Pittsburgh Steelers safety Mike Mitchell went off today during the team’s open media session.
“This is football. If you want to see flag football, let’s take our pads off,” the Steelers safety said. “I feel like I gotta ask I guy ‘hey, are you ready for me to hit you right now.’”
His outburst was in regards to the NFL’s random dishing out of suspensions, such as one game for a clearly dirty and egregious hit from Rob Gronkowski far after the whistle and then one game for Juju Smith-Schuster, who also had a dirty hit (on Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict) but while making a football play.
