(Source) Martellus Bennett on Brandon Meriweather: “The scumbag,” Bennett said, before talking more seriously about the issue. “What it comes down to, at the end of the day, the players have got to look out for the players. There’s a way to go out there and be a beast when you hit people, and have nobody want to come across the middle. But then there’s a way not to do it, where you’re deliberately hitting guys [high], or after the game you’re saying, Oh, I’ve got to pay, because you know what you did was wrong when you were doing it. Then it just becomes wrong. It’s not ignorance, because he knows what he’s doing, or guys know what they’re doing. Some guys are making these attacks on other guys.”

First of all the answer is yes. Blatantly hitting people up high, giving everyone (including himself) a concussion and laughing about it post game are signs of an asshole. Of all the great things Bill Belichick has done, bringing this scumbag into the league is at the bottom of the list. Some of the rule changes, especially the ones favoring receivers, are a little much and might be difficult to adjust to. Someone who’s been in the league 7 years should know better. Judging from his on and off the field antics, the guy is clearly a punk. Bragging about hitting people high or giving someone a concussion is just plain ignorant. He’s already been fined, and now suspended two games this year. Do us all a favor Mr. Goodell and kick this piece of trash out of the league for good.
