     The game was over.   But no, he was pissed off because he, again, didn't get any sacks.  He is apparently quite concerned with his personal sack count.  He wants to lead the league.  -  It certainly wasn't frustration that his team was losing another game.

    True.... the frustration was all Rudolph's... although having just completed a pass to one of his players for a change, one has to wonder if removing MG's helmet was part of a planned celebration.

    But can we please put the "game was over... pad sack total" bullshit to rest.

    The Steelers ran a play.

    Both teams played.

         well, it's surely has to be a fact, that the steelers didn't want to face Garrett a second time.....so....

    Garrett was faced with the following:

    -two on one fight he was being subdued by one individual and the threat of attack was coming.  Garrett was already assaulted by Rudolph it would be reasonable for Garrett to believe he was going to be assaulted again- he’s justified in protecting himself but The question hinges upon: Was his show of force excessive given the circumstances?  

    While your depiction of this incident is accurate, reason is no longer a factor.

    Remember when SNL was at least a little funny?

    It still is... in fact it's very funny. Some nights more than others and some skits more than others, but the past couple seasons stand with the best of the "golden era" of SNL.

    Try taking in an entire show someday.

     Trying to inflict harm to another player by swinging a helmet at his unprotected head when the play is over is not football.

    Are you secretly Goodell??? You've using his arguments...

    I've tried. But it's just not funny, even the studio audience doesn't laugh most of the time.

    So Myles used the NFL Player Agreement and the 2013 Smith Incognito suspension as his rule & precedent in the appeal. If Thrash is fair the suspension will be reduced, require meeting with the commish to determine any requirements from him and the indefinite lifted.

    You got yourself a big IF there.    As noted many times....the optics are bad, and the publicity over it is bad....but the impact was basically non-existent. And the provocation issue...should, to some extent, be a mitigating factor...given the lack of harm.

    That does not constitute exoneration,  but it would, normally, count for mitigation.   Their concern over image may outweigh the desire to be "fair".

    For the record I was joking and not signing onto Kal's latest(?) Konspiracy theory...

    And I  hope he brought  along  a few pictures, especially the ones showing  Rudolph trying to  rip his helmet off  and the groin  kick. That should be  taken  into account  as mitigating circumstances.

    However I did a little research on James Thrash. He's heavily into Christianity and gives frequent talks at churches. Don't underestimate Myles' ability to convey his true personality, his abhorrence of drugs/alcohol and his devotion to his off field relationship with Waterboys who will retain him as a Captain even in light of last Thursday night. And also his support for Multiple Sclerosis through "My Cause, My Cleats".

    Holding up his character cannot hurt.   Will it help?  Remains to be seen.
