CommonCents Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Montreal fans wanted the authorities to press charges on Chara for his hit on Max P. a few years back, I don't remember how that ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzalez was a far better TE obviously. that is not to say Robert does not have some serious skills at his craft. Like pushing off.. jk Gonzales was a great receiving TE, but Gronkowski was/is simply unstoppable. For a decade or more, he’s been the dominant non-QB on the greatest NFL dynasty of all time. (God, it hurts to write that.) Gonzalez put up great career receiving numbers, but he never won squat and he never impacted the game like Gronkowski.

Shamrock Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 9 hours ago, Misterbluesky said: Wasn't a hockey player charged with assault before because of a stick incident? I think an Australian Rules Football player was charged with assault for ‘king’ hitting another player. As punching is against the rules and unsportsmanlike, the guy coping the whack from behind had had enough and pressed charges. AFL is rife with these acts.

Shamrock Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 8 hours ago, ShadyBillsFan said: Instead he got a fine equivalent to a slap on the hand. White weighs like 80kg and Gronk 120kg. That’s 150% bigger, a huge differential when hitting... (defenceless...) if Ted Washington got up some momentum and dove onto a prone Gronk, all whilst wearing a solid forearm guard... it’s a Merry Melodies cartoon right there.

Doc Brown Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 This new rule should be passed and it should be called the Gronk rule. It's a no brainer like Gronk imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 16 hours ago, Misterbluesky said: If the Gronkowski head blow would have taken place on a public street or in the hallway of a shopping mall..he would have been charged with felony assault.That hit still makes me sick ...in addition,White could have sued him for pain and suffering. To be fair, if a textbook football tackle happened to someone in those locations, they would also likely be charged with a felony assault...... What's the new rule going to be? Big Frat boy d-bags are allowed direct headshots on defenceless players after the whistle? Cause as long as he is in a Pats jersey they wont make a rule that will punish him for doing something......
