Makes what Alosi did look like nothing... it's interesting that the Panthers haven't imposed any disciplinary action?

Brayton is a dirty player. Always has been. Isolate on him for a game and you see some nasty stuff.

Nice I like to see a little attitude. The gunner has the option to stay on the field. Looked to me like Brayton just stood up to see the action and the gunner tried to run him over....

[Hairless Cat]

I guess Im having trouble figuring out why its illegal if the gunner is running off the actual playing field. I know its the rules but why?

[BlanksKarma]

Brayton jumps up off the bench and delivers an elbow shot to him. I would say he got off lightly.

It does seem unfair to me that a guy making what Alosi makes gets fined 25k and is suspended for the rest of the season while a guy making what Brayton makes gets fined 15k with no suspension.

I don't want to see Brayton suspended, but this is pretty bad...

Wow. LOL That was hilarious. Also LOL @ everyone on our sideline pretending like that never happened.

And for everyone that said he was dirty, the thing that amazes me is that when he came out, I remember he was actually viewed as being quite athletic. I think he ran a 4.7 40, numbers similar to Peppers, but maybe he's lost some of that and resorts to the dirty stuff instead? Because when he's in space he looks like he's stuck in quick sand quite often.

That happened off the field. Brayton should be arrested. Definitely should be releases from the team. I would think an incident like this would allow for a termination of his contract. Punishment should be something like Vick received. Suspended from NFL and the matter turned over to the police to prosecute as the law allows.

lol, it was pretty vicious and seems to violate that unspoken rule in the NFL among players that you don't intentionally try to injure another player... BUT, maybe there seems to be another unspoken rule that if a guy gets too far on your sideline and doesn't get off, anything goes???

i think its ridiculous and the panthers should discipline him pretty hard.

It's my understanding that this kind of thing happens all the time (although not this blatantly) but most times it's not caught by the camera or discussed because the other team wants to do it to you just like you did it to them.

With the Alosi thing and this, I think the NFL is going to start cracking down on this kind of thing BIG TIME...

Get over it. The falcons player decided to run out of bounds and sometimes things happen. Deliberate or not crap like that is going to happen in a violent game. He got fined so move on. I guess our players should start to offer to wash the opposing teams socks after every game as well so they can all be gentleman and such in a further effort to make us the door mat of the NFL. Im just glad you have no pull with the organization or we may be in danger of having a team of some of the nicest tackling dummies youve ever met on the field.
