/ sportsillustrated - Спорт
Hearing him talk he seems harmless.......but then there is the GAME FILM LOL
and a lot of it
Dead ass
kinda like Mike Tyson...sounds like Michael Jackson...but hits like Reggie Jackson
Yeah, not at all what i expected. Pretty soft spoken.
He plays like it’s high school try to lay every one out to look cool
I was not expecting him to be so soft spoken lol.
He seems like such a nice, soft spoken dude here. But then you watch his film and it’s a totally different story.
He’s fronting here. Typical psychopath.
Exactly.
The amount of people in this comment section who don’t see his madness is staggering.
@@TastyShepherdsPie he’s never really had issue of the field
Dudes evil
It's hard believe such a nice, well-spoken, reasonably guy off the field, can be such a criminal animal on the field.
Not only is he a headhunter, there are also numerous plays where after he tackles a player he is holding on and twisting the players foot while the play is over which can break the ankle or twist the knee.
BuT wHaT aBoUt ThE 70s
@@gmo9023 are we playing in the 70s?
His legacy will be giving Antonio Brown CTE
😩
@RICKY nah its cool he only ruined the best wide reviser the nfl had to offer. juju dont got shit on burfict lmao
Antonio brown legacy will be being a little bitch
Antonio brown is dancing with the stars, burfict is a tough gritty ass player who Pittsburgh would have been proud to have on their team back in the the DEY
He wasn't the same after that
Everyone saying he's not dirty... do you know how he's tried to twist ankles of opposing team?? There's no era in NFL that would allow that.
Suh done same thing
you have never heard of the 70s then
The steelers weren't bitching when James Harrison single handedly ruin colt mccoys career by scrambling his brains.....
Yeah Harrison was a borderline dirty player too.
Karo French yeah I'll defend Harrison to an extent and I'm a Ravens fan, but the McCoy hit was as dirty as they come
Thats because Steeler fans think they are above everyone else. This is coming from one. But harrison indeed was a dirty player.
Shut the fuck up bitch besides vontaze burfict is the most shitty football player ever your team fuckin sucks bitch #BLACKANDGOLD
@@amingio4910 #Blackandsilver
If Tez played back in the 70s, he’d be a legend.
EXACTLY!!!!
the league has just gotten so pussi-fied
He already is a legend WHO DEY
He'd be out of the league... because a bounty would have been collected to injure him seriously.
Naw..he would probably be broken down or dead. They trying to save this man's life
Facts
As an alumni and fan of ASU now living in Cincinnati.....I saw the VB act for way too long. Cost us many games at ASU with meltdowns in key situations. Then did it with the Bengals. You can’t play this guy when the game is on the line because he stands a great chance of self districting at a key moment. Funny thing is the dude never caused any problems off the field at ASU or in Cincinnati. Just in the final minute of a key game. Look up 2010 Stanford at ASU when ASU had #7 Stanford and Andrew Luck beat until VB personally gave away 45 yards in personal foul penalties (one of them was picking up flag and throwing it at the ref) on the final drive to greatly assist Stanford
score a TD to lose in the final seconds 17-13. Then we all know what he did vs Steelers in the playoffs off making an INT and then over celebrating to cost Cincinnati 15 yards. Dude goes full moron with game on the line.
Man you just a hater
Should have benched him in the final 5 minutes of games, perfect strategy 😂
Well he had all the tools to be a college All-American and didn’t happen. Had all the tools to be a first round NFL pick and he didn’t even get drafted. Then the pathetically run Bengals were the only team dumb enough to take a chance on him and he cost them big time in the playoffs. Playing him in the final 5 minutes of games killed most teams he was on b/c of his antics.
hE sEeMs LiKe A nIcE gUy...
goes to show how easily it is for filmmakers/news to manipulate viewers, despite clear evidence.
he’s not a good guy.
Mike F. Do u know him personally?
Mike F. Just Bc he is a dirty player doesn’t mean he’s a bad person off the field
Mike F. You’re not smart
Erik Hernandez alright dirty dan, lmao. he’s obviously not a good human being. dirty hits r unacceptable
generation stupid do you consider the fact that when he’s running, maybe top speed, and when you’re running top speed it’s hard to bend down and make a proper hit, btw he’s not wrapping up.
