It is currently 11 am on Friday, and I feel like if Twitter allotted half the time and energy spent on investigating literally anything else as they did the Myles Garrett incident, we’d all be having a beer with Big Foot right now.
There has been so much Myles Garrett content swirling around the internet, it’s just a matter of time before PornHub releases a Myles Garrett porn parody likening the helmet to a penis tip.
I don’t know, I don’t want to think too deeply about it.But if Myles Garrett content is the content people want, I’m here to deliver it to them.
There is a lot of talk circulating this morning about how Garrett has low-key been nearing Vontaze Burfict-level of dirtiness throughout his 2.5-year NFL career.
While Garrett went on the record in September claiming he’s not a dirty player, evidence to the contrary seems to suggest the 23-year-old Pro Bowler has a chaotic temper that could ultimately land him a season-long suspension like Mr. Burfict if he doesn’t get it in check.

During a Week 1 loss to the Titans, Garrett punched Titans tight end Delanie Walker after the whistle. He was fined $10,527.
During a Week 2 win over the Jets on Monday Night Football, Garrett committed two roughing the passer penalties for two separate hits on Trevor Siemian. He was fined $42,112.

Garrett’s $52,639 in fines this season is couch change compared to Burfict’s $5.3 million in fines and forfeited salary over his seven-year career, but the Raiders linebacker has six years on Garrett and the Browns organization has proved inept in instilling discipline in its players.
Moral of the story: Garrett needs to spend a month with the Patriots to scare him straight.
