Collinworths says Haynesworth should be arrested!

[Cbz40]

That was only one of them for Vick. He elbowed an assistant coach in the head, from behind of course, after he went out of bounds.

Well Yeag this has to be worse because it happened to one of our players.

Do not question the all knowing CBZ!!!

the worst hit ever has to be Kermit Washington sucker punching Rudy TOmjonavich, CBZ, you know what I'm talking about

 

[Cbz40]

That's a very obtuse observation HH!!!!!

 

[Bob Sacamano]

in fact they're not - and that's the only thing I'm arguing. People are asking what happened because they didn't see it, and by comparing it to a 'curb stomp,' it's making it sound a lot worse than it was.

That said - I still hate Haynesworth, and hope he doesn't see the field in '06 again.

a curb stomp is actually placing an opponents open mouth over a curb, and stomping him in the back of the head, splitting his head open from ear to ear

what Haynesworth did, is still a stomp

Yes....I had forgotten about that.

Do you remember the consequence for that incident?

Thank you Sir ....very interesting.

 

[tomson75]

curbed. i've seen it in person. the most awful thing i never hope to see again. what he did wasn't close. however, he deserves an arse wippen, and a heavy suspension.

 

[rgcowboys]

He should be suspended for atleast 8 games. I wonder what would be done if he did that to a quarterback? say what you wat the NFL looks after their qbs.

 

[Echo9]

I tell ya what really gets me on this. The fact that Haynesworth stopped and took the time to bend down and remove Gurodes helmet first.

It wasn't too easy to see during the game (for me at least). And alot of the replays later also did not focus on that. But I caught a replay on BSPNews and you can then clearly see him bend down, pull off the helmet, stand up, give a kick, pause for half a second and then stomp down a second time.

Now that second stomp wasn't like he jumped up in the air and pounded all his weight down (as some embellishments here are leaning towards), but it looked as though he lifted his foot, paused for half a second to take aim, and tromped down on Gurode's head. There's got to be some extra punishement for that level of premediation. For cryin out loud, he took the time to remove the helmet first?!?

Now I was thinking that he should get about a 4 game suspension until someone here brought up the hypothetical "what if this had happened to a QB"

Holy Cow could you seriously imagine that? The outrage would be more deafening than all of Bill Parcell's accumulated silences combined!

I think he should get a year...he won't, but he should.


On the flip side, many props to Gurode. When a center frustrates a DT to that level, you know he's doing a good job.

 

[MRTRIPOD]

I agree and upset he was not arrested before the end of the game!

 

[Frozen700]

geeze...I can't believe the things being argued about today.

Haynesworth is NOT going to be arrested or even charged with anything.

Unfortunately, the injury turned out much worse than the kick...I saw it many times, like the rest of you, and it didn't even look that bad to me.

Wrong...yes.
Penalty...yes.
suspension....yes.

But gee...he didn't "stomp" Gurode's head into the ground. He tripped over Gurode's shoulder, not his head...I don't think he had anything to do with Gurode losing his helmit...he was past Gurode and kicked back at him, a short, jabbing kick, not a brutal, powerdown, stomping against the ground. Gurode's head only moved a few inches, and he didn't even drop to the ground, staying on his hands and knees...I'm sure he was stunned, but probably shocked to even have blood...we saw him walk out with ice on his head and come back with his patch...we never even saw any blood get on his uniform, and it wasn't gushing out while he was on his hands and knees.

I was actually shocked that he needed so many stitches, but I'm guessing it was for several cleat scratches from the shoe as it raked across his head more than direct impact...that's how i saw it.

I'm not defending him...he's got an anger problem, but the guy didn't do something that ranks among the worst ever on a football field.

plzzzzz just ****

 

[AtlCB]

I'm taking the over and I bet Haynesworth doesn't appeal.

 

[the kid 05]

he intended to cause harm, that's assault

Of course it is. No one is questioning that.

last time i checked assault was a criminal offense....thus requiring a certain amount of jail time and hefty legal fines

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

That could be classified as assault. If it had happened on the street, he would have been arrested and charged on the spot.

We get the same arguments re incidents in hockey, some have resulted in charges, although most are pled to conditional discharges, but the answer is, the incident did not happen on the street.

Haynesworth's actions were despicable but he will probably be fined and suspended. Charging him only pleases the vengeance we all want, will not clean up the game.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Motley, do you watch the same games we do? He deliberately stomped on his head. Andre's head didn't move far because it was already on the ground.
