Burfict should call a press conference and this should be the gist of his statement:
"Thank you all for coming. I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to my teammates, to the coaching staff of the Bengals, and to Bengals fans and fans of the NFL. My actions were not indicative of the kind of player I am nor the kind of player I want to be. I admit I wanted to give Brown a little bump, but I did not intend to hit him in the head, nor did I intend to injure him and any claims to the contrary are spurious and defamatory.
I also wanted to publicly declare that it is my desire that in moving forward, I want to be known for making only clean, legal hits and tackles. To that end, I hereby publicly vow that any tackle I make to any non-quarterback, will be exactly like the one that Shazier put on Gio in the Wild Card game. I will launch myself and put the crown of my helmet into the facemask of the runner. I will make sure they are a runner, first, but that is how I plan on tackling every non-QB. The NFL, through its silence and lack of discipline against Shazier, has deemed this to be okay, which has been backed up by numerous analysts. As such, there should be no cause for concern about my actions going forward.
Thank you for your time."
I would LOVE it if he said something to this effect.

I think he should call a press conference with Goddell and when Roger takes the podium out of nowhere Burfict comes flying in with a shot, knocking him off the stage and on his ass.

It'd be better if he came out and held up a picture of James Harrison and said 'I learned from the best' and walked away.

Unhallowed, be thy name
Cursed be thy sons and daughters
Of our nemesis who are to blame
Thy kingdom come, Nema

All while highlights of steelers cheap shots against him play on a loop on a screen behind him.

But first make sure Goodell is running up to the stage.

I like this whole idea... but I could never believe those were really Burfict's words if I ever heard him say the phrase "spurious and defamatory."

I email the commissioner's office every day about the hit on Gio. It doesn't do anything, but it makes me feel better.

I want Burfict to call a press conference, play the Shazier hit (which apparently isn't illegal according to the NFL's lack of penalty OR fine) and say "Open season on the Steelers jaws! Head on a swivel, boys! This shit is NFL sanctioned! Just try fining or suspending me for this, biaaaaaatches."
Or something like that.
