Come on, you're a better poster than that. You're not Brad or some of those other jokers on the JN. He was wrapped up by two players, his progress was stopped, he was on his way down and Burfict came in with a lowered shoulder toward his head. He could've pulled up. He had plenty of time. He didn't and only caught ABs shoulder first, then his head, then more solidly Bates forehead. The intent was there and it's obvious. It was stupid for any player let alone VB who's got a giant target on his back AND a history. Well, because of his history.
At least be honest and admit the obvious.
