Myles Garrett : NFL 2023 DPOY

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
There’s a reddit thread claiming the nfl had audio and is burying it. Any reason to think it’s legit?

I don't think this is plausible at all. If they got caught in such a cover-up, they'd be destroyed. Especially on the heels of the Kaepernick workout disaster.

Enough people that work with the audio team would essentially "whistleblow" that IMO. I'm not buying.

I think so. Wasn’t it reported that Mason was mic’d up for the game Thursday?

The NFL “destroyed” the Spygate tapes

The NFL “hadn’t seen” the Ray Rice tape

This is a multi billion dollar business. After the Colin stuff do you think they want that audio out? I wouldn’t put anything past them. Given what we know about Myles I would believe him over the NFL.

The audio crews are significant at each game. You're talking about 20ish people that'd all have to keep their mouths shut, when any of them could leak it or whistleblow, for likely 10 x's their yearly salary, and do it for a positive cause.

I'm sorry, I'm just not buying.

My theory, FWIW, is Myles wouldn't have taken this road, until Rudolph had a chance to own up to his portion of the incident, and he played straight victim and acted as if he was entirely blameless. I think the gloves came off in that moment for Myles....just my opinion.

There's enough veteran leadership on the Steelers, as much as I dislike them, that if there was any hint of this being true, they'd come out vigorously against Rudolph. Cam Heyward especially, who is fully supporting Mason. I also think it's telling multiple Browns players have said publicly that Myles never mentioned that version of events, and the first they heard of it was the appeals process. That's odd. It'd be one thing for him to keep it under wraps from the public until his appeal hearing, but its odd to me some of his closest teammates acknowledge they had never heard that version of events until ESPN reported it.

We have no reason to doubt Myles. It’s unlikely he would make an already bad situation worse by lying. The simplest, and most likely scenario is that he is telling the truth. And of course they Steelers players will say anything and everything. Other Browns have said they heard from Myles after the game about this. But he probably only talked to a few.

Every single NFL lineman has said they've been mic'd up. QBs are almost always wearing a mic. NFL has a race relations problem. It's better to make Myles look like a savage and let him rehab his persona; than to have a blatant racist at QB of one of your storied franchises.

You know how I know they have audio? Go back and watch the game. You can hear his cadence on live tv...that is only capable with a mic.

Absolutely right -- the risk/reward analysis pretty much mandates that they don't have it.
 
It's been too long since I've heard false equivalency.
 
The supposed parabolic mic....

What is that supposed to show?

That there is audio of the incident.

The NFL claims there was no recorded audio of the incident. The presence of a parabolic mic suggests that audio was captured. Whether it is intelligible audio, captured the entire incident, or captured a racial slur is obviously unknown.

But it illustrates the statement that no audio was recorded is likely false.

This is...incredibly flimsy.
 
I'm on Myles side with this. I just don't see how someone can see red like that if MR didn't say anything.
