The league is broken if he gets away with this. The league is probably broken anyways, but it's another log on the fire. The nflpa automatically files an appeal on the members behalf

No, the point being the suspension is 1 game and Tre White may be out longer and his career may be shortened all because Gronk can't control his emotions in a runaway win.

What did you think was going to happen. That he was going to get a 4 game suspension

Livinginthepast Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Well I was going to post Gronk's knee exploding vs the Browns on YouTube. But the NFL no like that linked from here. But check it out on YouTube and here's hoping that its deja vu soon for this slobbering idiot.
Shamrock Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 1 week seems pretty light in lieu of CTE and concussion. Warren Sapp's dirty hit on Clifton in the 2000's maybe forgotten by this dirty shot. Sapp's was at least in bounds, in play at the time... just "dirty". Late, Intentional, High to the Head, opposition player White, defenseless... Gregg Williams been asked to comment yet? But, I'm wrong, it was completely Ok as he was being held during the route and he was upset that that wasn't flagged (as long as we're ignoring his push off as well...).

Turk71 Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Is this the message the league wants to send? Winding up and smashing a face down player in the back of the head with a bulky metal brace while out of bounds, well after the play, in a move no way whatsoever part of a football play; Even admit that it wasn't, in fact you were just "really frustrated". Equals one game suspension. That is messed up. Teams can only lose a player for a game to take out a star while he is on the ground after the play is over? Wonder if those elbow braces will be more popular. Edited December 5, 2017 by Turk71
aceman_16 Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Well I hope and pray he appeals and they give it to him during the Pittsburgh game vs Miami.... sweet karma.
Doc Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Just lost a lot of respect for Larry Fitzgerald. And what an idiotic statement. The cretin's actions shouldn't hurt the team, but if White misses games as a result of the cretin's action, which hurts the Bills, it should only merit a fine? Time to retire Lar. CTE is starting to set in. Edited December 5, 2017 by Doc

Very interesting take from a guy who typically comes off very intelligent. “Heavy” 5 figure fines do not deter multimillionaires. That’s why there are so many throughout the season. Players don’t care. One player, can’t remember who, said he sets a couple hundred grand aside every season just for the fines he plans to rack up. A guy with Gronk’s money would laugh at a fine from the league and that’s not a punishment even close to fitting the crime in this circumstance.
Jacobo Peterman Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 The most egregious cheap shot since Packer Charles Martin body slammed Bear Jim McMahon in1986 which earned a two game suspension. A one game suspension sounds like a back room deal between Foxboro and Park Ave.. NFLPA will make Gronk file an appeal and stretch out the decision so he sits out next Buff game. Next Monday night game is Pats Dolphins then Pitt @ 4:30... Follow the money people TV ratings are down and the NFL wants Gronk the next two weeks .. most likely would play very little in the 16th game against the Jets anyway unless it means home field. 1

I'm afraid this speaks to how the Bills are viewed around the league, unfortunately...just a speedbump for the Patriots in the AFCE, and Fitzgerald's response pretty much confirms it. Here we have a DROY candidate who got put into the protocol and all Fitzgerald mentions is how Gronkowski's suspension will effect the Pats. Sobering imo.

I don’t much care how the Bills are viewed around the league tbh. I just think his comment is stupid.

I can understand it in that a player doesn't want to call for another player to be suspended, and are going to generally be for their union-mates suffering the least amount of punishment possible. What I hated was there was no acknowledgement of White and how his injury effects...you know...the team the Patriots were playing on Sunday.
