    Should have been for the whole season.
    Marvin Lewis should be disciplined too.

    The release said it was "FOR REPEATED VIOLATIONS OF PLAYER SAFETY RULES" and said his latest violation was unnecessary roughness on Antonio Brown.

    I TOTALLY AGREE! This is actually quite laughable. His stupid union guys will get him off the hook for probably at least one of them. I wish suspensions could be enforced based on circumstance. So say they allow him to miss the first 2 games but then if the bungles make the playoffs they can enforce the other one for their first playoff game or something like that. Him and his team should REALLY have to suffer for this and I don't feel like 3 games are enough. He should have to set out more and he shouldn't be allowed to play against us at all. The dude is clearly unstable.

    Honestly 3 is more than I expected. I bet he appeals and it gets rolled back to two. Maybe that's the logic.

    Agreed, but you gotta admit, 3 games is a lot for the NFL. Such a suspension is very rare

    Burfict is a P.O.S. PERIOD...

    I read an article earlier, that suggested Goodell`s #1 job this offseason, should
    be to find a way that he nevr plays in the NFL again...

    The author also said that would be next to impossible, with the NFLPA,
    But he thought Ole Rodge should try anyway...

    Couldn`t agree more!!!!:butcher::bungalssuck::dfense::herewego!:

    3 games I agree is not enough. And I am sure the league told him anymore BS and he will be gone for a lot longer the next time. I also can guarantee that one of those first 3 games will be against us.

    Ben did plenty wrong. To what degree, only he knows. There were many other things too that made the league look bad. The guy was a despicable human being for several years.

    Anyway, my point is that 3 games for on the field activity is rare in the NFL

    How does the NFLPA defend one player who has repeatedly injured other players? Seems like a breach of their responsibilities to the overall membership.

    Not enough. We honestly need to compile a petition with a compilation of all the dirty **** he has done asking he get kicked out of the league. I know we could get a few fan bases behind it.