Dude actually seems pretty chill
His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
The man is a dirty savage who hurts people deliberately in games. Don’t let his calm exterior deter you from the truth
Burfict be weaponizing his pads.
It's so ironic that players on the team most notorious for cheap shots over the past 40 years is crying because a team in their own division fights back.
So true
So true fucking hypocritical steelers smh
Tom Krohn all teams have fans like that
Bullies don’t like to be bullied. Bengals prove again they are still soft.
I know the Bengals are notorious for cheap shots
This guy cost the Bengals the playoff game against the Steelers! Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Yep twisting ankles after the plays isn’t dirty
He's a pos
Dawg you've never played high school football if you think that's dirty, in a dog pile everybody is twisting everything, ankles, arms, wrists, even had my nuts grabbed and pulled a few times, part of the game.
He did that once and in his rookie year, you know how much that's happened and just hasn't been caught on camera?
HollywoodHalla23 They’re talking about what goes on in game, not what goes on in your locker room bruh
ua-cam.com/video/LabiUSW1wZk/v-deo.html
i genuinely hope you cant remember your name when you're 50
My dad did his mortal combat tattoo.
He sounds so humble but then there are the videos here on the internet
damn i never knew he would sound like that lol hell yeah
My main dude. Favorite player all time... who dey baby. Cincinnati will always love you, come back to chili town taze
He’s kind of right. If he played during the 70’s or 80’s he would be considered a great player.
NFL is changing like when ever a hit looks bad or the players are hurt a flag will come out, give this dude some respect.
exactly!!!
and have you noticed that whenever the crowd oooo's and aahhhh's now the flags start flying????
it's all bullshit now!!!
nah. he is one of the dirtiest players i have ever watched play across all sports. time after time after time i have watched him go above and beyond a normal play to try and hurt somebody
thats not what i expected him to sound like
If he played 20 years ago he would be a legend. But since he plays in this soft day and age he is considered 'dirty'...
Zach Ewing Yeah twisting peoples ankles after plays and purposely trying to injure people sure is legendary.
Yeah the thing he tried to do to cam and Olsen wasn’t right
Keegy it really is :)
@Dwayne Neal no we wouldn't
Zach Ewing facts
He needs a podcast
To all the Bengals fans you are all awesome and who cares what the Steelers say WHO DEY🐯🐯🐯
WE DEY!!!!
Bengals dey
who dey I remember cowher saying that back when we beat the Bengals like always. Hey coach cowher WHO DEY WE DEY LOL😂😂😂😂. Poor bungals fans
WHO DEY
ronnie banik yeah! WE DEY fuckin daddys!!!! We won the bengals!!
Dude just a tank😂💯
Him and Romanowski would be good friends if they played together
This video makes me like Vontaze a little more. He’s definitely done some dirty stuff but I just think he’s a physical player overall
Tyler Tilla facts
I want to see a match up with Burfict with either Mean Joe or Lambert back in the day. Burfict would be drooling in his Cheerios.
nah dude is dirty as they come. legit tries to hurt people and knock them out of games. seem him do it so many times
Don Solo you must’ve never seen back in the day, burfict ain’t shit combined with the old guys. Also ever seen jams Harrison or mike Mitchell play?
@@hotshotgaming6163 Regardless of the comparison of how players were back then, this dude has zero excuse to be a scumbag.
Still one of the best
Adam Ramirez you are awesome
Adam Ramirez
hell
no
Dey
He's a RAIDER NOW......
So we just gonna ignore how this man got in a hot tub fully clothed??
💀🤣
If he played in the 70s he would've been a legend
He’s a modern day Butkus, not dirty. If you watch his “illegal” hits only one seemed malicious and the rest were full speed bang-bang type plays from an aggressive big fast linebacker. Hope he can keep his head on and healthy so he can be the legend he’s capable of being to silence the haters.
Well maybe next year. He spent this season either injured or getting fined.
What about now? Have anything to say about him?
D B leading with the crown of your helmet isn’t how a linebacker hits. Please learn football
D B either trolling or ignorant to make a dumbass comment like that.
Twisting ankles is just plain dirty and evil, not the move of a legend.
