The Carolina Panther/Cincinnati Bengals game left both fans a bad taste with not knowing how to take a tie but Panther fans were sure about one thing, Bengals Vontaze Burfict played a little dirty when it came to Panthers QB Cam Newton and TE Greg Olsen.
Panthers kicker, Graham Gano, wasn’t happy when he saw the photos and videos of Bengals linebacker Burficto trying his hardest to what it seems like re-injure the ankles of Olsen and Newton. He took to his twitter to tweet his disgust of the incidents and called to the NFL to take some sort of action.
Unbelievable that a player would intentionally try to hurt my teammates twice. I hope the NFL lays down the law hard. #Unacceptable

Seriously that makes me sick. There is no room in this league 4 something like that. We are grown men, have respect for the game and others.

You can vividly see Cam Newton kick Burficto off of him because he was twisting his ankle. Understandably the NFL is a physical game but when it gets to the point of intentionally hurting other players, there has to be some type of line drawn. Who knows if the NFL will see this and fine/suspend Burficto, but something needs to be done; whether he publicly apologizes or sends a gift basket. The NFL has no room for players like that.
