V. Buttfuct suspended for season

Post by franco>madden » Mon Sep 30, 2019 4:26 pm

Gutless NFL -- should be lifetime ban. But nice to see him gone in any case.

Wonder if it hits the human piece of excrement in the wallet?

He doesn't get any pay for the games missed.

And isn't eligible for playoffs, either.

Damn. Still a hefty penalty.

Would imagine it's pretty much the end of his career....Oakland: what a shit show w/ Mr. Big Chest and now Burfict...What does this say about Gruden? Also a p.o.s....

They suspended him for a season and you're complaining? I hope that's because of all the other suspensions, because if one hit like that get get you out for a season, then that's a shitty precedent to set

He has been fined more than 4 million dollars in his career. 4 million dollars. What an idiot.

Have you watched even less NFL games over the past several years than I have? Dude makes Jack Tatum look like a pussycat.

Pretty sure the severity is in recognition for his entire "body of work" ...

The guy was on his knee. All the defenders needed to do was touch him. Instead, they both speared him. In the head. I'd say that's a pretty good precedent to set.
Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

Remember when Gruden was sucking him off on the Mon Night game a few years back? Painted Burfict as some sort of victim and this game was a "redemption" of some variety

The incredible American irony of Burfict and Brown both being out of the league, potentially both are finished.

It is an absolutely astonishing intersection of amazing skills, perhaps injury driven behaviors(will never know), and equally amazing bad behavior.

I'm kind of amazed Burfict was still even in the league. I thought he should have been banned for life at least 1 or 2 illegal hits ago.

He's just a dirty player. I'm guessing there are some players that just want to hurt people.

Guy I work with was roommates with him in training camp. Confirmed the dumbness was consistent. Super immaturity that extended to the field.

The guy's a poster child for dirty play in football. If a 'complete' dirty play highlight reel was ever properly put together, you'd probably have a 20 minute clip to show young players on how not to play the game they love. And, that's just the crap that's been captured on film, god knows what's been missed.

I'm sure he's a product of his environment, but I hope he ends up broke and having to work for a regular wage, commensurate with his off field lack of skills, someday.

With the contact he signed, Gruden is going to be the gift that keeps giving for a long time...
