Vontez Burfict is the dirtiest player in the league

Much has changed over the years, about what is considered acceptable hard play, and what is considered to be "dirty".

However, if you ask me, a guy that would intentionally take out the knee is more unethical than the guy that likes to "ring the bell" of his opponent.  Why?  ACL is a season, and sometimes a career ender.  That takes away a man's livelihood.  Dizzying his head usually just gets him out of your hair, for the rest of the game.

So, is Vontaze Burfict a dirty player?  I don't really think he's dirty.  I think that he tries to push the line to it's limit with intensity, emotion, and hard physical play.  I like that in him.  Every team wants a player like him on their team, but hates to be the team facing him.  For years Bengal fans cried about players like that wearing Black and Gold.  Now their crying about the Super Destroyer wearing stripes.  I don't get it..

Yup.....way we played too.

Iwas one who always whined about the Stoolers.....and now I'm LOVING having our own enforcer!
