#Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict fined $25K for twisting ankles of Cam Newton, Greg Olson. Will be summoned to league office next infraction


He might get summoned, scary

For reference, Jimmy Graham was fined $30k for his preseason dunks.

Hargrove lost his career for possibly saying "Pay me my money"

And these obvious intentional acts to injure an opponent by a repeat offender gets a stern talking to.






Olsen Video


Both players had previous ankle injuries

Haven't we already established the commish goes by his trusty magic 8-ball on matters such as this?

Colin Kaepernick would be fined more for wearing Beats three weeks in a row.

So if there is video evidence? It's always a slap on the wrist?

If you can't prove shite? You have the hammer brought down?

Jimmy dunks over a goalpost and gets a 30k fine and Burfict intentionally tries to injure two players and he only gets a 25k fine. I guess that is Goodell logic

I would of said four game suspension and 50,000 fine.

He is actively trying to break an ankle. I see that done on TV replays of games and always wonder how they seem to get away with it.

That's horrible of a player to try to do that. Roger is such a terrible dictator.
