Things to File Away For Next Year’s NFL Draft: Arizona State’s Vontaze Burfict Punched Out a Teammate
Vontaze Burfict is widely regarded as one of the best linebackers in the country, and a first-round lock next year if he enters the NFL draft. At his best, he’s got the speed and power of Lawrence Taylor.
Sure, he’s had some problems in the past – Burfict barely qualified academically (he needed a summer class) and last year he was suspended by his coach for taking too many cheap shots on opponents. Nick Fairley did the same thing and was crucified online; Burfict, because he plays for the lowly Sun Devils, basically caught no heat.
Burfict’s latest transgression is that he threw a punch at a teammate in the locker room. It’s still unclear what happened, but Burfict definitely threw at least one punch. From the Republic:
According to a source, Burfict waited for Ozier in the locker room. He threw a punch, Ozier threw a punch and the fight was broken up
And from Sports by Brooks:
In the aftermath of a verbal confrontation between Burfict and Arizona State wide receiver Kevin Ozier during a Wednesday Sun Devil practice, the star ASU linebacker initiated a blindside attack on Ozier from inside the team’s locker room, sucker-punching the diminutive wide receiver in the face.
The force of the blow knocked Ozier, who Burfict outweighs by 50 pounds, to the ground.
Ozier, who was initially unresponsive after Burfict delivered the brutal, blindside shot to his head, eventually recovered from the assault.
This guy will fit in perfectly with the Steelers or Ravens, right? Nah, he never gets by the Raiders in the Top 10.

I think this is the biggest point made. The new wage scale means teams can try for a risky talent and not be burdened with a major cap hit if it backfires.

Are they classy? Probably not, since they employ a defense full of junkyard dogs and barely street-legal lunatics. Do they run a nice organization? Yessir.

What does that have to do with anything? We didn’t accuse the steelers of being a “rapey” organization… just one that hires a bunch of dudes that don’t have much “class,” yet it’s constantly held up in some glorious “classy” light because their owner is tight with the Big O. I have no problem with an organization taking on guys with less than stellar characters, that’s how college football teams are good for the most part (see: florida) but just don’t go pretending they’re a bunch of falsely accused saints. Which is the first thing steelers fans go to “He was only ACCUSED…” yada yada yada.

I’m pretty sure that would end my commenting career
August 8th, 2011 at 2:45 PM
Dirt made reference to blowhards wanting Big Ben ranked in the Top 5 of QB’s, so I gave my personal Top 5.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:46 PM
Great. I’m sure this is getting a post.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:46 PM
Seems like a good dude.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:46 PM
we don’t hate the colts for that.
we hate the steelers because of the fans, plain and simple. you people are horrible, horrible people. and im being generous calling you mutant cousinfuckers “people.”
August 8th, 2011 at 2:46 PM
Why? The Yankees won in 2009 and you survived that.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:46 PM
who just want Big Ben listed in the top 5 QBs,
Based on football skills and winning, Ben is a Top 5 QB in the league. Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Ben.
see? You can’t let anything go. Anything I say, you perceive as a slight to your precious organization.
I don’t “hate” the Steelers, I “hate” you.
/not you in particular, but pissy little crybaby steeler fans who think the Steelers don’t get enough respect somehow, despite all the respect they get
//I don’t hate you, so don’t cry, crybaby

To be fair, TBL has rooted for the Red Sox in the past.
/never forget
August 8th, 2011 at 2:47 PM
ditto. then again, im close with TBL’s golf antagonizing.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:47 PM
Browns won the preseason opener last year at Lambeau…Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace were surgeons on the field, keep the faith
August 8th, 2011 at 2:48 PM
Eh I don’t hate the Steelers. I despise how the Jets are covered and how their partisans on here act like they have the same history as teams like the Steelers or Niners or Cowboys. And for that matter, I hate the Cowboys too.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:48 PM
Ive grown up with the Yankees winning. I’m used to that.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:48 PM
Why are we trying to rank top 5 qbs again? It goes in tiers people. Groups of 4. Big Ben is still in the second tier.
that was a good TBLAD game. I wish those comments still existed.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:48 PM
For the record, I don’t hate the Steelers. Not one bit. Good defense is fun to watch and Troy has great hair. I also don’t root for a team in the AFC so it’s easier for me to be neutral to them.
Their fans, while they did take over Chicago in 2009, were actually quite nice to Chicagoans in the bars. I had more than one Steeler fan buy me a drink during that game. And the Bears actually won that one!

