Team wont care, just watch

Why wouldn't they not care?

I think they do

 

We need a reliable Wideout.

He isn't that.

3rd round pick on a cheap 4 year deal - he will be given a LOT of rope. Look how long they hung on to Cartman

Carman was bad on the field but I think ok off it.

He has talent so they will keep him unless he literally commits a serious crime. By training camp next yera, Hobs will be singing his praises as a new man much like he did with Cartman and others.

But this off-season, all that changed for #81. He is now a father after having 5 children with 7 different women. Being a father has changed him. "I was talking to Tyreek, and he said you just gotta let the game take care of itself." Fatherhood has given him a new perspective too "Last year, I was so immature and jus' wildin' out you know? My kids have changed so much for me. Now I just like quiet nights at home playing online slots and doing my baby momma's UFC training."

As he poses in a very soft sweater holding a very small and vulnerable animal to seem non-threatening and kind, he reflects on all his NFL experience has taught him. "Yo, one day you not payin' rent on a penthouse overlookin' the river, and the next day you crashing on Mike Hilton's couch. The NFL a trip man." He looks to make waves on the field this year with his newfound love of the game and some massive child support payments to motivate him. "Yo, the sky's the limit. I just gotta put my faith in God."

"We've seen some good things from Jermaine" says Head Coach Zac Taylor. "Last year he had some maturity issues, but he going to come in and compete and push some guys. I'm happy for him."

The X account that claimed he was a domestic abuser has been deleted, for what it's worth. If he's facing criminal charges, he may very well get cut. If not, the team should get him some counseling. He's obviously not handling his money well and making bad choices all around. Maybe there's no fixing it but maybe he can benefit from new associates and better choices. 

 

He's sort of acting like Antonio Brown but minus the production. I wonder if he has TBI or something like that. 

 

Too bad he isn't funny as hell like AB.  At least there would be some kind of redeeming quality to the man.

Yeah Im in no mood to go back to the Marvin Lewis "redeeming" days. He can go.

[KA14_HOF]

Whether this report is true or not, how 'bout we establish a new team rule:

 

If there's ever footage of a college player clocking a woman, we take that scumbag off our draft board.

 

Is that too much to ask?

It wasn't Marvin doing the Redeeming. Ol' Musty wouldn't let him get rid of the problem guys. Treating the franchise like a group home is all him.

Mike doesn't really do anything with the team anymore, this would be a Katie thing, but yes.

The young lady ssaulted also stated Burton put a knife to his own throat saying he would kill himself.

Clearly a disturbed man.

As long as he holds the title of President that is where the buck stops. I believe Katie etc handle 95% of the day to day but I'll accept he's completely stepped down when he completely steps down.

 

Let's see how they handle this one but the "he smiles a lot" excuse we got for the last miscreant sure didn't sound like Katie to me.

Until Mike Brown has no title and stops giving the annual "State of the Bengals" interview, it is foolish to believe he has nothing to do with the team.  The only thing I have ever heard him say or be quoted as saying is that he no longer is involved in the day to day operation of the team.  That doesn't mean he isn't involved in big decisions.  No chance he isn't involved in the big contracts of players like Burrow and Chase even if he doesn't speak to them or their agents directly.

He already should be gone.  Again, standards and expectations.   Some other team will give him another chance.

Bengals issue statement on Jermaine Burton accusation report

Chris Roling

USA TODAY Sports

 

 

 

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton has been accused of assaulting his girlfriend, although no charges have been filed.

 

According to Sharon Coolidge, Cameron Knight, and Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Cincinnati police reports show that an assault was reported on December 30 involving Burton. The writeup includes details found on a recording of a 911 call and two reports after a public records request.

 

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Bengals issued this statement on the topic: "We are aware of information related to Jermaine Burton. We will continue to evaluate as we gather additional details and will have no further comment at this time."

 

Before Cincinnati's Week 18 season finale against the Pittsburgh Stealers, the Bengals announced Burton wasn't permitted to travel with the team, but didn't say why. Conway reported that weekend that Burton had also been served an eviction notice.

 

Red flags that caused Burton to fall to the third round of the draft chased him into the season, where he struggled to get up to speed. When Tee Higgins missed time in November and the rookie was a big part of a gameplan for the first time, Burton got in hot water for reportedly no-showing a Saturday walkthrough, to the point teammates sent public messages his way after team discipline. He was just starting to become a core member of the special teams unit before the Week 18 setback.

zEveryone in the NFL,knew Burton was a head case.He had first round talent.Yet fell to the 4th round.The Bengals should have learned from Burfict,Pacman Jones,and Chris Henry.You can't change these type of players.Stop drafting them.No matter how talented they are.

