In what’s become an all too recurring theme of his career, the negatives that Vontaze Burfict brings to the table outweighed any positives.
On one play Sunday, Burfict was flagged for an unnecessary roughness. Two plays later, Burfict made contact with an official for not only an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, but an ejection.
Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict has been ejected from the game against Tennessee after making contact with an official.

When walking off the field, Burfict wasn’t exactly the model of humility.

In any other organization, Vontaze Burfict would of likely been shown door long ago. Bengals reward his antics w/extension. Ejected again

And perhaps, in a weird way, we should be thanking Burfict for that. This has been an absolutely crazy year in the NFL alone. It’s nice to know that we can depend on some things.
Burfict acting like an idiot to hurt his team (like this) remains about reliable as it gets.
