Former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict has an extensive history with the Pittsburgh Steelers, to say the least.
Burfict, rarely in the news after his playing days concluded, really only popped up in headlines this past season for responding to comments from Joey Porter Jr., current Steelers cornerback.
Until now.
Now, Burfict’s comments from a Madden stream turned some heads on social media. He, essentially in not-so-kind terms, said he only played dirty against the Steelers because he didn’t like those players and/or the franchise.
One look at Burfict’s fine and suspension sheet — even after his days with the Bengals — reveals this to be an exaggeration, if not a comment made in jest.
Regardless, let’s just say it sparked some reactions, from fans to names like Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.
