The radio said they thought it was going to be the next two preseason games only. Guess we will know for sure soon.

He threw the helmet at that idiot's chest. It bounced off his ample breasts. Who cares? Fine the dude $50k and let's get back to work.

I would imagine that using a helmet as a weapon is frowned upon by Mrs. Goddell.

Schefter is reporting that the suspension will be the last 2 preseason games + the SD game.

I'm OK with that.

Missing the opener really sucks. This isn't Smith's first issue with Incognito, but he really should take the higher ground with that guy.

San Diego's pass pro should be swiss cheese enough to get to Rivers without Smith, but I was kinda looking forward to getting them on Monday Night with a full front 7. David Carr still has nightmares I'm sure from his first game against the Chargers in 2002 when he was their punching bag, so getting a little payback is always nice.

What the hell is Antonio, a 19-year old college kid or something ?
How does a 32 year old NFL veteran lose his cool like this in a totally meaningless preseason game ? Missing the SD game is gonna cost him a lot of money, and he's also really hurt his own team with the suspension.

I want to know how the officials could be so incompetent.

You have two guys who are known to hate each other. They tried to injure/kick each other last year and you missed all of it live. The league had to clean up with fines. You would figure this is the kind of thing that an official's preparation should prepare them for going into the game.

Then instead of keeping an eye on these two, they totally miss one guy hanging on the other guy's facemask, and the 2nd guy retaliating by ripping his helmet off and hitting him with it. And the officials don't see any of this?

Fine/suspend the stupid players involved if you think they deserve it, but if player safety matters than you should be fining/suspending the officials who missed it all and caused it to escalate through their incompetence.

Can't play in the remaining exhibition games, let's hope that's the extent of the suspension. Actually I kinda wish they'd suspend the entire starting lineup, both defense & offense, for the last 2 preseason games and keep them off of the field until the games start to mean something in SD. Just too many injuries in these
meaningless exhibition games.

The NFL is considering whether to suspend Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith from one or more regular-season games for forcibly removing the helmet of Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito and then dangerously swinging it at his face, according to a league source.

I don't like the sounds of this, could be we won't get off so easy on this afterall ?
