They better hope his attitude remains in check from now on with that money or this could turn into a LOLCLEVELAND real fast. Myles Garrett may be a great pass rusher, but Juan Marichal is in the Baseball Hall of Fame and the longest entry on his Wikipedia page is the John Roseboro incident, so no matter what accolades he may achieve over his career, Garrett probably will never (and should never) escape what he did to Mason Rudolph last November. Nor should he. He could have killed Rudolph and got lucky 4 times during the whole incident. This is not like Andre Johnson cold cocking Cortland Finnegan or AJ Green losing his shit on Jalen Ramsey. Those were out of character moments, but Garrett was already developing a bad reputation and had already been fined multiple times last season alone. The first was for punching Delanie Walker. The second was for 2 late hits on Trevor Seimian, the second which destroyed the QB's ankle. The Rudolph incident started with yet another late hit, this time twisting a QB down to the ground in a manner that could have destroyed yet another backup QB's ankle. The fact that he did not injure Rudolph's legs in any way with that hit was his first lucky moment. I don't blame Rudolph for getting mad, though he certainly escalated things with some cheap shots at Garrett while tangled on the ground, which I will not excuse. The second lucky moment for Garrett came when he got to his feet and yanked Rudolph to his own feet by his facemask. That could have killed Rudolph by breaking his neck had he pulled at the wrong angle or twisted at the wrong moment. It's surprisingly easy to do, unfortunately. Life is frail. Fortunately, Rudolph escaped injury there, as well as during the 3rd lucky moment when Garrett ripped his helmet off without injuring his neck in any way. Finally, the most obvious lucky moment came when he hit Rudolph in the head the way that he did. Sure, that would not have happened had Rudolph backed off but Garrett definitely was the more guilty party by far. There were so many things that could have gone wrong and Garrett easily could have killed him in that moment.

And that piece of shit has the balls to cry, "Racist!" There is no way in hell Rudolph called him a racial slur with members of both teams right there. There would have been a full on street fight on the field. And Rudolph's teammates wouldn't back him up the way they did if he said it.
And Garrett knew he was wrong when he bitched that his conversation about it with his team leaked out. He realized what a dumb f***ing excuse he was giving.

An over the top moment that was brewing for a long time with OBJ playing dirty during that year and blew up at the worst time for his team. The sad truth is I'm not sure I would give Garrett that giant contract if you saw what happened when the Giants paid a lot of money to OBJ.

I won't say Norman was completely innocent in the festivities, but considering that OBJ was completely out of control that game I don't know anyone that would not get frustrated under those circumstances, especially since the refs did not rein OBJ in when they should have. He should have been ejected LONG before he was.

It did at least give us the joy of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman getting audibly more and more pissed off the longer it went. "And there's Beckham again! What is going on?!"

Imagine how pissed I was as a Panthers fan that it happened.

Didn't JJ Watt say he probably wouldn't play if players had to wear those face shields they're showing off?

The way the Chiefs are spending right now reminds me of when Homer Simpson would always throw this lavish Mardi Gras celebration, and when pressed about how he could afford it, he said he kept borrowing on a home equity loan. But when he and Marge go to see the mortgage broker and he sees how much his new monthly payment is, he tells the broker, "When you gave me that money, you said I wouldn't have to repay it 'til the future! This isn't the future, it's the lousy, stinking now!" The Chiefs are spending like they either don't understand the concept of a future or they have insider knowledge that the NFL will cease operations within two to three years and they're just going straight-up nuts and letting it ride. There are already fans screaming about how "They're the new Patriots dynasty!".聽 Did anyone happen to pay attention to how the Patriots spent money over the years and how that related to how they built their team?聽 Do they realize that what NE did is damn near unheard of? I'd hold off on the dynasty talk until you, you know, win more than one.聽 Just ask the Packers, Ravens, Eagles, Broncos, Seahwks etc...... The Chiefs aren't the Patriots..in the fact that both Mahomes and Jones took less than they could have gotten. The Chiefs value their players and pay them, they also promote the individuals on the team. The Patriots don't care about players being themselves or having fun or really even paying them..dudes like playing for the Chiefs, you can win and not act like a Machiavellian dick to do it.

I know, Rob Gronkowski was such a mild mannered buttoned downed guy when he played on the Patriots, its strange to see what he's become.

There鈥檚 a rumor going around that there鈥檚 going to be a big expos茅 in the Washington Post in the next two days about the Washington NFL team, and it鈥檚 allegedly going to have some explosive revelations. I鈥檓 seeing people talking about sexual abuse, drugs, alcohol, sex parties, the cheerleaders being pimped out and doing nude photo shoots, etc. Jay Gruden specifically is being mentioned for some misdeeds.
I don鈥檛 know how legit it is, but the story is getting passed around enough now that Pat McAfee has posted about it.

It's going to be fascinating watching Tennessee seeing how their offense is about old school running the ball, controlling the clock, and just all out smash mouth football. It's going to be fun to see the "Sooner or later, everything old is new again." philosophy in an age where we could be seeing a much more pass happy league with players like Mahomes and Jackson leading the way.

The Chiefs aren't the Patriots..in the fact that both Mahomes and Jones took less than they could have gotten.

The Patriots don't care about players being themselves or having fun or really even paying them..dudes like playing for the Chiefs, you can win and not act like a Machiavellian dick to do it. I got too caught up in the excitement of "the Patriots don't care about players being themselves or having fun" to notice it, but I just caught the claim about how the Patriots don't care about "really even paying them." I don't even know where to begin with this. It's a salary-capped league, it's not a charity. Are the Patriots supposed to look at the overpayments that some of their free agents receive on the open market and match or exceed them simply because they wore Patriots uniforms? Is Bill Belichick's heart supposed to grow three sizes because Trent Brown got $66 million from the Raiders, Trey Flowers got $90 million from the Lions, or Nate Solder landed $62 million from the Giants? They pay the players they pay and they let the free agents walk who they feel aren't worth overpaying for. That's why Malcolm Butler walked to Tennessee for $61 million the year after they signed Stephon Gilmore for $65 million, which was the year after Logan Ryan departed for the Titans for $30 million.