Video of TBL doing the Merton Hanks chicken dance, for starters.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:48 PM
you’re lying.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:48 PM
can’t wait. has Duffy been alerted yet?

Is this true?
/Vows never to read a MLB post written by TBL ever again.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:48 PM
When I worked near the Princeton area/Rt. 1 corridor, I learned to hate the Giants more than the Cowboys. Giants fans were every-fucking-where. They made Jets and Steeler fans seem charming by comparison.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:49 PM
WHAT?
August 8th, 2011 at 2:49 PM
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to!
August 8th, 2011 at 2:50 PM
This is great.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:50 PM
Oh, it’s true. It’s DAMN true.
/Kurt Angle
If there were archives, you could look back and see a young TBL rooting for the Red Sox against the Rays in the ALCS.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:51 PM
For some reason, he was totally against the Rays getting in good in 2008. So he rooted for the Sox to beat them. It was really weird.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:51 PM
just call em “preseason champs” and they shut up.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:52 PM
Giants fans were every-fucking-where.
I live nestled between Giants fans and Pats fans. (and yanks and sox). All of them suck, but the Giants fans are the worst.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:53 PM
so..any thoughts on Ricky Williams signing in Baltimore as a backup?
Was that discussed already?
August 8th, 2011 at 2:53 PM
Saw that Courtland Finnegan-Andre Johnson video, and had to find this version of it. The mic’d up one. You can hear the punches land and Finnegan grunting.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:53 PM
I’ll be here as long as Dirt is commenting and Spencer is spewing his hyperbolic bile.
/I mean that as a compliment
August 8th, 2011 at 2:54 PM
I rooted for the Red Sox in 2004 AFTER they beat the Yankees. I use the term “root” loosely. I hate the Cardinals more than the Red Sox because of the Cub roots and at that point, I just wanted the curse to be over and for baseball to have a great story of how it ended.
As soon as Foulke got that last out though, I was immediately cleansed of any and all positive sentiments regarding the Boston Beanballers. But in 2008, I was pulling HARD for the Rays. A Boston repeat would have been catastrophic.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:54 PM
I live in Giants country now. It blows. I miss living in Bills country by a long shot
August 8th, 2011 at 2:54 PM
I thought you reserve your hard pulling for Jeter.

August 8th, 2011 at 2:55 PM
Good signing by the Ravens, but I love Ricky so may be bias. I was really bummed when I say he went to them.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:55 PM
I picture every Giants fan as Patton Oswalt, or that crying fan from youtube.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:55 PM
I can never root for the Red Sox. Ever.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:56 PM
That’s pretty much where I work/live. I can deal with the Giants fans somewhat because they aren’t complete assholes like Jets fans are. Also the whole winning Superbowls since 1969 as well.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:56 PM
That wired version is tremendous, Finnegan got punked big time.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:56 PM
god damnit…i could root for sticky ricky on the steelers, but not the ravens man. not the fucking ravens.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:57 PM
2007 was the hardest baseball season to go through. I wanted the Tribe to win that ALCS so badly. Watching them piddle those last 3 games down their leg was brutal. The Rockies in the World Series just didn’t seem like it was real. You kinda knew they were getting beaten, and quickly.
Sorry if I opened your wounds there, Clevelanders. I felt your pain.

Spence secretly harbors love for James Harrison. I know he does.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:59 PM
well that’s just a horrifying mental image.
August 8th, 2011 at 3:02 PM
it’s not secret at all…ive loved james harrison from before he was a starter. it started when he decapitated a browns fan who ran on the field during the xmas eve game where the stillers put it in the browns’ starfish dry. was in the endzone about 5 rows back…had a nice view.
also, anyone that’s crazy enough to be nicknamed “silverback” by a bunch of NFL players on the roughest team in the league must be fucking amazing.

Tampa Bay should draft him and put his locker next to LaGarrett’s.
