1: The fact that Myles Garrett said nothing about any racist comments by Mason Rudolph during the scrum is GOOD. Not BAD.
He said nothing about this until he was behind closed doors, assuming (hahaha poor kid) that what he said in that appeal would be kept confidential.
2: The "race card" is played too often, obviously, but now Garrett is being compared to "Empire" star Jesse Smollett, (who deliberately fabricated an assault by two "Trump supporters"), for having said in a closed hearing that Rudolph made a racist comment.
My God. Once you people get a guy on the ground, you just can't stop stomping him. More blood! More pain heehee! See that he grabbed my ankle what more proof do we need (kick-stomp).
It's disgusting.
I'm personally between a rock and a hard place here. I was once accused of racial slurs in one incident, and some of my superiors even bought that bullshit.
I find it hard to believe that Mason Rudolph (or any NFL player) could be a racist in 2019.
On the other hand, I cannot accept that Myles Garrett would lie about what he heard.
As I posted last time, I suspect that Garrett heard something Rudolph said wrong, or maybe Rudolph said "I'll kick your black ass" or something like that:
(This is common; black players say that stuff to other black players, and "your pink ass" to white players and stuff. It's a bad habit, but not racist---often banter between teammates and friends.) (Note: No snowflakes here).
But it is possible that Garrett hearing "bigger" the wrong way, or any reference to his race at all, while being bumb-rushed by an obviously unhinged Rudolph and his goon squad, could have been the last straw.
And hell YES, I would cite that in my closed, private appeal hearing as a mitigating factor.
Myles should have known that one or more of the scumbags involved would race to leak this assertion, and that the whole world would crucify him for it.
Mason Rudolph is not a racist. Myles Garrett is not Colon Kaperdick, or a liar. He said none of this in public for Rudolph's and the NFL's benefit. He DID NOT just "make it up".
Get up off Myles Garrett, you sick sadistic maniacs, and rescind your cannonization of Mason Rudolph.
Sigh...of course using the helmet as a weapon blahblah no excuse blahblah could have blahblah inexusable blahblah I gotta spell this out again blahblah...
Anyway good for Freddie Kitchens for really having Garrett's back.
And why the hell is everybody saying Garrett said he heard "nigger"!?! He heard something, but nobody has said what! Garrett is being attacked for telling the NFL that Mason Rudolph used that word when the leak never said that!!!
Give it a couple days, and people will be bashing
Pat Kirwan must read this blog, as he sees the Browns top 2 passrushers (Garrett/Vernon) out (plus Ogunjobi) and thinks Fitzpatrick will have time to torch the surviving defense.
However, I expect Mayfield and company to go nuts and pile up points and outscore Fitzmagic anyway.
Kirwan and Miller point out that the Fins' anti-run stats are obsolete, as that defense has been tough on the run over the last few games.
...but Nick Chubb has trampled some of THE best run defenses in the NFL, and that was before Karreem Hunt came back on line.
Frankly, I don't get how Kirwan thinks the Dolphins D might be the one to stop (or slow down) Nick Chubb (or Kareem Hunt).
The Browns' offense has been subjected to a "murderer's row" of top NFL defenses, and the Chubb/Hunt version is just getting started.
Baker Mayfield isn't washed up just yet, either.
Fitzpatrick might torch the depleted Browns' defense somewhat, but Mayfield and the offense should dominate and score more points than he can.
Browns 75, Fins 50.
