gronks roid rage finally boiled over

if his appeal is that he is a very simple minded man and was short circuited by intense confusion at his treatment by officials then i guess i would be on board
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:04 (six years ago) link
obvs none of this is scientific, but giving talib/crabtree two (initially) and gronk one is silly. not to mention the w33d suspensions
― mookieproof, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:17 (six years ago) link
NFL suspensions are a joke. I think they just spin a wheel.
― competitive shooter - - - - (Spottie), Monday, 4 December 2017 21:20 (six years ago) link
league priorities when it comes to player discipline prob couldn't be more fucked up
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:23 (six years ago) link
Gronk deserves to be out longer than a game. That hit was really rough and really unnecessary.
― Moodles, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link
one game is a big suspension imo
― competitive shooter - - - - (Spottie), Monday, 4 December 2017 21:42 (six years ago) link
for him that's close to 500k
― competitive shooter - - - - (Spottie), Monday, 4 December 2017 21:43 (six years ago) link
NHL suspensions are messed up because they vary by injury -- slash someone and break a bone, you get suspended; slash someone and give them a bruise, everyone laughs
but gronk actually concussed the dude
― mookieproof, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:46 (six years ago) link
yea you'd think that would be worse than the Talib fight, Gronk completely blindsided the dude
― frogbs, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:48 (six years ago) link
oh i didnt know he got a concussion. kick him out for the season them imo.

this is just a shitty move
― omar little, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:50 (six years ago) link
leading with the elbow into the back of his head...damn. i mean white is very very lucky (and gronk is lucky to be very very white tbqf.)
― omar little, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:51 (six years ago) link
i mean considering everything we know about this type of injury, what the actual fuck at 1 game, i can only imagine it's subconscious "great white hope funtimes 69 guy" BS that allowed that.
― omar little, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:53 (six years ago) link
Yeah, he did some kind of WWE move, clocking him in the back of the head with his robo-brace. It's one of the worst hits I've seen.
― Moodles, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:56 (six years ago) link
nice footwork tho
― mookieproof, Monday, 4 December 2017 21:57 (six years ago) link
it does look very goonish
― competitive shooter - - - - (Spottie), Monday, 4 December 2017 22:01 (six years ago) link
the leagues awful track record on these issues notwithstanding, i am fine with talib/crabtree getting more games than gronk.
― k3vin k., Monday, 4 December 2017 22:18 (six years ago) link
tho i am also open to the idea that they all deserved more
― k3vin k., Monday, 4 December 2017 22:20 (six years ago) link
gronk shdve gotten more than one game that was a very bad very late hit, amongst the worst in the modern safety conscious era
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 December 2017 23:37 (six years ago) link
talib i guess got one game for each chain he snatched, crabtree got dinged cause people seem to generally dislike him
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 December 2017 23:41 (six years ago) link
crabtree kind of strangled talib on the sideline and threw a punch that missed, so he did do something at least. i can understand him getting ejected, hard to untangle those on the spot, but he should never have been suspended. talib 2nd time chain snatching prob had to get a suspension. problem with suspension as a tool in the nfl of course is the difficulty of graduating its use, you only get 1/16th blocks. i don't think talib should've been suspended one eighth his whole season and i don't think gronk should've either.

fuck gronk imofuck the bills, too, though bc they suck

gronk was a hero to most but he never meant shit to mehi Roberto Spiralli!
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 00:48 (six years ago) link
HI :D
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 00:50 (six years ago) link
I still love the Bills, you understand; I just hate them
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 01:02 (six years ago) link
even tho the qb merry-go-round has been a shambles, i think they might at least have a good coach finally. and if white is still alive he looks really good.

what happened to shazier? scared to check the footage. taken to hospital w back injury.

oh no
― competitive shooter - - - - (Spottie), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 03:17 (six years ago) link
yeah it looked bad, play was stopped for quite a while

#22 on that LeVeon Bell run, wtf was that

what a shitshow

man alive another massive helmet shot on brown there.

never a doubt that the Steelers would come back to win this
― frogbs, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 04:53 (six years ago) link
anyway that was the kind of game that makes you want to quit watching football altogether

I only caught the postgame show but Steve Young looked like he was going to throw up.
JOHN GRUDEN called the game "disgusting".
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 20:13 (six years ago) link
if this had happened 10 years ago, the league would be selling fatheads of smith-schuster's hit
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 20:18 (six years ago) link
I posted this in the death spiral thread but it's kind of hypocritical for Gruden to say that given that he was complaining about penalty flags all game and revealed his man-crush for Burfict "despite all the fines"
― frogbs, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 20:20 (six years ago) link
yeah they were in fact straight up blaming the players while simultaneously propagating the culture that makes the players think this shit is desirable
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 5 December 2017 23:03 (six years ago) link
Suzy Kolber was especially trashy in that segment. Charles Woodson and Young and Gruden all seemed pretty messed up and were clearly trying to figure out what to say, but Kolber kept steering it back to how hardcore and badass it was. It was hard to take.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 5 December 2017 23:18 (six years ago) link
they all were feeling the tension of having to actually call the game and act like it's exciting/cool while acknowledging what had happened (except mcdonough, he dngaf and would have murdered the nfl all night i think)
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 00:40 (six years ago) link
Startin to wonder what gets you ejected anymore. Even the Arena League used to toss people for far less

Don't worry, I'm sure the next Ravens and Steelers game will take it to a new low. That division is all about the he-man tough guy thing.
― earlnash, Wednesday, 6 December 2017 05:40 (six years ago) link
that game was a good reminder that football isnt going to be around in 20 years. not in it's current form anyway.
