Are you this dumb in real life?

So they aren't across the 50 on the Steelers side?

C'mon...you love the tough guy Burfict!  At least admit when he's being a "tough guy".

Oh, and it's also interesting that the Bengals players defended him saying he was....wait for it....baited into doing it becuase of the williams tweet a couple weeks before.    AND blamed the commissioner...because there is NO reason to blame the knucklehead who actually did it.

Quote:CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth was adamant in saying NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was to blame for a scuffle that occurred before Sunday's Steelers-Bengals game.


Whitworth, a onetime Bengals player rep, was incensed that the league didn't punish Steelers linebacker Vince Williams for a series of tweets Williams directed at Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict following the teams' Nov. 1 meeting. The tweets have since been deleted.



According to Whitworth and others in Cincinnati's locker room, it was those tweets that set off Burfict before Sunday's game and caused him to come face mask to face mask with Williams near midfield.

"I'll get in trouble for this, but this is the NFL's fault," Whitworth said. "The bottom line is, I love the Pittsburgh Steelers, I love Mike Tomlin, but they had a player that made a death threat to one of ours after the last game about spilling his blood in the streets, and everyone saw it, and the NFL did nothing about it.

"And so they allowed there to be that kind of animosity and that kind of thing around."
