Report: Concussions put Burfict's career in jeopardy

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

Here's an item that will interest Steeler fans:

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the career of Bengals' Vontaze Burfict could be in jeopardy because of concussions. He has already sustained seven in his career, including one last Sunday vs. the Browns - his second this month:

Normally this type of news would tend to sadden NFL fans. But just guessing that it won't be received that way here...

Karma is a *****

 

[madinsomniac]

Well if you don’t use your head to take out the other guys head all the time maybe you don’t end up as a casualty yourself....

Idiot should have had his career ended by the league anyhow...

 

[slashsteel]

I'd piss on him on his way out.

**** burf defect.

 

[CharlesDavenport]

The irony..

 

[SteelerFan448]

I don't like to see anyone injured and hope he doesn't have any long term issues from this. We all know Burfict should have been kicked out of the league a long time ago and hopefully this is the end and he can go out there and enjoy his retirement.

This dude deserves what is coming to him. He knowingly tried to injure players on multiple occasions. He will be in concussion protocol for the rest of his life.

He will probably become a rapper.

He will probably become a rapper.

I think he has a better chance to star in the Ohio penal league.

It's sad that Burfict will likely get CTE later in life with all the damage to his head and brain.

 

[warriors42]

This ****** will end up killing someone and end up in prison or dead himself. He had mental issues way before he had concussions.

His head was damaged long before he came to the NFL.

whoop dee doo and dickory dock.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Why? There is nothing in there.

 

[bigtwnvin]

Shame, I hate what Burfict has become but he was quite the impact player in his early years. His coaches allowed that headhunter mentality to exist so his aberrant behavior isn't really all his fault.
Unfortunately he'll likely be yet another CTE casualty parked in a wheelchair in a corner at a long term facility drooling and ******** and pissing himself one day.

Couldn’t happen to a better *******

He began with brain damage, CTE probably made it better

Announcer crying over a legal hit on Burfict.

Didn't we have one of those...................currently out of football




Salute the nation

 

[bermudasteel]

I can't say that this makes me "happy" - Burfict is/was the nastiest player I've ever seen play the game and like it's been discussed he should have been given a pink slip years ago...

Wishing him ill-will later in life is not classy. I pray that someone is there to take care of him...

 

[Stryker]

It's better for the whole league that he never plays again.

His style of play is reckless, and he uses his helmet as a weapon. Don't feel bad for him one bit, and he deserves every day of pain he gets for playing like a doucher.
