  1. Thunderingsquid brought this to our attention that Gronk has this show called "Unsportsmanlike Comedy with Gronkowski". It will air in January at the start of NFL playoffs. Does this draw unnecessary attention to the dirty hit? Or to Gronk? Or to the show? Does he benefit from it directly or indirectly because of the hit?

    Trump is too liberal for me, pal.

     

    My story is that I think he's a clean player.  I haven't changed that story once.  He's the best TE in football and he's a pleasure to watch.  He just made a bad mistake on Sunday.

     

    You are spineless - you say he's clean one minute. when I provide evidence to the contrary you admit he isn't. And the next comment you say again he's clean. You are a moron.

    He is clean.  Perfect?  No.  But clean - in general - over a 7-year career?  You betcha.

     

    If he was a Buffalo Bill, you'd agree.

     

    3 FINES and suspensions over the last three seasons. Sounds like a repeat offender to me!  And YET YOU CALLED HIM CLEAN! JUST A SINGLE POST AGO - YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR STORY STRAIGHT. LET ME GUESS - YOU LEARNED THIS FROM TRUMP RIGHT?

     

    If he was a Buffalo Bill, I would want him SUSPENDED FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON.

    BIG deal.  Go watch synchronized SWIMMING if you CAN'T HANDLE a little CONTACT.

     

    It's a big deal because YOU SAID GRONK WAS CLEAN. HE ISN'T. Gronk has A HISTORY OF FIGHTING AND BEING FINED FOR IT IN THE LEAGUE. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE between him and other guys? HE IS WHITE.

    I wanted 4.

     

    Would have been okay with 2.

     

    Not shocked that it was 1.  Primarily because Gronk's been a clean player for his entire career.  That doesn't justify what he did, but it does (to me) explain the suspension being only one game.

     

    WRONG.

     

    Gronk's been fined TWICE just 2 years ago: 

    Quote

    Two instances immediately come to mind. Gronkowski was fined $8,268 in 2015 for fighting near the end of the Patriots' Super Bowl XLIX victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Earlier that season, he had also been fined $8,268 for unnecessary roughness against Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sergio Brown.  - ESPN

     

    Here's what Gronk said about the brawl in superbowl:

     

    Quote

    Rob Gronkowski told Jimmy Kimmel earlier this week that he entered the fracas because, "Screw it, last game of the year, I'm throwing some haymakers."

     

    He's a thug, just bec. he's white and playful personality he got away with it. He was never clean.

     

    More condemnation of NFL - 

     

  7.  

    For those saying national media was downplaying Gronk hit, here are two journalists who are on the other side. And Kornheiser is right - NFL is lawless. It is out of control. The hits on MNFL were ridiculous. I was upset seeing them. It just isn't fun and games. Those players are likely seriously injured. This needs to stop. It's on Goddell AND the owners who cherry pick which rule enforcement they like and which they don't.

    I agree with Jim and Aaron Williams that the Bills should have retaliated against Gronkowski. IMO, this is worse than the Milan Lucic hit on Ryan Miller.  

     

    Oh man, I saw that hit live. I was pissed Sabres didn't kill Lucic. This feels like that ALL OVER AGAIN. I'm not a hockey fan, but loved those Sabres teams back in their days. Man I should've known to hate any Boston team from then on.  

     

     

    Kelly is RIGHT to call out Bills players. Their response was WEAK. And NFL's 1 game suspension? EVEN WEAKER.

    I did nothing of the sort.

     

    I agreed with another user that he should be suspended for the remainder of the regular season.

     

    I'm sorry I'm not in the "tar, feather, castrate, then decapitate," camp.

     

    It's a !@#$ing game.  It's a !@#$ing tough game and bad things happen sometimes.

     

    Gronk is not a dirty player.  He is a great player who made a stupid mistake.  Big !@#$ing deal.

     

    LOL deny deny deny.

     

    I never asked for Gronk's head.  He should be PUNISHED. But deflecting, calling our anger at a brutal criminal MUGGING as "NOTHING" is AN ACT OF APPROVAL FOR GRONK'S HIT. you just CONDONED HIS ACT. that's INEXCUSABLE. REGARDLESS OF WHICH TEAM YOU ARE A FAN OF.

    It's not changing the subject.  It's simply putting this into perspective.

     

    I'm interested in the reactions of fans to certain things.

     

    We have people calling for Gronk to be suspended into the playoffs.  That's 5 games at a minimum.

     

    This is the same league that gave Zeke Elliott 6-games for beating up a defenseless woman.  The most, I believe, for a domestic abuser.

     

    And, somehow, people think Gronk's hit on White is almost as bad?  I'm sorry, but I disagree.

     

    I'm also sorry that you're so angry about this.

     

    I hope you can find some happiness in your day.

     

    It's not perspective Gugny. You clearly excused Gronk for the hit. You need to admit, own it, and be a man about it.

    I'm not changing the subject.

     

    There's a lot more domestic abusers than Ray Rice, you know.

     

    Remember, Joe Mixon broke a pregnant girl's face ... then got drafted.  Where was the uproar?

     

    I'm not deflecting.  I just don't think what Gronk did was criminal.  I think it was stupid.  I think it was dirty.  I think it was wrong.

     

    You better call your IT guy.  There's something wrong with either your Shift button or your Caps Lock button.

