I'm not saying that it's okay, or that there shouldn't be a punishment, but Garrett's punishment struck me as a bit too severe. Ray Rice gets two games for beating the crap out of a woman, while Garrett gets half a season or more for escalating a fight in the heat of battle (albeit very egregiously) with a grown man who was kind of asking for it.
I agree 100%. This is nowhere close to a federal case (you know what I mean), especially considering that Rudolph a.) was the first to grab helmet and b.) was charging at Garrett at the time the helmet got swung.
I would like to see Garrett's suspension reduced to four games. What he did, while dangerous, was not as flat out vicious as what Albert Haynesworth did (stomping on a player's head while the other player was on the ground defenseless). Haynesworth got six games for that borderline criminal act.
Damon Killian are we? Or perhaps Jonathan E.?
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
