Also, while I don't approve of Donald swining a helmet and hitting a player follow the link and scroll through the photos. There is a picture of a Bengals player wielding a Rams helmet. So if the league does get involved and suspend players, the Bengals won't get away unscathed.

I'm just not a fan of the joint practices in general. I get the idea of testing your players against another team, but you have no control over those other 80 guys and that can lead to these types of moments. Imagine if Donald takes a shot at Burrow and knocks him out for the first few weeks of the season. Just no sense in doing it.

I know they all do them, still not a fan of it. No defensive player is going to going to risk the franchise and take a shot at Burrow, but I know I read about day one of this joint practice Donald tapping Burrow. Granted, that is just a tap, but no one on the Bengals defense is going to do that. Next time Donald rushes, maybe he is pissed and does more then tap or Burrow moves awkwardly to avoid him. I understand the good, but the first time a team loses a star player in one of these joint practices due to someone being pissy like Donald was and no one will do them for awhile.

"Actual or threatened violence against another person" - check 

"Assault and/or battery" - check

"Violent or threatening behavior toward another employee in any work place setting" - check

and another that says:

"Conduct that poses a genuine danger to the safety and we'll being of another person" - check

Someone please explain to me how or why he shouldn't be punished? Even if you don't agree that this was Assault point 3 alone is enough to warrant the NFL stepping in, even though it's a practice. Using the excuse of "it's practice" is the dumbest thing I've ever heard when it comes to a situation like this. 




On a completely unrelated note - How did the defense do? I feel like that has been completely lost in this situation.

Shut down Kupp and the running game.

Trying to strike others with not one, but 2 helmets. That's literally assault and arguably assault with a deadly weapon. That's the kind of shit that shouldn't be tolerated. ANYWHERE.

Until we meet them again Winter 2023

I picked the Bills to win the opener honestly.
