    Nothing seems to get the message across to him, especially in this modern no-hit NFL. I'd throw him out for 6 games after something like that but he hit a Steeler so the Ahole commish won't mind much.

    Having worked for a fella' from Compton (who's now in prison for good for running another fella over with his truck on the set of a movie) I'll tell you that if you're from there, you're true colors better be red!

    So...back on topic.

    If you really look at that play, had he actually came in trying to wrap up instead of going for a mildly disguised head shot, he may have not gotten totally blown up!

    Do they give fines and suspensions out for attempted fouls?

    I can’t remember ever seeing one for attempted personal fouls.

    He had a story about him last year. He didn't name him in the story. I jokingly asked who it was, "Suge?"

    He said yes. :eek:

    AB's getting sued for almost hitting someone. I guess anything is possible?

    These are illegal hits, even if they are not called. IIRC Harrison got fined for hits that were not called penalties

    Burfict should be fined for his play today.

    If he isn't, I will console myself with the knowledge that Conner and McDonald both made him look silly by running right through him.

    Definitely a cheap shot by Burfict. He knew what he was doing. Refs missed it by I doubt the NFL will.

    But he didn’t connect with the attempt to headshot AB.

    I guess they could get him for connecting on his teammate...

    That’s a civil lawsuit.

    I’m just saying I’ve never seen them get a guy for an attempt that did not connect.

    He was saying “Why did they run that with zero coverage” and “in practice we was on that ****!” Then something like until that 2 point something something.

    Well in their D Coordinators defense, Burfict just got back from suspension a few weeks ago, so just because HE hasn't practiced that play doesn't mean that everyone else didn't.

    And he has to live with the knowledge that he claimed he got suspended for drug use because he was knocked out by JuJu.LOL

    According to a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL is reviewing three plays that Burfict was involved during the game to determine the appropriate level of discipline. Those three plays are his elbow on Brown, and two plays in the second half in which he led with his helmet.

    Thanks, how he doesn’t get suspended as a repeat offender is as much surprise as how that wasn’t a flag.
