A rivalry out of control

By now, you've probably seen this.....



8 seconds remaining in the game. Cleveland's already won. And Myles Garrett, who'd later claim he'd lost his cool in the heat of the moment, decides to all but go postal on Pittsburgh QB Mason Rudolph?

That hissing sound you hear is the momentum balloon losing air after the Browns won their second straight, a hard fought (no pun intended) victory that will be remembered for Garrett's bout with immaturity more so than the performance of his defensive teammates.

We'll see later on if Browns superfan, and Cleveland area native, The Miz has something to say on Smackdown. Unfortunately for Miz, his pulpit will be in Philadelphia, but that's neither here nor there at this point.

Anyway, it was announced this morning that Garrett has been suspended indefinitely without pay. The Browns couldn't afford to have that happen, especially after DB Morgan Burnett went out with an ankle injury late in the second quarter, having already made an impact on the game by picking off Rudolph.

There were a couple of yo yo's on YouTube who said that if this was in a game against the New England Patriots and uberdiva Tom Brady was the victim instead of Rudolph, Garrett would likely have either been lucky to leave the building or be hauled off to jail. They do send hockey players to jail for similar incidents.

Earlier in the day, the Browns cut ties with receiver Terrence Gallaway. As noted, Burnett was injured during the game, and Garrett was one of three Browns ejected in the second half.

I've heard of winning ugly, but this takes the grand prize.
