tsylvester Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Another targeting hit may end his season, again, pending appeal. Good, frankly he should be kicked out of the league. Oakland Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict has been suspended for the rest of the 2019 season for his helmet-to-helmet hit Sunday on Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle, the league announced. Burfict was ejected in the second quarter of the Raiders' 31-24 win. He was initially flagged for hitting Doyle in the head across the middle. But after the officials conferred, Burfict was thrown out. The league said that Burfict will be not be paid during the suspension, which covers the postseason as well. The league cited his repeated violations of unnecessary roughness rules in handing out the longest suspension ever for an on-field incident. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27735755/oakland-raiders-vontaze-burfict-suspended-rest-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsylvester Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 If he does, one more hit like that will likely get him kicked out for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
