He's a bigger name than any other defensive player the XFL will have next year.

but people aren't going to see xfl games because of vontaze burfict

[GUMMO77]

thought this was the barbaric stuff fans really like this stuff used to go on back in the day and its what made people nfl fans for life not saying I condone it because I dont

NFL is changing because of insurance reasons.

[Tanko]

20 years ago was not even a penalty

now a suspension for life

and people wonder why no one watches the NFL anymore

I don't think the season suspension was due to JUST this hit. He had a history. Burfict had 2 prior (similar dirty hits - per NFL rules) and 1 illegal substance test (PEDS/other?) over the last 2 years. They warned him the suspensions would get worse wtih each event. I think the recent event was just a progression in hading out discipline.

Hits like this, which was completely avoidable, can wipe out another players career.
Burfict seems to have a habit of this.

[spro23]

does he still get paid? if so, this is brilliant for him. saves a whole year of wear n tear on his body.

[khaden]

Nfl is being run by a bunch of liberal pansies - I watched this hit live and couldnt believe he was ejected I’m in total disbelief this what “ football” has come too. I went to my high school game last week and saw 10 hits more “ violent” than this one and nit one was flagged. It’s football ( atleast it use to be) people will get hurt knocked silly and careers will be ended it’s oart of it - if you look at old nfl films and yiu can watch much worse hits than this - I long for the days when espn nfl prime time would feature “ you got jacked up” and it features big hits - the nfl stepped in and forced them to stop playing that segment. Nfl is pathetic and un watchable- — maybe we should make guys like jack lambert Ronnie Lott dick Butkus etc etc etc turn in their gold hof jackets because they were “dirty criminal thugs “when they played

[JayDr3am]

Get him off the field. Suspend for next season too

Music doesn’t quite go with the video...

It’s espn though so probably a left handed transgender millennial editing it

[MinnesotaFats]

He'll be back week 10.

NFLPA will win appeal on this.

no he doesnt get paid


Vontaze Burfict has now been suspended four times for a total of 22 games, costing him $4,622,182 in salary and been fined nine other times totaling $411,064. Over $5M lost for unacceptable on-field actions.

[kidcudi92]

You dumb fukks think this is because of one hit, he’s been doing this shit for years now

[cincinnatikid513]

menace

a person whose actions, attitudes, or ideas are considered dangerous or harmful

[fried cheese]

i wonder if sports illustrated is the reason all this crap started.

[khaden]

men

a person whose actions, attitudes, or ideas are considered dangerous or harmful

That attitude and approach use to make you an all pro and possible HOF if you played defense esp middle linebacker now it gets banned from the nfl

Unfortunately everything changes....i never had to sit in a car seat...we could drink at 18....shit happens for the worst every day

[thechaoz]

AB worth the headache... this bum is not.

You can't get him on the damn field, so idk about that.

I still roll with roadies all the time still. Guess I'm OG like that.

When you know there will be severe penalties for this it's called "low impulse control"

Is this the same dude in which his daughter was diagnosed with Cancer???

Perhaps he's taking his anger out on others?

I had to turn the shitfest off last night. Constant flags, constant players faking injuries and laying on the field, endless commercial breaks, too many challenges allowed and all they do is stop the game so more commercials can be shown. Tackling the QB is no longer allowed.

[MUHerd37]

Football just too soft these days.

[Goat Milk]

Football just too soft these days.

Na man, this guy cost pit a possible championship if I recall right when he knocked out Brown on a cheap shot. He claimed Brown was faking, then Brown never got cleared to play in the next playoff game (I think?)

He's head hunting. Football is a sport, it's not a game of "let's see who can hurt each other first." It's a game. It's not UFC or MMA.

[johnnyvegas13]

Should b sus for life

He is gonna comeback next season and really flkkk someone up now

[Goat Milk]

Gruden should be called into question for giving this guy a chance, and not only that, allowing him to wear a Captain sign? What a disgrace. If Doyle doesn't duck his head for a split second there, we could be looking at paralyzation.

football is supposed to be about physically dominating ppl and inflicting pain. they would be playing flag football if it wasnt.

[GzaTheGenius]

Poor Doyle was on his knees and defenseless.. just thouch him down here

Guy deserves everything he gets.. not to mention he already ruined ABs career/life

[Goat Milk]

Football is a game, a sport. If it was just about inflicting pain, why are their skill positions, and a football, and rules, and a field? Why not just toss everyone in the mud and say "attack, last man standing wins it for his team."

You can inflict mental and physical pain, but you don't have to try and decapitate someone or go in with the mentality like "I'm gonna end this guy's career."

[cincinnatikid513]

what i see on youtube videos chuck cecil hit you but it wasn't dirty with the helmet to helmet

[Kermit]

How many dirty hits/moves has he pulled in his career to deserve getting suspended?

[floki]

hes a thug

[johnnyvegas13]

How many dirty hits/moves has he pulled in his career to deserve getting suspended?

Anyone who watched him knows

[Kermit]

Anyone who watched him knows

I am not arguing him getting suspended, I am curious how many he has. I know of 5 things that he had done before this including trying to twist Cam's foot off.

because its also about strategy overcoming physical superiority. its about having the courage to go for a throw or catch when you know you that there is a guy about to unload on you. there are ppl in every sport that try to end ppls careers. in baseball they throw at ppls heads for watching a homerun too long. head to head hitting, blindside blocks, touching the qb, horse collars, are all ridiculous penalties. if ppl dont want to play dangerous sports like football and boxing then they dont have to. i heard they are gonna try a pro flag football league. im sure everyone will love it since no one enjoys football for the hitting.
