He has accumulated $4,038,534 in fines and forfeited salary through his career. :shocked:

Wow, and that hasn't taught him a lesson..........so he's dirty and stupid as fuck too.

The NFL doesn't need guys like this, they can fuck up their image all by themselves without the help of morons like him.

I don't know, I go back and forth. I originally selected long suspension and big fine which I think should definitely happen (like a year suspension since fines don't seem to work on him, eventually teams won't think he's worth it). But I didn't actually watch the video first. I then watched it and changed it to yes. I haven't watched that many Bengals games so only ever saw the highlights of the big helmet to helmet hits. Which are dirty as hell but in the moment of the play I give a slight pass to players as far as it being bannable. But after watching how often he goes after peoples knees when they don't even have the ball, that's just a calculated shot at trying to injure someone just to injure them. And the foot twisting and all that bullshit. But I don't know, some have done worse but he seems to do it over and over again so I wouldn't complain if they kicked the douchebag out of the league.

Google him and dirty plays and you can see him twisting ankles and diving into knees and more........he has no place in a sport.

I watched him in college. I wanted the Rams to draft him. I do agree he is very dirty. But I'm going to have to disagree with getting him thrown out of the league. That is an overreaction; the man is a headcase for sure. And I do think a suspension & hefty fine is necessary.

But this is football. You slap him on the wrist. And since he has a history of it, put him on timeout like a child. Cut into his wallet. But keep it known, this is a contact sport. Even if you have to sit him for the rest of the year. But to ban a player is over doing it.

So far that hasn't made him behave differently. It isn't working, the NFL needs to do more.

He continues to try to injure players despite the list of fines etc I copied and pasted from an article from BEFORE this year started, the NFL doesn't need to have guys like that on the field. Injuries happen in a sport like this in large enough numbers that we don't need someone making efforts to do damage to other players.

He should lose the opportunity to play and have to reapply for reinstatement after one year.

Look at this list, it doesn't include this season and it doesn't include cheap shots he didn't get fined for.

........................................................

In just six years in the NFL, Burfict has been suspended or fined a ridiculous 11 TIMES. Here's a rundown on all that madness:

That's Suh of the Lions and Dolphins.

The LA Rams Suh hasn't done anything dirty that I've seen.

Actually someone or something got to him in Miami because he stopped that shit and started acting like an adult.

His last two seasons there he was trouble free.

Either a coach or team mate got him to change or it may have been players giving him a taste of his own medicine. Or maybe there was language in his contract about that type of thing

IIRC he cost the Dolphins a game a few years back with a dirty hit on a pick-6 return. Maybe that did it.
