I didn’t know anything about his background other than he is a great defensive player. I didn’t watch the game last night but saw the lowlights this morning before work. It just made no sense since there was less than a minute left and the Browns were up by two touchdowns. If any of the Cleveland coaches had any ideas that the guy could go off like this, they should have pulled him off the field. Because, as the fancy boy gravitas-laden pundits are fond of saying, “The optics are really bad.”
Absolutely. His behavior was inexcusable. He’ll get 5 games or so and that’s going to hurt his team. His off the field behavior, however is completely opposite of his recent lack of discipline on it.
