Garrett reinstated

[packerzrule]

there was retribution.

Missing 6 games is hardly retribution for his act......no?

There have been two other instances of someone swinging a helmet at someone else's head (Antonio Smith of the Texans and Nevin Lawsone of the Raiders), they were each suspended one game.

IDK if 6 games is a enough or not, but that was the call.

I assumed if he stayed out of the limelight he would be reinstated in time for next season....they're not getting paid now so financially it doesn't matter much if he got reinstated now or a week before OTAs.

what were you thinking he should get when the guy wasn't even hurt....and they have a similar act committed by A. smith who was not suspended?

edit - my bad...he got a game

Swinging? or swinging and connecting?

Maybe if it happens again to another player he gets 8-10 games but this is the longest suspension ever can't go much more harsh than that (other than for PED's of course)

Here's Antonio Smith:

With Nevin Lawson, I can't find video of it.

Man, I thought this was about Jason Garrett returning to Dallas

When I heard Garret was coming back on the radio my first thought was "please, anyone but Leif"

Ehhh, we're in a new era. With the league making all these overtures towards "player safety," i think this is just where they are these days.

How many games did Albert Haynesworth get for stomping on dude's noggin? 5?

 

[Bridgeburner]

I think 6 games is fair for the swing. But I think he should get another six for being a lying coward and not just owning it after the fact.

 

[Bridgeburner]

And another six for not connecting with a solid blow. Mason Rudolph just juked your ass. Six More games!

5 for trying to crush a man's skull
6 for trying to crack a man's skull

Seems fair.

 

[SteelersPride]

Wow. Did not see that coming.

The NFL is enabling players to go bat shit crazy without fear of retribution.

I don't care one way or another. But precedent is set. If you use a helmet, a football, a marking chain, a Gatorade cooler any "weapon" it's 6 games max.

Fighting peaks at 6 as well.

don't like how quickly it was done in the off season regardless of my affiliation. Seems the "undetermined" suspension was quite hollow.

5 for trying to crush a man's skull
6 for trying to crack a man's skull

Seems fair.

And thy was Rediculous too.

How can you lie about swinging a helmet? We all saw him do it lol.

The fact he said he called him a racial slur...none of us really know, I think he lied but no real proof

How much time did DonkeyKong Suh get for his stomping antics?

I don't remember and don't care to look it up.

Happened quicker than I expected....

Myles Garrett reinstated by NFL, rejoins Browns’ active roster

Did he complete his anger management course?

SO, for those of you keeping score at home:

Stomp to the head = 5 games
stomp on an arm = 2 games
stomp on Aaron Rodger's leg = 1 game
kick Matt Schaub in the nads = zero games
