Vontaze Burfict Suspended Three Games for Repeated Violations of Player Safety Rules

https://nflcommunications.com/Pages/Vontaze-Burfict-Suspended-Three-Games-for-Repeated-Violations-of-Player-Safety-Rules.aspx

VONTAZE BURFICT of the Cincinnati Bengals has been suspended without pay for the first three games of the 2016 regular-season for repeated violations of safety-related playing rules.

Burfict’s most recent violation came with 22 seconds remaining in last Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he was penalized for unnecessary roughness for using his shoulder to make forcible contact to the head and neck area of a defenseless receiver.

The suspension was imposed by NFL Vice President of Football Operations MERTON HANKS, who ruled that Burfict’s action placed his opponent at unnecessary risk of injury and should have been avoided. The suspension will take effect at the time of the final roster reduction prior to Week 1 of the 2016 regular-season.

An OC who calls a timeout and ices his own kicker (when it's -1 outside), and the kicker goes wide left on a 27 yard FG attempt.

Thought maybe Norv and Payton will...

He has been listening to a shitty 'Murkin talk how host named Rush.

Oh, and like most sentient beings, I've been listening to Bowie.
