First player to ever do it. That's what he will be known for. Career move. Won't matter how many sacks he has.

Face mask with bonus,15 yd penalty, get over it.

Sadly, I agree. Even non-sports media is highlighting last night's fight, and certainly not in a good way. Myles has done great things on and off the field, but this will be his defining moment for the foreseeable future.

Embarrassing and inexcusable. The QB already had a concussion this year and he hits him on the head with his helmet. He'll see a long suspension.

I understand the heat of the moment reaction in a adrenaline fueled moment in an adrenaline fueled sport - but Myles was in the wrong in a big way. I'm confident he is wishing he would have handled it differently, but what is done is done.

I'm sure the league will come down hard on him and he certainly deserves some significant level of consequence. My worry is Rudolph, his agent, or team encouraging pressing legal charges against him - which would threaten his career and freedom.

Not the first player to ever do it.

With a national TV audience watching? Show me the tape.

Bunch of pansies around here don't understand football. This is why we always lose.

I think swinging a helmet full speed at the head of another player is a terrible thing to do. I must be a football idiot.

---

It is a terrible thing. Nobody is saying it isn't. But not about to crucify him. Hand out the punishment. Move on.

Staph keep it up. It's an opinion. Differing opinion but shouldn't be taken down.

It's not just the difference of opinion, it's the fact that it's embarrassing. Imagine a Tennessee message board starting an "I Stand with Albert Haynesworth" after he stomped Andre Gurode's head. It's a bad look.

I would find it funny. This is what happens though when you have one side calling for death penalty. The other extreme happens. Just don't let it cloud judgement.

Garrett has no history of dirty play. He was provoked and over reacted. Luckily, it did not cause a serious injury.

Hopefully the league doesn't overreact. Based on precedent, 5 games is the max. Someone in the other thread said that have 6 left, so he might get that so they can say they suspended him for remainder of the season, which sounds worse.

Ryan Clark has it right this AM, and he's a former steeler.

Not defensible, big suspension. But it's not criminal. It's the worst PUBLIC football fight but that's it. Dudes have had their head stomped on as a defenseless not initiator. And he says he's seen worse on the practice field over his career.

This is what I'm thinking.

Frankly, I can understand Myles' "Losing it" like he did.

I don't excuse it, and from listening to his responses so far, neither does he.

He made a big ass mistake.

He is not justifying it or making excuses.

He will take his punishment and carry on.

My boys will still think of him as an excellent player and any judgment on his character will really now depend upon how he responds to this mistake.

"Yeah, he screwed up, but he is only human." Here's a lesson for you, don't respond in the heat of the moment if you can avoid it.

He still sacked the quarterback in his first ever play in the NFL: He's still a badass. A human badass who makes mistakes, but still a badass.

Some Aggies are looking thuggish and tasteless.
Just when they cheered wildly when Colt McCoy was taken out. I would hope the great majority of Ags are far better than that and don't condone this type of behavior.

Except Colt was actually hurt. See the difference?

Who is Colt McCoy? Is he related to Cart McCoy?

Didn't know he passed concussion protocol already?
So just don't hit him without a helmet on to be out of line but give him another concussion or make him bleed to justify his behavior? You need serious help.

If Myles is the man we know/knew him to be - he doesn't need us to tell him he did wrong. That said... there were escalations on all sides.

1.Myles takes the QB to the ground after he's gotten rid of the ball.
2. QB goes after Myles' helmnet
3. Myles goes after QB's. (Far more effectively).
4. 3 players go after Myles (including a helmnet-less QB)
5. Myles swings at QB's head

We don't know Myles' side of the story yet. Maybe Mason said something disparaging about Texas A&M, the SEC or some other part of his family and he was triggered. Let's hear all sides before judging.
