Garrett is getting what he deserved.
I didn't think pouncey should get three games. Gotta protect your QB. But he did kick the guy in the head while he was down, so thats that.
I had to look it up, but remember when Andre Johnson and Finnegan got into a fistfight, tearing each others helmets off? Finnegan was punking The Dre all game and Dre finally gave Finnegan all he wanted.
And Finnegan deserved it. I watched that live with delight.
Both were fined $25k and not suspended.
Fact is, if Garrett didn't swing that helmet, he likely would've been given just a fine. Maybe a game due to him being a troublemaker, and the NFL has a hard on for troublemakers.
You can say, "Oh, the Steelers QB grabbed his helmet, etc., etc." Maybe, I can't really argue that. But even if they did punish the QB, it'd probably be a fine only.
Its one thing if a fistfight breaks out. It's another when you knowingly use a blunt object as a weapon.
Also gotta consider this is the 100th anniversary of the NFL, so they won't play around with this.
this. also, i did see somewhere that Garrett will eventually get fined. either way, its a punishment for the steelers to have him playing than not
