Looks like  I missed a good football game. I was curled up on the couch watching hockey with my dog whimpering all night.

59:52 of it was good. Then Miles Garrett had some sort of stroke that made him think it was a good idea to use Rudolph's helmet like a billy club. Will probably cost him a couple of games.

Make that the rest of the season, possibly more.

Yeah, he will be made an example. I wouldn't be surprised if criminal charges are filed too.

He's not had a great year behavior wise:

Garrett had already been fined more than $50,000 this season, for punching Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker and for a pair of late hits on New York Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian, the second of which knocked Siemian out for the season with an ankle injury.

I would be, especially since Rudolph did kinda start it on the ground there. Plus, no one wants to be "that guy" in the locker room, the one who filed charges cause he got hit with his own damn helmet. Hell, someone did this same thing a few years ago, and only got a 2 game suspension, I believe. I guess connecting with the head is infinitely worse than missing it?

I wasn't aware of that. Thought this was a first.

It was a Dolphins/Texans game 6 years ago. Back then, the coach had to submit it to the league office for review. Times they are a-changin'.

EDIT: And for this, he was suspended 2 preseason games and week 1.

Well, there was also this:

Before Garrett, the longest ban in NFL history came in 2006, when then-Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was suspended five games for ripping the helmet off of Dallas Cowboys center Andre Gurode and kicking and stomping on his face.

Howdy, Flip. How are you feeling these days?

Long two days in Commieland NW.  No more air travel until after Thanksgiving.

On the bright side that first cigar after a break is so great.  Gotta make it a good one.

Agreed. Good to rest the palate.
