Big Turk Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 That's pretty petty by Garrett to lie about something like that
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 lol @ ESPN accusing someone of racist talk. color me *shocked* 2 1
PoBills33 Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Pretty sure he would be pissing off a bunch of members of his own team doing something like that out on the field. I find this very unlikely...more like Garrett trying to reduce his suspension.

He would have to prove it cause him grievous financial harm...it hasn't at least not unless some company won't use him for endorsements now...but who is using the backup QB for endorsements
BillsFan692 Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Saying a racial slur doesn't make it okay to beat someone in the head with an NFL helmet. Sorry -- that's not how any of this works. Even your momma tells you two wrongs don't make it right! He's just trying to make up an excuse for his poor behavior for which there is no excuse. 4
Dopey Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Mason was asked and he did say nothing was said to make Myles get pissed. Pretty sure I saw this on ESPN. I would assume using a racial slur falls under that. I'm leaning to Mason didn't use a racial slur. Just my take. Edited November 21, 2019 by Dopey
Kirby Jackson Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 This is about to get interesting!! It’s a smart play by Garrett’s people. That’s a strong defense from them. If Mason turns around and sues him for defamation of character that’s a strong play as well. Everyone puts their strongest hand on the table and see how it plays out. 1
ndirish1978 Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Definitely worthy of assault with a weapon. 2

If he gets found out to be lying, I don't care to ever see this dude play again. 3 1

It's demonstrably false given that it was just stated now, and none of the Steeler's players, including Pouncy, back this up. You think Pouncy goes as bizzark on Garrett if Rudolph used a racial slur? Nope. I hope the NFL ADDS to Garrett's suspension for making up such a serious accusation. 3 1
ngbills Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 For Bills own self interest would be good if true. NFL suspend him for a few games as well. Steelers losses to CIN, CLE or AZ would be huge.

But it’s hard to explain the feeling of someone calling You certain words. Like it’s hard for someone who isn’t that background to ever get what getting called the n word or the c word can do to you. I grew up that If you take ?, you get hit. I think the word would be better if people did that instead of fight on social media. that said, the timing doesn’t really fit. And if Garrett is lying, he should get sued and be held accountable.
whatdrought Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 It was said at the time that Rudolph could have pressed criminal charges against Garrett (who knows if it would have gone anywhere) but decided not to as it was a football matter... Some howdydo if Garrett is now lying about this. I wouldn't be shocked if Rudolph did say something racist. Doesn't justify Garrett's defense, and it's a horrible call by his legal team as it's completely unprovable (as far as it seems at least) which just begs to be viewed as pandering for an excuse. 1

It’s certainly risky but it’s the only hand that he had. It’s going to end up as he said, he said. They are going to try to pin Rudolph as a MAGA loving racist because of his political views. If Garrett is lying, I agree, they should add on. If he’s telling the truth it probably gets reduced (still think he’s done for this year) and Rudolph gets punished too. Rudolph should immediately file a lawsuit if it’s false. This was the only play that Garrett had to gain sympathy and back the NFL into a corner. It’s kind of like the Justin Fields situation at UGA (although that had further documentation). His waiver was going to be granted no matter what because the NCAA didn’t want to look complicit in any way. This accusation applies pressure to the NFL that they don’t want. This is a conversation and issue that they don’t want playing out in public.
