This is pure nonsense.  Burfict was UNDRAFTED by the ENTIRE league BEFORE he became a Bengal.  Again, BEFORE he became a Bengal.  He was a DIRTY player long before he became a Bengal.  The guy is a FUCKING idiot.  He is incapable of playing within the rules and goes out of his way to deliver cheap shots on unsuspecting players.  Could have been a great player but he is nothing more than a distraction at this point unable to stay on the field and help his team.  

 

He blindsided a player in a PRE SEASON game knowing he has a target on his back, that is how fucking stupid he is.  Back to back 3 game bans to start the season for ON THE FIELD conduct is a record. 

 

He targeted the head of Antonio Brown KNOWING the Rapist couldn't throw, they had no time outs and there was almost NO time on the clock.  Fucking idiot. 

 

If he were a Stealer, Raven, Patriot or Brown, everyone on this board would be screaming bloody murder at the bullshit he pulls.

 

ONE MORE TIME:  A player with obvious and incredible talent went UNDRAFTED by the entire NFL. The reason is obvious.

 I DGAF what he did in college & neither should you.  I will grant you that he had a problem playing within the rules earlier in his career.  Unlike many players, who are never even criticized for it, let alone suspended for multiple games, he cleaned it up.  Unlike James Harrison, he didn't piss and moan about it and start threatening to take out people's knees.  He never stomped on a guy's face like Haynesworth.  Burfict sometimes hit people late.  I don't like seeing him twist ankles but if that's a problem you probably shouldn't watch football.  Every time a player gets tackled they are likely to get their ankle twisted, or have one player hold them up so another can get a hit in, or have an elbow dug into their ribs and on and on.  That's the game. It's violent, the NFL and ESPN and FOX Sports and the rest WANT a violent game.  The fans, god help us, want a violent game.  The ex-players enjoyed playing a violent game, but now their brains are mush so they're going after the league.  That's all this is about; not player safety or any of this other mealy-mouthed bullshit from Goodell.   They are running scared from a massive class-action lawsuit, period.

 

Burfict had ONE unnecessary roughness penalty last season.  One.  He was not called for any other personal foul all year.  What does that tell you?

 

He hit an eligible receiver, squared up, with his shoulder, within 5 yards of the LOS.  I DGAF if it was a PRESEASON game & neither should you.  He was on a football field, playing football. If they're supposed to patty-cake their way through the preseason then let them do it in shorts like any other 1/2 speed practice.  The NFL made yet another rule change to let receivers catch the ball without being touched.  I'd never heard of this rule change before the suspension & neither had anyone else apparently.  They needed to get everyone's attention and Goodell likes to wave his shriveled old dick around, so we get a 5 game suspension to make a point that had very little if anything to do with Burfict. 5 fucking games, for a hit that wasn't even flagged. 

 

He hit Antonio Brown a fraction of a second late, with his shoulder, 2 SEASONS AGO, KNOWING that if he catches it the Bengals probably lose.  In the Playoffs. Again.  That entire game, even while Stealers OL were diving at his knees after the whistle, the announcers were going on and on and on about that nasty, dirty, probably-a-communist Burfict.  It was a fucking smear job from the start.  Also, Antonio Brown fucking flopped like Pau Gisol.  The Stealers were laughing with him about it on the sideline.  That same sideline where one of their coaches PULLED A MAN'S HAIR.  What happened to his fine? Poof, gone, thanks to Goodell. 

 

If he were a Stealer, Raven, or Patriot, he wouldn't be suspended.  You can look at far worse players on any of those teams and see that plain as day.

 

ONE MORE TIME:  Vontaze Burfict is Goodell's whipping boy.  They don't really want the NFL to change, but they need to put on a show for the lawyers and the courts.  The reason is obvious.

Exactly what happens here on occasion in nonpolitical topics.

Indeed. Difference is that we're not paid to opine on football (or politics). But even here there are separate threads for political discussion and moderators to move the talk there. You'd think highly paid professionals could meet the same standards. But they can't resist using their megaphones.

Oh I agree. I wasn't defending them.

Obviously you are not paying attention to what is going on in PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL.  It doesn't matter what YOU think the rules should be.  Not a fucking bit.  YOU CANT HIT A DEFENSELESS PLAYER,..THAT IS THE RULE.  It doesn't matter one fucking bit what you think about the new rule, its there and the NFLPA is fine with it since it extends the playing careers and and health of THEIR members.  Burfict is nothing more than James Harrision and Bill Romanaski. 

 

And lets pretend the leg stomps and other BS didn't happen.  Burfict is Goodell's whipping boy because Burfict CHOSE to become it with his dirty play.  EVERYONE in the league thinks he is a dirty player because he is.

 

BTW, the whole Goodell hates the Bengals is pure BS as the chart will show:  Only 1 team in the AFC North did NOT make the list,..us.

Again, one personal foul last season.  Singular, uno.  Then they suspend him for 5 games, almost 1/3rd of the season, just to draw attention to a new rule.  You're ok with that?

 

If the Cowboys had so many suspensions, why isn't ESPN et al dragging them through the mud?  $$$$$.

Those numbers don't necessarily mean anything either unless we know how much of a contributing factor they are to their teams success.

And if the Stealers get suspensions, they are only to second/third string easily replaceable spare parts. But, by golly, the league is tough on 'em! 

Yeah right. LeVeon Bell, Martavis Bryant, James harrison and Ben Roethlisberger were all just scrubs.

 

C'mon man.

Do they specify if those suspensions derived from dirty hits or substance abuse violations?

Oh you mean when he was suspended 6 games for rape? Only they reduced it to 4? 

 

Like Burfict, he did have a reputation coming out of HS and college.  For rape, but still.  He didn't hit receivers a fraction of a second late so HoF for him and Burfict = thug trash and gets suspended every year to highlight a new rule.  Unless he retires or goes to a Hard-Hitting Team That Does Things The Right Way, of course.

 

Do I have that right?

I don't know if you have anything right because I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

 

Are you really trying to claim that If ben got charged with another sexual assault he would not get suspended again for longer than 4 games?

 

And Ben had no history or sexual assault in college.  So what do you think you "have right"?

C'mon man.

My how easily they forgot. Pretty easy I guess when you are consumed by your own agenda. It fascinates me to continue to read comments from grown men about that's not fair....somethin somethin....somethin.....

 

The suspension was bullshit based on the fact that he didn't even flagged. However, burfict earned his reputation.  I hate it, but that's da breaks. There should be no issue when he gets a three game vacation. In the past, he would be revered for his play. But, it's not the past no more. It's a new nfl with new rules. Turns out, Burfict can't seem to play within the confines of any set of rules though.

Wrong, it was well known at Miami, there were several allegations but they went away because he was the star QB, "Big Ben" s reputation proceeded him. Pitt new what they were getting they just didn't care.
