I didn't quote anything from ESPN in my post. Fwiw, I hate ESPN. Can't stand them. Other than their fantasy football section, I go to their site very, very little. And I haven't watched a single Sportscenter in at least 5 years.
I did link from their site, just because they had the video of the play in question. It's right there at the top. If people want to watch it and see for themselves, it's there to be viewed. I can't understand how anyone could see that and come to the conclusion that Burfict was just falling down.
IMHO, when people go out of their way to describe something differently than what actually happened it usually means they're desperate to make a point and/or they're reaching. Why describe the play as him simply falling down? That's not what happened. And if you feel it was still a clean play then why go out of your way to describe it differently? It reminds of when some of our fans described Adam Jones' reaction to having a beer poured on him as him "fearing that she was going to jab the glass in his eye".
Shit is ridiculous. Burfict went low, Bennett didn't have the ball, nor was he targeted. You can take from that what you will. He did not just fall down, regardless of where you stand on whether it was clean or not. Adams Jones had a drink poured on him and he slapped the offender in the face. He did, in a split second, fear he was going to have his eye cut with a glass. These things simply didn't happen. And, for the life of me, I can't figure out why some of you go to the lengths you do to change the narrative.
To each their own I suppose.
