Following the Pittsburgh Steelers’ victory on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, it was reported that the league was reviewing a few plays from the game involving Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict for consideration of possible discipline. The report also surmised that a suspension was not currently under consideration.
Why not?
Burfict’s conduct has gone well beyond the confines of football for a long time. it goes back far beyond this past season, or beyond his first suspension for his on-field conduct. It goes beyond even his rookie season, stemming from his college days.
