I have defended Tez in the past and even had him as my sig one year sitting on a couch with a small dog and on his arm i tattooed "Free Burfict".
Anyway
The shit regarding Tez has went beyond grating. Look, i hate what the NFL has become and am hanging on by a thread here with the Bengals - a team i have backed for 38 years. Defense is dead and i hate it. Burfict appears to have become the last remaining symbol of the old way LB's use to play. Mean and every now and then dirty.
The pussification of the league with Burfict as it's prominent symbol makes me literally cringe as does most things online in this PC world we live in. In a way Tez is my last gasp at sticking around and sometimes - just sometimes - i wish they would just ban him so i can get the hell out as well.
My reply to those that say he going to seriously injure someone someday is the same as it has always been and that is:
If Burfict wanted that he could have and would have already done it. But the reality is thus far he has injured exactly one person that missed one game on a questionable hit. Or maybe it was two i can't remember. All i know is those players still play.
Meanwhile the guy that "Gio Sphered" our running back in the same game ends up ending his own career on a similar head hunt - and he is labeled a hero.
No. It was just a unfortunate hit.
