Mike Mitchell's A Trashy Punk

[BFritz21]

Remember when he tried to jump over the line last season when the offense was taking a knee to end the game and even one of his own teammates called him out on it?

Now, multiple sources are saying he told AJ Green "you're next," after he took A CHEAP SHOT AT A DEFENSELESS MARVIN JONES, WHO WAS STRETCHED OUT TRYING TO CATCH THE BALL:

Quote:Celebrating right after the hit while running across the field is exactly what the Steelers criticized Burfict for doing, and they turned right around and did the same thing to Jones, minutes later.

But Mitchell is going to ignore that for the sake of making the Bengals and Burfict look bad. For all they knew, that hit could have busted Jones' spleen, given him a concussion or something worse as he laid there in pain. It's sickening to ever see a player celebrating someone else's injury and foolish to put blame on someone without truly knowing what was going through their mind.

Point being, the Steelers are hypocrites for calling out Burfict for possibly celebrating Bell's injury while their own players celebrated Jones' injury, in the same game. Making this even more egregious for Pittsburgh was Mitchell told A.J. Green, "you’re next," after the hit on Jones, indicating he planned to cause some harm to Green as well, per multiple media sources.

So, not only are the Steelers criticizing Burfict for an act they also committed, but their own player even suggested they were ready to injure another Bengals player in the same manner. Also, we can't forget Mitchell's big hit last season that left Green concussed. In case you forgot, concussions are a very scary thing, and Green's concussion left him unable to play in the Bengals' Wild Card playoff game against the Colts.

Again, none of this is meant to defend Burfict and what he may or may not have done, but to point out the ridiculous level of hypocrisy the Steelers showed on Sunday.

Also, in case you didn't realize, Mitchell ended up leaving the game with a potential concussion of his own and will now be going through the league's concussion protocol; karma certainly is something.

I've said all-along that he's a punk and he's proving it more and more.

Will the Steelers discipline him or even cut him, or will they simply look the other way because he's a starter?
