So Mono, you really don't think there is anything wrong with what Bill did and that nothing should happen to him?
Damn, that is even worse than I thought. Bill could have shattered that bone in his arm if that punch were just an inch to the left. Scary stuff.
Rudy T certainly does
He should be fined. No suspension. And honestly after a play like that, he deserves an explanation from the refs. For them to sprint off the field and not be held accountable is worse than Bill grabbing one by the arm. And unlike certain Redskins fans with a grudge, i'd have the same opinion if roles were reversed and Harbaugh was out there demanding an explanation. For any league to go Gestapo and treat players and coaches like , pretending like the refs don't ing blow, not holding refs accountable for such a piss poor performance, is stupid. The penalty on Harbaugh was stupid, and so is any backlash on what Belichick did.
I think the ref flopped a little, Bill obviously just wanted to shake his hand.
everyone in this thread going from hating the refs to sympathizing with the refs once that big meanie Belichick got mad at him.
So what exactly is so bad about grabbing a refs arm?
Strawman. No one is defending the refs for the terrible job they did. We are saying that there should never be a violent altercation with them.
Keep telling me about your deep concern for the ref's safety. I'm totally buying it.
Grabbing an arm is violent?
You don't have to buy it - you just have to acknowledge that your argument was a strawman. Not defending Bill does not equal defending the refs for the way they officiated.
Sprinting after the ref like a madman after yelling at them all game then trying to fight them is crossing the line.
"Not getting an explanation is worse than physically going after them"![]()
I said "sympathizing with the refs" as in you were feeling sorry for the poor widdle wef for getting his arm grabbed. That wasn't a strawman at all.
You said violent. What Bill did was violent? Yes or no.
Uh, if physical contact in a fit of rage is not violent, then I guess not.
Bill freaked out & it could have gotten really nasty if that aggressive swipe landed. Ref will probably have a red mark or a fracture (he had to quickly pull his arm out of danger to aviod any further damage). Plus he looked terrified that at his job he would be physically intimidated and assualted at his place of work. Ref might sue for damages in addition to what the NFL does. They can't have assualts going on.
Knowing Goodell and his penchant for being a tin-plated dictator, he'll probably suspend BB for two games.
If after cheatgate and the minor slap on the wrist that was, if Bill only gets two games, there is something fishy going on.
