his point what that clown did is wrong not only in sport but in street life too.
Who said anything about winning or losing? And everyone around the league hates Rudolph. He’s lucky Garrett hit him on that part of his head. He could’ve got rocked. Just stupid.Mason Rudolph will get a slap on the wrist. Who is out of football for the rest of the season, and maybe, even part of next season?
Who really won the fight?
One guy got angry because he perceived Garrett getting him with a late hit. Myles Garrett stupidly lost his temper in a game with 8 seconds on the clock that they were winning. MAGA Rudolph won.
3 games for Rudolph, IMO. He tried unsuccessfully to pull Garrett's helmet off, but I doubt he planned to hit him with it.He’s right. Every year these guys have to adapt to new rules. It’s soft. They are soft when they want to be though. Rudolph should’ve been suspended indefinitely too.
Garrett swung that helmet with the opening down. Had the edge of the helmet come down just right, it doesn't take much to rip an ear completely off. He should be suspended for at least a full 16 games, IMO. I don't really care what pretty words he utters after the fact.The inconsistent enforcement of hits on the QB gives the impression of being either soft or over protective of the star QB's but ripping a QB's helmet off and hitting him with it isn't soft, it's stupid and Garrett is lucky he didn't connect solidly and be facing a criminal charges right now.
Pro football isn't hockey and doesn't want that reputation, a player just throwing a swing will get ejected. Controlling the aggression is part of it and Garrett wasn't taking his out on some OL that had been holding him all game or trying to cut him. He started that when he had Rudolph on the ground.
Quinn citing this case just proves he should have attended more classes, this is not the example to use for the NFL getting soft. Three games for kicking a player on the ground is soft. Girls and martial artists kick in fights, reach on down there Pouncey and get you some of that....tool.

Really? Based on what? His Twitter likes? Rudolph’s teammates sure as heck seemed to like in in that fight - Pouncey tried turning it into a brawl.
I think all “MAGA Rudolph” has to care about is how his locker room thinks of him - and with Ben’s history and personality and what former players have said about him, seems Mason might be a step up in the likeness regard
The players aren't being fooled by Rudolph. Hopefully you aren't either but you never know........

He’s right. But he picked the wrong event to make his point.
By the way, Myles Garret indefinitely suspended.
Robert Kraft still owner of Patriots.
I don't see that having rules and consequences against whacking other players across the bare head with a helmet is necessarily getting "soft".
His previous coach calling that "out of character" is funny. Who cares? That's like the neighbors of the serial killer. "He was quiet and kept to himself". Just one time I like to see some guy in a wife beater with chili stains, a PBR in his hand, interviewed. "Hell, I could have told people he was a serial killer. He'd stand out in the yard juggling chain saws and had over 50 axes in his collection and was carrying rolled up carpet out every weekend. He kept to himself because there wasn't no one alive around him for long".Garrett swung that helmet with the opening down. Had the edge of the helmet come down just right, it doesn't take much to rip an ear completely off. He should be suspended for at least a full 16 games, IMO. I don't really care what pretty words he utters after the fact.
Its all about Risk vs Reward, and the NFL is the only true Gladiator sport left on the planet.
Maybe there is still dirt diving in Yugoslavia, where you climb up a 30 foot ladder and dive head first in to the ground,, IDK, but I bet they got no insurance.
These players make millions, and I would imagine that they understand the risk vs reward scenario thoroughly before signing that contract.
Soooo, your solution is to just make it legal for players to rip off an opposing players helmet and commence to whacking him on the head with it?I have to agree with Quinn. Normally when there is a rule change, officials and refs go to each training camp to talk about enforcement. But outlawing hitting a player in the head with a helmet, when they aren’t wearing one really received no attention from the NFL this offseason. How can you expect defensive players to stop opposing offenses if actions like these are suddenly not allowed.
That’s probably a little dramatic E. LolThe entirety of western society has gotten soft.
Stand up comedians can barely joke about anything anymore. Many of the greatest movies made in the 90s or before couldn't be made today. People are getting fired or kicked out of office for things they said or did 40 years ago. We've even attacked the use pronouns to the point that boys are competing in girls events.
Football has no chance of survival in that climate.
Rome fell. America is starting the same process.
They are not doing the right thing. They turn a blind eye to hgh. We all know these guys are using HGH. If you don't think they are you are blind. HGH really isn't bad but when a human gets to the point that an NFL player has gotten to it is unhealthy because they rely on atleticism instead of technique. These guys have gotten so big and so fast, while losing technique that the helmet has become far too dangerous to use. The helmet is now used a a tool in the NFL when it should be used only for protection. These guys have gotten so big and athletic that technique has disappeared from the NFL game completely. The techniques used in the NFL is very dangerous for head injuries and with these players using the helmet/head to run/ block and tackle it is destroying their brains. There has to be major changes to how the NFL plays the game or the players union will continue to have a case to sue the NFL. The NFL will then continue to make changes to soften the game to show they care for the players union.
Bring back proper technique to the NFL and it would fix everything but that would never happen. It would make the game more boring and less exciting for fans to watch. All fans want is offense. They want FF stats. So the NFL will continue to only care about making offense easier to meet what the current NFL fan wants. Fans don't care about player safety at all. If you did then you would stop watching this crap product until the NFL comes up with real fixes and not some crap to make it look like they care. Same the the Union. They don't care about the players safety either they will do things to make it appear like they do but all they care about is money.
All in all Money is destroying the sport. The NFL is a business they are doing exactly what they should. They aren't in the business to preserve the game of football. They are in business to make money. And NFL fans continue to buy into this garbage product so they will continue doing what they do.
After NFL cracks down on Myles Garrett, Robert Quinn sees football getting soft
Cowboys defensive end Robert Quinn worries that the handwringing about the brawl at the end of Thursday night's Steelers-Browns game reflects a sport that's changing for the worse. Quin...