     

    Have a good day, eh.

     

    wow you're not capable of admitting what you just WROTE - we are discussing GRONK'S HIT ON TRE WHITE and you CHANGED THE SUBJECT TO DOMESTIC ABUSE.

     

    CAN YOU READ MISTER GUGNY?  Do I need to make BIGGER FONTS FOR YOU? I guess you do - here you go in bigger letters:

     

     

    we are discussing GRONK'S HIT ON TRE WHITE and you started discussing DOMESTIC ABUSE. That's called "changing the subject".

     

    let me add it again, it's not ok, it's never ok to abuse women or men or children for that matter. NEVER EVER. but that's a topic worthy of its own thread. Just own up to your error Gugny. OWN IT. DON'T SQUIRM YOUR WAY OUT OF IT LIKE GRONK IS TRYING TO.

    Do you get this angry every time an NFL player beats up a woman or a child?

     

    It's interesting to me that, over the years, the most angry I've seen Bills fans is when players knelt for the anthem and this dirty play.  But domestic violence?  Nah.

     

    Oh I do. Ray Rice has NO BUSINESS doing this to a woman. 

     

    BUT YOU, ARE TRYING TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT - YOU ARE COWARDLY IN TRYING TO DEFLECT - YOU HAVE MADE AN ERRONEOUS STATEMENT ABOUT A CRIMINAL ACT AS NOT BEING CRIMINAL. AND NOW ARE TRYING TO DEFLECT. THAT'S COWARDLY. YOU ARE COWARDLY MR. GUGNY. 

     

    But you got MY POINT. If I did that to you, that's criminal. But according to YOU it's ok for Gronk to do that to Tre White? When it CLEARLY ISN'T PERMITTED IN THE GAME OR IN LIFE. GET A GRIP ON YOUR OWN HIDEOUS FAULTY LOGIC MR. GUGNY. YOU CAN'T ADD 1 TO 1.

    Hyperbole much?

     

    It was a dirty hit.  Very dirty.  But no one came close to dying and he shouldn't be brought up on criminal charges.  This wasn't a curling match, for Christ's sake. 

     

    Why don't you lay down face down WEARING A HELMET and let me drop a 275 lb weight on the back of your head because I'm mad at you. Let's call it "weight training". You cool with that Mr. Gugny?  Or let's do that to your son. Or daughter. Let's call it "fun". let's call it "hypberbole".  You ok with that?

  14. I have never been so angry about an incident in a football game in all my life. I was angry for three reasons.

     

    1) It was as you OP said, CRIMINAL act. More barbaric than the fight between talib and crabtree. It was NOT spontaneous. Occurring a few good moments of time had passed after the interception, it was full of intent to injure. It was OBVIOUSLY outside the bounds of the game. It IS a criminal assault, just like in the Bertuzzi hit. Gronk should be charged!

     

    2) Tre was our best young player. He was our FUTURE. He was our FOUNDATION PLAYER. What does the horrible cheating Patriots do?  They send a THUG after him to make sure they ROB us of our future

     

    3) Who knows how well he is going to be going forward. You are never the same after a concussion. This is why I used the word "was" because you won't see the same version of Tre again. Concussion changes you. You are now prone to more concussions with minor hits and incidents. Your brain just doesn't process as fast as it used to. (I know because I have had multiple concussions and it just gets harder and harder.) Rob just impaired Tre for the rest of his life. That's criminal. Unforgivable. COWARDLY.

    then we fire the coach and start over

     

    Which is what we did last year. What's frustrating is, ok, McDermott has looked like a good coach early on, but as we are finding out, he isn't as creative and flexible in coming up with schemes like Belichick. Even though he cheated, that coach has also been ingenious getting great results with flawed personnel. We need coaches who can do half of what he does. Otherwise we will keep looking up to them and the rest of the NFL. 

     

    Pegulas have no experience in sports management and we're seeing the results thus far in both franchises they own. They have relied on their interpersonal interviewing skills to determine talent for executive hires. And it isn't working thus far in this business. They could use some consultants.

    The same coaching staff that thought Peterman was ready to start and a better option than TT were the ones he pushed Reggie Ragland down the depth chart. 

     

    Reggie sure looked quick to me as he ran through our offensive line twice to tackle one of the best running backs in the league for a loss.

     

     

     

    Ragland needed to be traded to a 3-4 team. I was ok with trading him. Not ok with getting only a 5th rounder. He's looking every bit a 2nd rounder on KC defense. Not quite 1st rounder - he can't cover nobody's grandma on routes.

    Our worst guy in pass coverage is Preston brown, and this guy was so much worse than brown at coverage that we had him on the scout team.  

     

    Yeah it's like the schemes we use keep exposing our players. At some point, coaches have to be way more flexible in employing talent that we have - you can't friggin get every toy you want for every position there is. As much as I hate Belicheat, that's what he does every single year - adjusts his schemes for his talent! And what do our coaches do time after time?  try and change the frigging players out bec. they don't fit their schemes!  

     

    We've already swapped out the secondary. we gotta replace our defensive line who are aging, and we got an old guy and undrafted players as our LB core. And we still need help on offense, QB, WRs. There aren't enough quality draft picks to get all the new starters for a whole brand new spankin team!
