Gronk deserves to be suspended as many games as Tre misses, with a one game minimum. Expand I'd like to see them change to rule so if you hit a player after the play and it results in an injury you miss as many games as the injured player PLUS a normal suspension. 1

SoCal Deek Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Let me get this straight! Gronk gets one game for pile driving a defenseless player on national television and Elliot gets four games for an alleged incident with his wife??? Goodell is incompetent!

I know better than that. Expand I agree. The apology part was partially tongue in cheek. The dude doesn't care what he did, he apologized to help his suspension case. Frustrated is the worst excuse you could use. I don't see players down by 50 points as frustrated as he was getting pushed (which is what he tends to do on most plays).

Wo-Bah Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Gross. This is really discouraging. No wonder I can't stomach to watch this joke of a sport.
Kmart128 Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Should honestly be more. Mike Evans got one game for shoving Lattimore in the back. What Gronk did was worse. Targetted the head of the player and giving him a concussion. He should get 3 games. One for hitting player from behind like Evans, one for targeting head, and one more for hit resulting in injury Gronk better watch his back in 3 weeks. Someone is gonna get him back if they are only giving out one game for intentionally injuring players. 1

Expand Goodell is incompetent and Gronk did an elbow drop. (A pile driver completely different and not done in the WWE anymore) that said he should have gotten at least 2 if not 3 games.

He'll probably just make a 69 joke and get it dropped. i used to really respect him and his stupid meat head act. But that was straight thug move and if his back or knee gets blown out, I won't be sad in the least. its also sad that fans are more fired up than the players or coaches.
Mango Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 I hope they push his appeal until the Monday after week 17, no way the league drops it, and he misses a playoff game.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 4, 2017 Author Posted December 4, 2017 No mention of the suspension on the Patriots' website or twitter feed. I wonder why not?
