Yesterday, Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey and Browns defensive end Myles Garrett attempted to appeal their suspensions. As you know, Garrett was handed an indefinite suspension for clubbing Mason Rudolph in the head with his own helmet, and Pouncey was initially given three games for punching and kicking Garrett in retaliation.
While Pouncey was able to get his suspension reduced, Garrett wasn’t so fortunate. Now, the Browns star pass rusher is starting to make a fool out of himself. In one last-ditch effort to justify his senseless actions against Rudolph on Thursday Night Football, Garrett now came out with a claim that the Steelers quarterback uttered a ‘racial slur’ at him just before he decided to swing the helmet that connected with Rudolph’s head.
