Cincinnati Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict has been fined for his extra curricular activities against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. He had a pair of plays in which he was caught twisting the ankles of Cam Newton and Greg Olsen after making tackles.
The plays didn’t get any attention on the field from the refs, but the Panthers were not going to sit around quietly about the little extra twists either.
Here is a gif of Burfict giving a little extra twist on Cam:
That type of stuff is unnecessary. Cam Newton is coming back from ankle surgery and that type of stuff is UNCALLED FOR!
If Burfict is not the dirtiest player in the game, then who is. We could bring up Ndamukong Suh in the conversation for sure. He has been voted as the dirtiest in the past and his history cannot be forgotten, but Burfict has to be mentioned up there with him. They have to be the top 2.
