How many times has he done that? He needs to be suspended for a looong time if the NFL really is serious about preventing head injuries.

15 years ago this was actually legal in the NFL.

Burfict is bad news though. He should have been out of the league years ago.

Tbis guy's not gonna change. He's proven over and over that he's a bad egg. He needs to be banned, not just suspended.

So was the Clothes Line, DE Head Slap, Crack Back and Cut Block, Spearing. Look up Jim Youngblood almost kill Tommy Kramer.

My dad used to tell me stories about those "old Raiders" from the Tom Flores era. Jack Tatum was a guy who literally played the game as if he was trying to seriously injure the opponent. His hit (unnecessary on a defenseless player) ended Daryl Stingley's career & unfortunately left him paralyzed.

Jack Tatum was extremely dirty. The Raiders back then prided themselves on being a dirty team. Whether it was lathering arms up in stick 'em glue or head hunting play, they made sure they left teams battered and bruised.

When they played the Bears in what was dubbed the "most violent NFL game ever", the Bears were focused on inflicting pain right back and giving them a dose of their own medicine.

This game was so bad that Jim McMahon had a lacerated kidney and urinated blood. Both teams were trying to kill each other.
