Quote:The fact that williams deleted the tweet indicates either he got a dose of sense, or someone told him and he thought better of his stupidity. Burfict getting in his face before the game to say "here I am" was perfectly fine.

The Bengals want to beat up their older brother and take control of the division.  Add to that the half-brain-between-them Jones and Burfict and you have a powder keg ready to blow.

The officials could have handled it by calling some personal fouls on both teams but instead they just kept separating players.

I know how much the Bengals fans hate history but its 2005...again.  Its TJ wiping his shoes with the Terrible Towel.  Its CJ with his black and white vs color television.  Dumbasses with bigger mouths than brains.  And a young, talented team in the Bengals who are defined by one or two idiots and a coach who can't control them on or off the field.

So, in essence you either believe Williams really intends to kill Burfict or you believe that the idea that a "death threat" was made is a laughable one.

But that doesn't changed the fact that he hit the send button and his words were out there. Maybe emotions got the best of Williams that day, but nothing can hide what he said and what it meant. "Going to paint you" = I'm going to shoot you. There's no debate, and it doesn't take a "urban" type of individual to figure out that's what he meant. You keep downplaying this in defense of him to try and win this pissing match of "who's player said what" on social media.

(12-16-2015, 11:10 AM)GMDino Wrote: Not to put too fine a point on it but no one, and I do mean no one, has ever shown what "paint" means.  Even in an urban slang type of situation.

Bengals fans assumed that a professional athlete put on line that he was going to actually, physically kill another human being.  The rest of the world seems to think he means mess him up.

Clearly it was a matter of emotions getting in the way of sense.

As was the reaction by the Bengals (Jones / Burfict) and some of their fans.

That sounds JUST like threatening to kill him.

The only one showing their panties in this thread is you and your fellow Steeler fans. You are all jealous Burfict plays for the Bengals and not for the Squealers. Heck most of your fan base idolizes a freaking rapist. You and your fans are just too funny trying to bash tough football players like Burfict, yet turn a blind eye to those on your own team.

Burfict really isn't that good. He has done literally nothing - 0's across the board in his stat sheet - except get about 7 tackles a game playing behind a dominating front 4. He wouldn't start over Timmons, Shazier or Spence at ILB and he'd be useless as a OLB for the Steelers.  He'd be in front of Vince Williams on the depth chart which is probably all you guys need to hear to chalk up a win.

I have no doubt you and other fear Burfict because all of you know he is one tough SOB who has no fear of anything Pittsburgh.
