Was just coming to see if this was posted or not. It's indirectly a $100k fine or so too, due to loss of the game check.

Good work, NFL.

If this one gets overturned on appeal then the whole process is a joke.

Should have been tossed immediately then fined later. Not sure how he didn't get tossed in the first place.

Yeah, I feel like it should be two games since he wasn't ejected from the game where he headbutted the dude.

Was there even a flag for hitting a "defenseless" player?

I swear Luck's Colts are getting some shady deals from the Refereeing on the League's behalf... like they are trying to build up Luck and the Colts as its Money team like it was with Peyton.

The thing is though... take away Luck's HoF WR and he's not so One of a Kind Amazing is he?

Two things about this

1) I really think that the NFL should change these suspensions. If the teams are to meet again during the season then he should be suspended for that game. In this case they do meet in December and the Titans should benefit from the suspension and not Washington

2) Some dude commenting on ESPN tried to argue that he didn't realize / consider that the other guy didn't have a helmet on any longer.... kind of funny you know considering how he lost the helmet

If you don't have a helmet on, and the guy you confront and get in his face does..... you lose. :34853_doh:
