Speaking of Burfict, just saw he's been suspended for the first 3 games of next season for the hit on Brown (who I'll bet makes a miraculous recovery in time for the Denver game).
Burfict will appeal, of course, and his hit on Brown was idiotic. But Brown's acting job was also Golden Globes worthy.
Pacman on Antonio Brown: “I know he was faking it”
In the heat of the moment, after the Bengals saw a win turn into a loss after back-to-back penalties on Vontaze Burfict and Pacman Jones gave the Steelers a 35-yard field goal, Jones suggested that the hit that sparked the 30-yard swing didn’t actually injure Pittsburgh receiver Antonio Brown.
After having a chance to cool off, Jones still believes Brown wasn’t hurt.
“I know he was faking,” Jones told
The Dan Patrick Show on Monday.
Jones, who tried to insist that Brown was barely hit in the head, claimed that Brown winked at Jones on his way off the field.
“I think he need a Grammy Award for that one,” said Jones, who previously offered to give Brown an Oscar.
As to the flag thrown on Jones after the flag thrown on Burfict, Jones said the penalty came from making contact with an official. But Jones was upset that Steelers linebackers coach Joey Porter was on the field.
“He was just over there calling them bitches,” Jones said of Porter’s interactions with other Bengals players.
“Coaches are held to a higher standard than players,” Jones said. “Period, point blank.” He added that offensive line coach Mike Munchak should have been ejected after pulling the hair of Bengals safety Reggie Nelson during a bizarre first-half sideline altercation.
