With complaints mounting regarding the play of Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict in Sunday's 37-37 tie against the Carolina Panthers, the NFL is set to launch an investigation. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the league will take a closer look at whether the Pro Bowl defender attempted to injure Panthers players in Week 6:

 

As seen in these images courtesy of Panthers photographer Jeremy Igo, Burfict appeared to twist Olsen's ankle after making a tackle:

Igo, just don't forget where you came from, don't forget about us common folk!!  

[Mother Grabber]

the Taints should send us a fruit basket, if he gets suspended and is there to twist poor little Drew's ankle off, or the future of their franchise, Brandon Cooks.

Olsen just a baby. Lost all respect for the Panthers.

We don't need your respect. Your respect isn't worth the dirt on a turd

 

As a Panthers fan, I'm not so sure Burfict was trying to intentionally hurt them. I've seen a lot of guys on other teams make tackles like that. They usually start mid level then if they can't get them down as they are sliding off they twist the legs to trip them up. I don't know, even if he did do it on purpose I'm not sure you can prove it.

BS - I saw every bit of it.

Unless they're investigating whether this has been green-lighted by Bengals coaches, this shouldn't be much of an "investigation". Look at the photos, watch the video: easy call.

This is good exposure for you Jeremy. Congrats and be sure to send a thank you card to Vontaze.

This Igo guy is definitely some form of half man, half god, half possible centaur...either way he should be given some type of award for being a BAMF.

Shortest investigation ever?

Shortest investigation ever?

Friday fines are given out for dirty play this past weekend

[grateflday]

Fines wont work.... lose of games will.  Otherwise players wont care, to them it will just be the cost of doing business.  They will trade a pittance of their millions to take a star player out any day of the week.    All the people who are not bothered by this, wonder how they will feel when its one of their star players are out due to something like this.  The Panthers got lucky this time, but that does not mean Burfit then gets a pass.

Who was the guy that twisted Cam's ankle???  That was a plain as day and seems like Cam kicked at him as play ended.  I thought right then enough injuries in game with out trying to do them on ppurpose
