how many people got fined, penalized or unemployed due to this fight.
Things never reached that point. They tried getting corroborating stories from eye witnesses, but there were only like 100 people in the stands.

At least gonna get one game?
You are nuts. The NFL is a LOT different from Haynesworth days. This is a MINIMUM 16 game ban, and a bunch of people are calling for a permanent banishment.
He should actually go to jail. He took off his helmet and used it as a weapon and hit somebody in the head. That should be assault with a deadly weapon.
Yep. Lets just say putting some of the quotes coming from media members, athletes and entertainers would move this to the political forum.The quarterback instigated Garrett into taking off a helmet and bashing it into his head?
That would not be in the NFL jurisdiction... Sounds like the attorney for the qb is already talking about this route, but that would be the Cleveland police departments arena not the NFL.
Rudolph threw 4 picks and was horrendous. He's probably thrilled this happened because everyone has forgotten how Godawful he was. They need to go to the next guy.I can't believe Rudolph got off scot-free on this. After the initial late hit, he tried to rip Garrett's helmet off FROM THE BACK, then kicked him in the nuts. Garrett should be gone for 16 games for his actions, but Rudolph's actions deserve a short suspension as well, including him coming after Garrett after they'd already been separated.
Agree. Maybe Tomlin will voluntarily suspend Rudolph and give Hodges another start.Rudolph threw 4 picks and was horrendous. He's probably thrilled this happened because everyone has forgotten how Godawful he was. They need to go to the next guy.
We need those kind on our OL again.The Pouncey's are the kind of lunatics you want on your OL. They are animals.

That's been a sentiment muttered after one of Doug's posts hundreds of times.I’m not sure why this was said? Of course it’s a police matter and not the NFL. I’m not sure the point of the post?
Well, considering it’s college, fined and unemployed are out. Penalized? There were a lot of multiple game suspensions.how many people got fined, penalized or unemployed due to this fight.

I saw the articles on the suspensions and didn’t even need to look for these reactions. So predictable and stupid.Yep. Lets just say putting some of the quotes coming from media members, athletes and entertainers would move this to the political forum.

In total, 13 players received penalties and were ejected from the game — Eight of them were from FIU while there were five from Miami. There were 31 players suspended after the game. Florida International had 18 players suspended by the Sun Belt Conference, each for a single game, and the team suspended them indefinitely. Smith and McDuffie, the initiators of the brawl, were kicked off the team instead of just a suspension.

Miami-FIU Brawl Announcer
As the brawl took place, former Miami Hurricanes receiver Lamar Thomas was the color analyst for the game and was supporting how the players for his Alma mater were handling themselves.
Here’s what Thomas said as the fight escalated out of control, via ESPN:
“Now, that’s what I’m talking about. You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked. You don’t come into the [Orange Bowl] playing that stuff. You’re across the ocean over there. You’re across the city. You can’t come over to our place talking noise like that. You’ll get your butt beat. I was about to go down the elevator to get in that thing.”
Due to these comments, Thomas was fired by CBS. When the game was being rebroadcast later in the week, Thomas’ comments were edited out of the footage.
