Burfict suspended for illegal hit

Post by TheBurn » Mon Sep 30, 2019 2:15 pm

NFL suspended Raiders LB Vontaze Burfict for the remainder of the 2019 season for repeated violations of the league's unnecessary roughness rules. Burfict's suspension will cover the remainder of Oakland's 2019 slate including the postseason, should the Raiders advance that far. His ban stems from an illegal hit on Jack Doyle in Sunday's win over Indianapolis. "Following each of your previous rule violations, you were warned by me and each of the jointly-appointed appeal officers that future violations would result in escalated accountability measures," NFL VP of Football Operations Jon Runyan explained in his letter to Burfict. "However, you have continued to flagrantly abuse rules designated to protect yourself and your opponents from unnecessary risk." Burfict's vicious hit on Doyle was just the latest in a career marred by countless cheap shots on defenseless opponents. The linebacker's agent, Lamont Smith, confirms he'll appeal the NFL's ruling, though Burfict's litany of past transgressions obviously won't help his cause.

I agree but I must admit I would like to see him playing tonight to smack a few stoolers around.

Long Live Burfict!
I was crazy back when being crazy really meant something.
