I read a few other articles today and they said the recent standard has been 4 games off- but I'm thankful for 1 anyway. Still, it really makes you wonder....how much worse of a cheap shot can you get? If the going rate was 4 games, he should have received 6.
I saw it again and noticed the way he forearmed the dude's head. I was wondering how he seemed so woozy afterwards. So he jumped on him while nailing him in the back of the head. Terrible shot. How is that only 1 game? Oh right, they play a monster prime time game against the Steelers in a couple of weeks for home field in the playoffs. Thanks NFL. This is why I don't take you as seriously anymore.
Who got 4 games? I can only think of 1 player getting close to that and they were a repeat offender. I can't think of anyone else who even got 1. 1 game is fine.
Can't believe that douchebag appealed it. Although, really, I guess I'm not surprised. Loser. Glad they upheld it though. Still should have been longer.
I'm fine with it if somebody in 2 weeks takes a cheap shot at Gronk's cement head and puts him out for the season. I also hope that person apologizes the same way Gronk did after the game by making excuses about never getting calls and blaming the refs and his frustration with the situation more than sincerely apologizing. That's called karma.
