Yea.... sorry Derek. He's a POS. You can be gone as soon as possible, too. I loved you before you got hurt. You are a scared little girl trying to be an NFL QB...... stealing 25 million a year. Can't wait til you are gone!
Burfict shoulda knocked the common sense back into AB
Misunderstood???!!! I understand him perfectly. He lives to hurt people. Raiders knew that and took him anyway......AB....same thing. You take your chances with damaged goods.

Did AB ever have any? He was doing celebrations when he knew he would get 15 yards.( still crack up on the failed goal post mount).
John Gruden won a championship with players associated with Mike Tomlin. So, you really can’t blame Gruden for bringing in AB and Burfict.

Honestly, that second one looks pretty tame, the kind of play no one would bat an eye over a few years ago or with a different name on the back of the jersey. I have about as low of an opinion of Burfict as you can have, but they are really just piling on for whatever extra PR points exist for that in their minds.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but going back and watching the original dirty hit, the Colts TE was clearly looking to get up and try to run for more yards if no one tackled him. He wasn't a defenseless guy down on one knee trying to give himself up.
Burfict is a POS and his out-of-control play definitely is going to continue getting people hurt if they allow him - but if that one is what they're using as the last straw, I've gotta say that's lame.
See you Space Cowboy ...
Well, it's kinda when you're on probation because you were convicted of a crime earlier. You will be watched more closely and any infraction will lead to much more severe punishment than other people who do the same would get because you are a repeat offender. Burfict is well known for hitting people on purpose at least reckless, probably even intentional.
Well yeah, but I really don't think either of those were actual infractions, like borderline for even being a penalty at all. It really, REALLY pains me to stick up for Burfict, but they are basing the whole thing on the first play against the TE being a dirty hit with intent to injure, and have gone out of their way to drive that point home. Well, it wasn't actually a dirty hit or a late hit or intentional, or anything of the kind, the guy was trying to get up and run. Burfict is an asshole who makes dirty plays on a regular basis, but that wasn't one of them. It was a regular play.
See you Space Cowboy ...
They didn’t convict OJ for murder; he went to jail for robbery.
They didn’t convict Al Capone for being a crime lord; he went to jail for tax evasion.
SUMMATION:
The same basically applies now with Burfict.
Whatever. Only about 4-5 years late.
My favorite thing that has happened tis season so far.
That should pretty much put a nail in this jagoff's coffin.
Coming next week: the union grievance.
See you Space Cowboy ...
