That video showed what my links showed, but it missed probably the most crucial part of it all:
This proves that Porter was on the field, near/with Brown, and Burfict contacted him, contrary to the narrative that Porter wasn't near Brown and was simply in the midst of the Bengals players.
EDIT: I realized I originally ****** up the link, but it's fixed now.
This was really helpful. We could do the work of the NFL right here.
At 8:23 of the video, this is the image of Porter standing over Brown:
7 seconds later, this is Burfict in Porter's face. If you watch the video, you see Burfict walking towards Porter, who appears to be standing still as Vontaze approaches him.
And here is the image at 8:36 of the video. You see Brown. This is just as Burfict puts his hand on Brown's shoulder (you can see the hand on the shoulder), to which the trainer swipes and pushes away Burfict.
So you wanna tell me that in a total of 13 seconds, this scene went from Joey Porter standing over and looking down on Brown to somehow Joey starting a brawl? Porter goes from standing over Brown, to being approached by Burfict, to being behind Burfict when Burfict touches Brown and the trainer.
Come on Roger Goodell, the NFL and the talking heads. I'm sitting in my kitchen, watching the NCAA game, typing on my computer, using YouTube, looking at a clock, and you can clearly see what went down here.
As I said to a buddy of mine on FaceBook, I'm actually disappointed in Peezy. He acted so out of character. Like a gentleman. He bit is tongue, by and large, and was a big ***** cat. His hands were by his side. After Gilberry shoved him (not once but twice) his lips never moved, he didn't utter a word. He was so un-Joey.
Bill Cowher told him in 2005 after the Colts game, before his famous We Ride speech, to keep his trap shut. He finally listened, and paid dividends for the Steelers again.
