Breaking: Burfict Suspended (Again)

[jj22]

Ugh.

Now can we entertain trading him or is it too late?

[WeezyBengal]

Um you going to tell us why exactly?

[Au165]

Welp....

[drgonzo]

I’m curious as to what substance they’re talking about.

[TSwigZ]

PEDs

[jj22]

PED violation.

Officially done with Burfict.

[Yojimbo]

This is why he shouldn’t have been extended. At this point I’m fine with cutting him outright. As Herm Edwards says “The most important ability is availability.”

Link?

What an idiot. The excitement from the Brown signing was short lived. More than a few people were wondering if it had something to do with Burfict. Now I’m more inclined to believe we did try trading his ass the other day

[McC]

So, knowing the league has a giant target on my back, what should I do? Maybe I'll start using a banned substance. Will definitely wait to see the outcome, but, if true, the guy is just beyond redemption.

[Nicomo Cosca]

Guy is just a walking tragedy. All the talent in the world and a head for the game but just can’t get out of his own way. ***** sucks.

Likely the same one he got busted for at the combine. Ganja.

According to Adam Schefter, the disputed test happened on Dec. 27, and Burfict's appeal will argue that he was given prescribed medication for a concussion and a shoulder sprain.

That's like the opposite of performance enhancing...that's like "mind enhancing" or "eat potato chip" enhancing, maybe...

It's under thr same policy in the NFL.

And according to thr Katherine Terrell tweet it was prescribed for Concussions and shoulder pain...smells like medical green to me lol.

#Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict is facing a 4-game suspension for violating @NFL PED policy, source confirms (as @AdamSchefter said.) This explains why there were since-scuttled trade discussions with the #Raiders.
