I have to say though, I feel awful for Bell.  I don't care what team you play for, I HATE to see ANYONE hurt like that.  Looking at Bells face while he was sitting on the cart made me sick.  Felt so bad for the guy.

Totally agree with this.  I felt the same way.  2nd year in a row and not telling how it will affect his career.

But I've looked at that hit - it was totally clean.  Burfict may be reaping what he has done in the past and for his ever active mouth, but he's hardly the only trash talker in the league and there is no way you could consider that hit as dirty in any way.  It was a text book tackle that did not target his head or his knees.

The players that taunted Jones after he was plastered are the ones that should be taken to task...  Oh that's right, they were.
