I see where I caused some confusion. What I should have stated is that Rudolph kicked Garrett in the nuts before Garrett ripped Rudolph's helmet off.
Garrett actually has Rudolph's jersey in his left hand and uses it to pull him closer so he can grab the facemask - no kick.
[/QUOTE] I haven't denied he kicked him (although it's actually more of a get-off-me push with his foot because he's getting his head ripped off). I disputed that the kick came before the facemask and unlike these dumb still photos I can prove it by watching the video and sharing. Here is the actually "kick".
One question: Is Rudolph's helmet still on his head when he "pushed" Garrett with his foot? That would require either a "Yes" or a "No" answer.
The person who first posted this is a scumbag because if he/she had access to this footage they had access to the reverse angle and could clearly see Mason didn't go for Myle's nuts.
Ahhhh... I see. So you're now saying that the kick came before Myles successfully removed his helmet. You're better than this Lym. You floated out a comment in defense of Garrett with the idea that he only pulled the helmet off in retaliation for getting kicked in the nuts. That is false. Garrett went nuts and no one knows why. Mason isn't without some blame, he was the first one to grab for a helmet without question. But someone unsuccessfully removing your helmet doesn't get the blame when you go full Charles Manson.
Then, Sir. Why didn't you post a video from the point in time in question? Nobody is disputing what Garrett did after he ripped your little princess's helmet off, was being restrained by DeCastro and charged by Rudolph. You chose to post a video of the event that nobody is disputing.
No, you didn't. The video you posted starts with Garrett already holding onto Rudolph's helmet and being restrained by DeCastro..
I'm not missing anything. I realize I'm not the most technologically advanced old fart on the planet. But I do remember how to read and I can still watch a video with some degree of comprehension. The video you posted that allegedly shows the "foot push" starts at a point in time where everyone is back on their feet.
New take? watching all of the videos you've been posting, it appears to me that Garret was at the point of letting it go once he'd gotten the helmet, but when Rudolph rushed him, he went off. Regardless of what was said, he should never have swung the helmet. Up to that point it was just another example of two guys mixing it up, and would have been largely a non incident (penalty, fine, etc...). When Rudolph charged him, something triggered Myles. Nothing justifies his actions at that point, and it definitely calls into question his mental state, he was under the influence, or simply went out of control. In any case he has earned punishment. I have to wonder how a guy who takes a shot to the face from a fan without responding, but does what he did in this game, jibes. Something is off, and it just may be Garret's psyche. Counseling!
