Watching that video, I have nothing but sympathy for Burfict... he is doing nothing and Conklin shoves him, he hasn't actually reacted yet and the ref has his arm in front of him ... WHY ? ... because Burfict had a reason to respond, but there was no flag throwing on Conklin... BUrfict simply walks ahead (as the ref dropped his arm) wasn't even hurrying and the ref goes ape poo (what a douche) ...

hate the guy if you want, yes he has done questionable things, but this is total bull poo.

It's his reputation at this point there have been a few things he's done where I just looked and seen nothing wrong with what he did.

Yep, and since his name is not Tom Brady he can't get away with anything. I am sure if he was caught doing something against the rules to affect the outcome of a game, during that game, Burfict would be the new Pete Rose, gone for life. And yet Brady doesn't even get a years suspension for cheating in the midst of game.

Sometimes I hate the NFL.

Burfict gonna Burfict. Dude's never going to learn to control his own behavior. It's already cost his team a playoff game and gotten him suspended.

He was just tagged for an earlier penalty when he chest bumped and lifted his knee into a player who was beyond the white strip out of bounds..... But he had his hands up when he did it, so of course that means it was unintentional and unavoidable....... Not the most egregious thing in the world, but definitely a penalty, definitely stupid and 100% unnecessary.

On the play he got ejected, he came in late on the play, rolled #62 in the back and then did this weird grinding thing on him. That is when Conklin came in to separate them. That is when the jawing and extra stuff started. The refs were hm going to let all that go.

But Vontaze is going to Vontaze and tries to follow them and keep talking. The ref puts up his arm to indicate to Burfict to stop and Vontaze knocks his arm up and away so he can continue forward and talk scrap

So incredibly stupid

I think you need to re-watch the video.

Someone needs to inspect that dude's head. Literally.

I think he has an Aaron Hernandez level of CTE in that brain of his.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't his knuckleheadedness lead him to go from a possible top 5-10 pick to dropping out of the draft completely?

Do you have evidence Brady cheated during a game? And let me guess, this is all about race, right?

Oh stop with the race ********. This had everything to do with money, M O N E Y. There was absolutely evidence, even aside from the evidence Brady destroyed (1 phone out of multiples that he still owned, the only one destroyed was the one with additional evidence).

I would love to see a very careful investigation of the living circumstances, general wealth, etc of the 2 dupes who took the fall for this. I have no doubt, the results would be eye opening.
