I posted on the other thread about this, because God knows we need multiple threads about this, that this video is more of the same. You can't see if he's stepping on anything and you certainly can't read his mind to know whether it's deliberate.
The interesting thing about this clip is that it's coaches film posted by an ESPN beat reporter on Monday afternoon. Makes me wonder whether the Patriots organization fed it to him to help beat this anti-Burfict drum.
The Pats have nothing to gain by getting Burfict suspended. Even if we make the playoffs, the Pats will have a bye and we'll lose in the first round again. Plus, it's not like they had difficulty handling us with Burfict on the field.
Now, I can go with Goodell hooking the Steelers up with their first game coming during his suspension, but this is just making up conspiracies where none exist.