@1:24 I need a gold teeth mouth piece for football
Kobe vs Jordan go on instagram and look up @mightymouthgards and order one.
Miguel Ntirampeba that’s who they where playing next
Love this dude
Vontaze has had some dirty plays but hes starting to turn that corner where he is being smarter but still putting the boomstick on people. The officials are targeting him tho cuz if his past
di3s3l44 - No kidding. If you watched the Bengals last year, they'd throw flags on Burfict and have to pick them up when they realized he did nothing wrong. They got eyes on every move he makes. He sneezes, he gets flagged.
di3s3l44 That would be good for him. He is a decent player aside from the dirty play. I started to hate him for the hit on AB. It wasn’t because of the hit; it was because of the penalty that resulted and put the Steelers in FG-range, costing the Bengals the win.
di3s3l44 This aged well
@@tn9955
I know, right!? Reading all these Bengal fans comments saying Burfict is misunderstood and a really good guy is just comedy gold.
di3s3l44 There goes that theory
This dude has amassed over 5 million dollars in fines and withheld wages through out his NFL career!
Pittsburgh are so sacred of vontaze burfict it is so funny😂
Guess its the fear that keeps them winning then? 🤷
William Cooper you know Juju is fucked come this season right? lol
Yeah that’s why he’s gotten his ass smashed in by every offensive guard on the team? Lol they’re most definitely not.
footba11fan41ife how?
super paper mario xl it's the other way around. The overall record between the 2 teams the Bengals are the Steelers bitch plain and simple.
5.4 million in fines. My boys savage.
I honestly expected him to sound menacing
Lol
You the man Tez
I see him as a Troy Polamalu. Kind hearted and soft spoken off the field. On the field, brutal and ready to hit somebody HARD!
Cameron Demler please never disrespect Troy again.
Agreed!
Except Troy Polamalu wasn’t a dirty fucking player, lmao.
He is nothing like troy palomalu. This guy is a psychopath, plays to hurt people, and laughs about it like it’s some great accomplishment.
In reality he is a psychopath
Stop it
The media can paint a picture of someone you don’t even know. No one is perfect, but he seems like an overall good guy.
Ryan u are crazy this guy is an idiot and an asshole, half of the sport is in the attitude of you ask me that is a waste of talent right there.
He literally did that himself. He's amassed millions of dollars in fines and withheld wages due to his play. You can't blame that on the media
Everything Vontaze does, people think is dirty.
I know right
Especially when it’s against the Steelers! They flip out over every tackle he makes
Juggling Isaac Steelers own the bengals. We've beaten them 6 times in a row
Leeedy 1 no! Mike Brown owns the bengals
With good reason
Tez is the man.
I've seen a lengthy video of VB game film documenting all the incredible plays He's made in his career that were clean, smart, and legal. If you hate VB.....maybe you should look up the same video.
I don’t mind hard hits but intentionally hurting someone is fucked
He seems like the nicest guy off the field
They followed him around and filmed him for 24 hours and edited it down to 6 minutes to make him look like a great guy
Lol
Burfict is perfect
Yeah perfect at blowing games
he has settled down since cutting his dreads
pepper cola 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That intro gets me hype
He is just what the Raiders needed.
Always sounds like a teddy bear off the field. Kinda similar to Ndmekong Suh who always sound like a polite proper guy but is dirty on field.
Burfict would be a HOF'er if he was on the steelers or ravens. 10 x better than shaziers head hunting ass was. Maybe if refs would called some flags on those helmet to helmet hits he would of layed off a bit and still woulda been in the league
Chad Drury
you
do
not
what
the
hell
you
are
talking
about
Chad is an idiot. Better then Shaz, you tripping dumbass little kid
Tez Sher do got a good taste for cars I see him with that hellcat I got one it's fast as hell
I remember when Ju Ju knocked his ass out! But agreed gents, back in the day he would be glorified for his play style but todays pussified NFL he's a villain.
The NFL is changing because people now understand the risks of concussions. Multiple people have killed themselves because of head injuries from football. If you really think these rules are "pussifying" the league, you need to realize the actual threats
So...tapping the qb on the shoulder is a crazy threat?
