Good. Makes a statement to that dumbass.

I knew I should have sold my stock in penalty flags.

Can't say it's undeserved.

thats a really horrible and unfair punishment. .

He is basically being punished for the behavior of the Bengals team. . that hit doesnt deserve a 3 game suspension . .

And Shazier gets nothing?
Complete horseshit.

Was that the same guy that ran the int into the tunnel?

Shazier will likely get fined, there's no reason to suspend him though.

Burfict is a repeat offender.

It was a pretty brutal hit

Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict will surely receive league discipline for his hit to the head that gave Steelers receiver Antonio Brown a concussion. But Burfict’s discipline may not simply be the routine fine that players regularly get for helmet-to-helmet hits.

NFL discipline is designed to come down harder on repeat offenders, and Burfict’s status as a repeat offender could lead to a suspension.

Burfict was fined for three different penalties he committed the last time he played the Steelers, one low hit on Ben Roethlisberger and two unnecessary roughness calls.

In 2014, Burfict was fined $25,000 for twisting the ankles of Panthers players. In that incident, many thought Burfict got off easy, and Panthers players openly called for Burfict to be suspended.

In 2013, Burfict was fined $31,000 after one game and $21,000 after another for multiple violations, including two separate hits to the head and neck area of opposing players.

Add it all up, and it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that repeated fines aren’t getting through to Burfict. When that happens, the NFL’s next step is usually to impose a suspension. There’s a good chance Burfict won’t be on the field when the regular season begins in eight months.

And I'm pretty sure the fines for his actions in the regular season game against the Steelers were over $70k.

Dude's a ****ing cheapshot artist and deserved at least two games. Certainly not upset he got an extra.

He will appeal and get igt to 1

Just read he was fined $50k for an incident in the Week 17 game against the Ravens as well.

Repeat offender that decided to go head hunting at the same time a movie about the NFL covering up head trauma sustained by its players.

No sympathy for that idiot.
