Myles Garrett Stands by Accusation That Mason Rudolph Used Racial Slur in Steelers-Browns Incident
By Jerry Trotta
Myles Garrett's impending indefinite suspension took a twist on Thursday as the star defensive end alleged that Mason Rudolph uttered a racial slur in his direction prior to the massive brawl between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers last Thursday.
Rudolph predictably denied Garrett's claim, and the NFL ultimately revealed that they were upholding the Texas A&M product's punishment.
Well, that settlement isn't sitting well with Garrett as he took to Twitter to back his accusation that Rudolph unleashed a racial profanity towards him.
Anybody notice that Garrett didn't apologize for his barbaric actions? He merely "regrets" them.
His insistence certainly makes things interesting, but there is simply nothing more that Garrett can do to persuade the league's appeal officers -- Derrick Brooks and James Thrash -- to take his side.
At this rate, this predicament is rapidly evolving into a "he said, he said" ordeal and there's just no way to determine who is telling the truth, even though Garrett is adamant that his ears did not deceive him.
This is not the last we'll hear of this mess so stay tuned for updates on further developments.
