He was looking remorseful because that hit in the head probably knocked his brain back into some sense and I love how the announcers downplay it because he looked like he made a mistake when that was clearly intentional, there was no reason to even tackle Adams in the position he was at that point. The sideline crap about remorse was probably him worried about his own head and why he’s losing the rest of his brain cells. Also, Adams giving the fan the finger is understandable especially since this is the second time he has been hit and they were both hits that could have ended his career.
The only remorse he had was when he realized how it was going to affect his pay check WHEN the fine is handed down.
I'd be a happier with 2 years lol... but I guess 2 games is more realistic.... especially since it seems like most of these get reduced to one game anyway.
The NFL knew about this whole concussion issue as they had previous players who retired having the same issues and it is finally catching up to them as the CTE brain disease makes sense to why repeated blows to the head would cause permanent damage. They hand painkillers around the league like it’s candy and because of the brain disease, we have Calvin Johnson retiring early which is exactly what I would do after learning more about CTE and how more and more former athletes are experiencing the same symptoms. The MLB took a big hit on $$$ after taking their performing enhancing drugs and testing for them more seriously because I enjoyed watching Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds hitting 50+ home runs every year but when they got serious on testing for steroids + anything else, I will be honest and say baseball is not as entertaining to watch without all the home run hitters I grew up watching. The NFL knows exactly what their doing by not getting serious with that because let’s be honest, have you looked at these NFL players in person and imagine how they got to the size they are? I’ve seen Julius Peppers and I could not believe how big he was, watching him on TV made me think he is a pretty big guy but I seriously did not imagine him that enormous. NFL is all about money and they will do whatever it takes to bring in more profit, I honesty believe football will be gone within 15 years because of the CTE brain disease issue as it is becoming more and more apparent that repeated blows to the head is causing permanent damage after these players retire and knowing that, you would have to be dumb to keep playing knowing your life after retirement will be hell and that it will bring dementia is enough for me to risk that.
Dirty is an understatement and the appeal will lead to a 1 game suspension which is idiotic because that is not enough punishment as you can see it’s not stopping players from doing it and what grounds does Davis have to appeal that? It is going to turn into a 1 game suspension because he will somehow convince the league that it wasn’t intentional and at point we must have been watching a different game because everyone including a Carolina fan can admit that was clearly intentional.
It makes you wonder how many deals Hoodie has made with the devil. This hit gets two games but Gronk's flagrant, after the whistle hit with a several step running start on a downed player only got 1 game.
You know what? I don't care if people stop watching up to the point of threatening NFL franchise bankruptcy. I don't think heftier suspensions or kneeling down for the national anthem gets you anywhere near close to that. In fact, despite all the consternation over the state of the game and the falling ratings, the league just sold another $2 billion in media rights.
The outrageousness and egregiousness of the Gronk hit should have been equated to a repeat offender.