 

lol naming three dudes who were super good and super productive on this team and accounted for many wins is a bad stance.

…at least she was 19….

Sounds like somebody needs a Code Red.

He was saying things?!?!? thats an odd thing to say..

 

he was yelling at her in the car, the car where, headed home? she says they parted ways but he beat her home and was waiting for her? this also is confusing. if they were together did she leave and take an uber? doesnt sound much like it, then he as blocking the door and choked her but then went inside so he was blocking it and choking her but decided to let her inside but then was still so mad he chased her inside? all that seems slightly odd. like he is a pro athlete so if he blocke tthe door she wasnt getting in and if he calmed down to let her go inside how did it turn into him chasing her.

 

he got a knife from th dish washer? not a drawer? was the dishwasher open? did he do the dishes? im not assuming someone has a knife in the dishwasher, im going to a drawer. 

 

and whats being 19 have to do with deserving this treatment, like if she was 25 she would deserve it? wtf does that even mean.

 

if he broke her phone what did she call from? we know she doesnt have a home phone as a 19 yr old, did she call from elsewhere? did her phone still work and screen was cracked?

 

so he got a knife and held it up to his kneck? thats odd. feels like she got the knife, chased her upstairs and got it away from her and mocked her by holding it up to his kneck would be my guess.

Man you really are doing the most when it comes to defending this team.

 

I do have to object to anyone lumping Burfict in with the fuck-ups. All he ever did was give the Stealers a boo-boo.

oh dont get me wrong, Brurton is a worthless dumbass fuckup. he will obviously get a shot to come back after an offseason. so not much to think about.

 

but my son has an ex GF who claimed he was abusive, manipulative, insecure, and posted to the whole school and friends on social media about "finally out of this toxic abusive relationship" then proceeded to post to hood twitter in these posts where chicks post the phone number of an ex who screwed them over and they are then harrassed, for weeks by random people across the country. Had to change his phone number, i filed online police reports of every thing she had done with proof in case something ever came of it. Mind you this is a girl who had created fake snapchat accounts as a DUDE to have conversations with herself, take screenshots of the fake dude complimenting her or saying something innappropriate to post like he was being hit on. took fake pics from the internet of alcohol and send ti him claiming she was at a party getting drunk with dudes to try to make him jealous. after she posted that shit on social media he had girls at the school saying he was creepy and disgusting, had teachers fuck with him assuming he had done something. I hired a lawyer to clear that shit from the internet becasue he was getting recruited for sports in college. I had to threaten sueing her parents to get them to address it, they were tired of her shit.

 

all this for some high school senior year relationship of some chick and my kid in southern colorado redneck highschool.

 

so im not defending the team or Burton, but if allllll that shit went down and she didnt press any charges.... and the story is odd as fuck. im not with it.. ive seen it with my eyes.

 

if someone is doing all that to you like its said, and you cal land are talking about him yelling in the car earlier and shit from a month ago, thats odd, thats thinking of shit to tell someone. if thats going down that call is like "hey i need police, my boyfield is crazy and choked me and broke into my house, i need a restraining order"  how many of those calls have yall heard on tv and online? a billion? they dont go like this. 

 

then she presses no charges? lol, ok.

 

Burton seems clearly like a dumbass and a dirtbag, but i dont think that series of events went down like that, if at all. 

 

Maybe im wrong.. but thats a really weird call, and for those things to be true to not press charges or do ANYTHING about it after the call. suspicious as fuck.

 

I wont go down the pacman route again, i have a few times, but he had the lady at the reds game punching him and he got arrested casue she said he just attacked her ot of no where, he had the kid posting him yelling at him after hitting his Bentley, id be yelling too, no way that teenager in Batavia ohio has the coverage to cover the repairs to a fucking Bentley, so that was gonna gost him 50k or so after dudes insurance paid up, getting arrest at the westin for going to the wrong room, was he drunk and knocking on someone elses door? yes, would you or I have been ARRESTED when security came if we did that? no.

 

remember the teenagers who said they were walking down the road and Odell Thurman and Chris Henry stopped and beat them up? they filed a whole police report, it was on the news, never happened.

 

Remember when that shitty lineman got tased by the cincy police because they told him to move his car and he went to move it then they told him he was under arrest, he got 50 million settlement. (Mathias Askew was the palyer)

 

Chinedume Ndukwe was part of an extortion case a woman tried to sue him for sexual assault which was false and they proved it and she was charged with extortion.

 

remember when pacman was arresteda t the airport and all charges got dropped once again?

 

Police repremeanded for handling of Joe Mixon case where lady said he showed a gun to her some random night.

 

how many cases of people being either scammers or liars or racists does it take before the first thought isnt "well there is a good chance this isnt all true"