I'm been a Patriots fan my whole life I support the Bengals because my dad loves the Bengals
Just do unto Vontaze, as he does unto others!! Haha
Go do some cookies this is a mans game. This man is a legend.
4:05 "What's it called?" (cajun food)
"90 miles" it's called Knotty Pine in Northern Kentucky
His mk tattoos r dope
So glad he's finally a fucking raider let's GOOOOO
He has mortal kombat tattoos 😂 it a Berfect combo
This dude is crazy. He doesn't sound apologetic at all. He's fuckin psycho
He sounds like an angel.....but then I see him on sunday....
This dude has the nfl record for most amount of fine 5.3 million to put into perspective brock purdy a top 3 mvp candidate gets paid 800k. This dude stole his money
🌎 Wide RAIDER NATION
I didn’t expect him to be this well spoken no cap
WOW racism much
@@play030 Not about race, about him being an asshole on the field. People who act like him are typically low IQ.
@@play030 let’s be honest here…you didn’t think so either.
20 years ago most of his hits in the NFL would be legal. People dub him a villain because he will do anything to get the Bengals to win a playoff game, anything.
Even ruin my 2 person killsteeak on call of teabaggers 69 X Devil May Cry?
He’s not out there to make friends with players on the other team . He’s out there to intimidate and win . That’s what the bengals defense needed in the AFC North ... F the haters lol
I did not expect him to be such a sweet sounding guy
Honestly hes a good guy. Just misunderstood
Sebastien Nation that's fr man I don't like the Bengals but this guy is really nice tbh no body cares if the saints actually tried killing players lmao forgotten this guy is physical and people cry ab is a shot guy if it was Chad 85 or Moss thats a clean chest hit ab is undersized not burficts fault
when you run full force and players move around shit happens he just wants to go all out
Merkslayjohnny 1 he's dirty go back and watch film!
Justin SchultZ he's dirty!
Justin SchultZ sorry man
Always a pleasure seeing the Bengals in the playoffs.. means the Steelers will win the wild card no problem, with a little help from Burfict 😉
This didn’t age well
I think that this is just the way football is made to be played and in 10 years it's flag football.
Yup cause team don't want be a losing franchise stuff like happen oh well flag football. In ten years cheers 🍻😇
*s
Glad I caught this vid , He's a nice guy , I'v been watching NFL since the '70s and my favorite player was and is Ronnie Lott so I like Burfict's play .
Nothing is good about his play
Right? Guy was about 30-40 years too late
Sounding all sweet and innocent on camera doesn't speak as loud as trying to paralyze your opponent in an entertainment sport
why does he get in the water with a hoodie on lol
This dood is the last of the Mohicans. Everybody gettin soft but him
Welcone to the Nation !!! Do your thing :)
Targets ab and turns to juju and says that he's next dude what a nice guy honestly such a good hard working guy trying to ruin careers and acts sweet on camera
I just don't get the ankle break attempts to apposing players (maybe someone can explain it to me?)
That tattoo on the back is such a disrespect to the MK family.
Definitely not how I expected him to sound.
Why bool got a hoodie on in the tub?
Is that Sub-Zero or scorpion tattooed on his back?
One thing I will say is VB play was outdated. But I find it hilarious to see Steeler fans and etc in the comment section crying about dirty players. Like I watched Hines Ward blindside a player breaking his jaw, no where near the play and Hines on the sideline laughing about it and high fiving players.
That hit ended Keith rivers career too
He's a dirty player period. Nobody is trying to assume his character off the field, but on the field he is dirty.
He knocked Antonio brown out of his right mind….. literally
Vontaze drives a hellcat, sweat!!!!!
He hits hard but yes
what kind of tattoos are those at 1:27?
He's a free agent right now, just a reminder he's available.
I expected a deeper voice ngl
Dey beeeez a fine line its feetsball. Ook ook eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
Hahahahaha dude got his ass rocked by JuJu.
Yes but at brandin cooks got it worse
What are all the Steelers haters doing here
^BANDWAGON PATRIOTS FAN DETECTED!!!!^ HE USED TO BE A BENGALS FAN!!!!!!!
I've always been a Patriots fan but my dad loves the Bengals so I support the Bengals
