Mike Evans losing his mind

Holy shit...that should be several games and a big fine...but with this commissioner,  he'll get a stern talking to... 

What led up to that?  

Lattimore suggested Evans had an unusually close relationship with his mother...

I can't say this strong enough, this is exactly why "player safety" is a joke. If the league truly cared, he would be suspended indefinitely. This was a cowardly and dangerous act that could have lead to a serious injury.

Evans is such a punk.

I think if a player pulled a shank out of his sock and stabbed a guy, there'd be no suspension and an arguement over whether or not a 15 yard penalty was even enforcable...

Edit, unless it was Sendejo. He's on the list.

Suh's choke comes to mind. Burfict's extra sauce at the end of plays. Steve Smith....

Id think id like to see the commish's exempt list be utilized for some of the buuuuulllshit that gets excused week in and out.

Its always excused as men doing things men do with all that testosterone flowing. The "violence of the game," play in and out mind you, is pulled out of context to justify fighting. It's simply workplace violence. With the NFL focusing on getting domestic abuse policy "right," some of the shit players get away with ON THE FIELD should raise a big red flag. They dont need to protect the ingegrity of their game; they dont need to protect advertising dollars that are already paid. That shit probably makes must see TV.

Its extra frustrating/annoying/stupid when guys like Sendejo get suspended for hitting someone wrong in the middle of play.

Technically, I don't think there are any rules against stabbing. The real question is whether the knife would be a uniform violation or celebration with a prop.

Did Lattimore suggest the Rhodes were still closed?  Props to the o-line guy, looked like he actually tried to step in but way too slow.

That video doesn't really serve the situation justice since Lattimore was trolling the Bucs sideline and Winston got involved before this happened. Evans cannot do that, but at most I would expect there to be a 1 game suspension. There just isn't precedence there for a long-term penalty.

They show Winston poking Lattimore before the start of the fight. Bad behavior all around really...

I think he should have been ejected. If AJ Green was ejected, Mike Evans should have been as well.

1 game suspension it is...

.. as predicted by Geoff!

"If there's not an ejection in that situation," Payton said after the game, "then I don't know when there's supposed to be an ejection.

And you have just rekindled my Sean Payton hate.
