Oh please Christi. I have personally seen Mel Blount do worse. The Cheaters have ended more careers than cancel culture. They are widely known as the dirtiest damned team in the NFL and have been for 50 years now. Do you have any clue how utterly ridiculous your comment is. For every hit by a Burfict there’s been 4 or 5 players Von Olenhoffened by the Cheaters.
For every Shazier there’s a Palmer, a Rivers. Heinz Ward, Joey Porter, James Head Hunter Harrison, have you Forgotten when Keith Gary tried to take Ken Anderson’s head off and god damned nearly did. He purposefully tried to break Anderson’s neck, we’re not talking a wicked hit like Burfict. We’re talking he purposefully grabbed Anderson by the face mask, twisted his head than yanked his face mask and tried to break his neck. Then the next time they played he fucking did it again.
How many guys did Mel Blount crack their helmets give concussions to by hitting them to the blind side of the head with illegal hammer shots? How many careers did Lambert end with his infamous clothes line and horse collar tackles? How many times did Joe Greene get flagged for stomping on opposing players balls while they were on the ground?
Do you know how many times the NFL has changed its rules because of Steeler players injuring opponents with cheap shots? 9 times. Tops in NFL history. You know who’s second? The Raiders with two.
Now I agree Burfict was excessive but as a Bengals fan I’ll be god damned if I let a fan of the dirtiest team in the entire history of the NFL throw shade at my team, or any team for that matter, for playing dirty. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
And just one other thing….Burfict never touched Shazier. They’re both freaking Linebackers. Shazier injured his spinal cord using poor technique trying to tackle Josh Malone.
