I liked the punch from Greg with his last line of the video.

Final comment was basically, "he's a retard"

No major media outlet even touching this.

 

EDIT: Now they are

Lol "that is why he knocks himself out half the time"

[ItsPantone278]

I love to roll through the comments on ESPN.  There are so many dumb ass macho men out there.

I love Greg. He can say some poo but he says it so well they can't dismiss it. Credibility I suppose.

Yeah twisting someone's ankle while they're face down on the ground is the opposite of being a tough guy.

[Clicheking]

Damn Greg shots fired....I said it doing the gameday thread the guy is a grade A asshole, running around  launching himself like a torpedo at guys head. Suspend that dumbass

Guys sit in their office or toll booth and spout off about putting dresses on QBs. There are very few people outside the NFL that take hits like those men and most of them are disabled or dead.

This is an op-ed from a former Bears Ball Boy in 2003. Ron Rivera rejoined the Franchise in 2004. 

 

 

 

 On game days my pockets were always full of these tiny ammonia stimulants that, when sniffed, can trick a brain into a state of alertness. After almost every crowd-pleasing hit, a player would stagger off the field, steady himself the best he could, sometimes vomit a little, and tilt his head to the sky. Then, with eyes squeezed shut in pain, he’d scream “Eric!” and I’d dash over and say, “It’s O.K., I’m right here, got just what you need.”

 

 

 

 

Cameramen know not to show players sniffing salts, and I participated in similar acts of cover-up. One of my jobs was sorting through postgame laundry. Cleaner uniforms would be set aside for football card companies to purchase for their line of “game-used inserts.” Dirty uniforms, meanwhile, like all the girdles filled with blood and feces because some hits are savage enough to overpower the central nervous system, I’d put in a special bin for disposal.

 

 

I don't think most of us comprehend the amount of violence out there. Even with the rules changes.

It was the Panthers...who cares about them?

It was Cam Newton...they hope he gets injured.

 

That's why.

 

Had this been Luck or Wilson the outcry by ESPN and company would've been so loud Goodell would've had to respond to it today.

I'm happy to see that the vast majority of people leaving comments in articles on this story believe what he did was clearly intentional and that Burfict should be punished.

the coverage is half assed to.  Nobody will post the pictures of the actual twisting of the ankles only moments before.  And these ignorant fans who aren't even bothering to inform themselves are calling Greg a cry baby.  Citing the "fact" that football is a tough sport and it happens all the time.  Greg is right.  Its targeting, its premeditated, its classless, and should not be tolerated in any shape or form.  This almost reminds me off the bully-gate only this is a physical assault.

[DCR]

It's the a hard game , but deliberately injuring a player should mean ejection and suspension

 

pleased to see the panthers are reporting it to the league, it may save some players careers if

 

Goodall  has the balls to do something about it , without being forced to by the media

I checked to see if they play the Colts this season and lo and behold, their next game is against the Colts. Maybe it's meant to be. He'll go out there and do the same to Luck, and then the sports world will care. Although ESPN is so devious they might act like him doing it to Luck is the first time they've ever seen anything like it. When you monopolize sports news on TV, you start believing that if you don't report it, it won't be a story, and if you make it up the world will believe it. 

 

I don't know why Rivera acted like he needed to think about whether to send in the tape and make a big deal of it. He needed to be as irrate in his comments as Olsen was, and quit being a chump.
