Burfict running into the camera is what hurt the man and that was totally unavoidable. The fact that he pushed the camera over after means nothing really. Maybe he thought it would just swivel out of the way. Who knows

You damn homers will make excuses for anything, he did a dumb thing, and he tends to do dumb things, needs to fix that.

This is getting crazy. I see players run into cameramen all the time. Nelson was right beside Burfict and he could not stop either. It was obviously an accident.
He may have intentionally pushed down the camera after he ran into it, but that was meaningless and did not hurt anyone.

I don't think many fans excused or defended him for the 2 ankle twists and the ball tap. But this here and the legit Bell tackle? You betcha! Whats so crazy about thinking a camera may be on a swivel?

It sure looks intentional. There is no need or excuse for that. Easy Boy. It appeared that there were two Bengals heading full speed towards the camera. Burfict puts his hands out to mitigate the impact he senses is unavoidable. The cameraman tried to steady the camera but being top-heavy it tipped off its riser and toward the other camera. I was concerned there may have been someone UNDER the camera - apparently not.

But Lewis let it be known he wasn’t happy with Burfict’s actions in the end zone during the first half Thursday night. After he teamed with safety Reggie Nelson to successfully cover Browns tight end Gary Barnidge in the back of the end zone on third down that forced a field goal, Burfict’s momentum brought him near a camera platform and when he and Nelson stepped up on it Burfict appeared to knock over a camera held by veteran stadium cameraman Jim Strickler.
“Vontaze was asked to reach out to Jim. Jim has been spoken to this morning (by the Bengals front office),” Lewis said. “And he was saying: ‘Oh, he (Burfict) doesn’t have to do that, I understand those things happen.’ But Vontaze is waiting for him to be finished with his shift. I guess he’s a hard working person and did an early shift today at his other job (Channel 5) as well. Vontaze was asked to reach out and say he’s glad Jim wasn’t injured any more severely.”
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...

That's the way the media spun it anyway. Burfict asked to reach out on his own, at least that is what I read, then it turned into Marvin & the FO asking him to.

Maybe the Bengals should have gotten Burfict's side of the story before they told Burfict to apologize for something which was completely unavoidable. Oh, wait . . . they're not that gullible.

The guy that actually got hit had no problem with what happened, but if any of us say the same thing then we are "damn homers who will make excuses for anything"? Looks like the old hater crowd is just desperate for something to ***** and cry about. I do feel kind of sorry for them. though. It is really hard on them for us to be 8-0. |
