This right here is the distinction that seperates other illegal hits. Talking heads calling this a 'late hit' are trying to legitimize and sweep under the rug the fact that this was an assault between plays of a football game and not part of the game itself. Scumbag admitted as much himself. This is just pretending it is not true because it can't be, too much money. CTE damaged brains and a carefully crafted insincere response. I remember watching Chief White Owl with his 'tomahawk chop' wrestle Dominic Dominucci and his sleeper hold. I guarantee there was not hundreds of millions bet on the outcome.;-)

I would not be disappointed if they stayed put, took a qb and filled a few positions with talent while bringing in a veteran qb. Rather start with a great oline and defense and give any qb a good chance at success.

The fact that a grinning psychopath like him can basically get away with first degree assault because he is really good at the game of football is disgusting. This event and the lack of consequence lay bare the ugliest side of this 'game'. Injuring a fellow player in a premeditated act of rage well after the play. A huge distinction and terrible precedent.

Why are people saying the Bills have too many draft picks to sign all those rookies? Rookies are a lot cheaper than veterans right? Get a lot of guys on rookie deals at positions that can contribute right away and pay up for a few select proven veterans at positions that require more development.

Calling it a late hit is an attempt to legitimize it as part of the game. It was an assault that was in no way part of a football play and Gronk even admitted it. Huge distinction imo.

Entitled fans? Wtf is that? Entitled to what?

At least it was during a play.

I hear ya, one time I was at work and the printer kept jamming up every time I tried to use it. I got so frustrated I shoved a guys head through the wall. I was so frustrated it was crazy. I apologized to the guy and I hope he is okay, but what did they expect? Should of fixed the machine. They told me to take a week off. What was I supposed to do?

If you hit him with a metal brace while he is face down after the play .........

He has the same agent as Jimbo Fisher and has been recruiting a top class for Oregon while knowing he was going to FSU. Watch how many follow him. Seems criminal. Sumlin to Oregon perhaps. Carousel of coaches.

About the suggestion to press charges, he has already admitted it was not a football play. He did it because he was frustrated. The video clearly shows the premeditated nature of the assault and the intentional use of the brace. Cowardly psychopathic move.

Evidently wearing a heavy metal club and ambushing the unsuspecting after the play while face down out of bounds is more effective.

A true mystery for sure.?

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.

He purposely used a big metal brace to smash the back of a guys head who is lying face down unsuspecting because the play was long over. He also wound up beforehand. 100% assault in no way part of a football play. What a cowardly despicable act by a guy 70 lbs heavier all because he was frustrated. Only one game is a joke. What a Scumbag I said the same thing about him using. He definitely looked jacked up on something.

I think he is using. Looked all out of control and crazy. It was 100% assault and had nothing to do with a football play. He also intentionally used the bulky metal brace to smash the back of his head. 1 game is far too lenient for such a cowardly despicable act. We don't even know how badly White is injured. Disgusting.

You are right, what Gronk did was even worse. Landry took a vicious cheap shot at AW on the field during a play. Gronk took a vicious cheap shot on White out of bounds well after the play while he was lying face down and he purposely used a metal brace to smash the back of his head. Both of them should have experienced retaliation. Amazing to me the Bills have played Miami since then and no one blasted him.

BOTH

I don't blame him for criticizing the lack of response. Any team that I ever played on would have had Whites back on that play. The Bills took the high road and how did that work out? Somehow they were the team that was penalized 15 and had to start 1st and 25. What would have been different if someone retaliated? McDermott and the Bills come away looking soft which is not a good look for a football team. At least they were good sports and got the moral victory. When do they award the Moral Victory trophy? I feel McD Bills could win multiple years and become a moral dynasty.

That is an hilarious mental picture. I would definitely keep it more simple. Nothing fancy, just a good old fashioned kick in the nuts.?

Yep, if he gets away with this where does it stop. It was not even close to being part of a football play, just an intentional assault well after the play resulting in injury. Far more egregious than a late hit or high hit imo.

At risk of being called an internet tough guy, I played many years of organized sports and if some goon stomped one of our guys like that after play was long over there would have been a melee with benches emptied. That was so far out of the bounds of sportsmanship there would have been outrage. Disgusting lack of reaction by the team, just like when Lucic ran Miller or Landry ended Williams' career. But this was worse because it was not during the flow of the game. This was more like Bertuzzi attacking from behind between play. Hopefully the result is not so tragic. Scumbag Gronkowski.

Moral Victory!!! Suck on that Pats! ?

I have been watching pro football a long time and I have never seen anything so deliberate, with such intention to injure, so long after the play. A real scumbag move, for no other reason than hurt pride. The antithesis of sportsmanship.
