If anything, the text message supports Wideman's claim that he had no intent to injure a linesman.
The rule is, after all, all about intent. It's apparent to me that Wideman had none.

Yeah I don't see what the big deal is about the text. Yes he shouldn't have used the word "stupid", but it aligns with his story. He feels the refs and media are blowing it out of proportion, and that's why he got suspended.
If the text said "I really hope I can get away with this" or something that'd be a different story.
