bro keeps fukking up. Saban like

“He does the right things on the field," Nick Saban, Burton's coach at Alabama, said after the Bengals' draft pick. "But you got to do the right things in your life all the time so that you can do the best things you can do on the field and be the best you can be.”

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton is accused of assaulting a woman he was dating, but she refused to press charges, Cincinnati police reports show. An assault was reported the morning of Dec. 30, just days before the Cincinnati Bengals nixed Burton from traveling with the team to Pittsburgh, the last game of the season.

Two reports and a recording of a 911 call the woman made were released Wednesday morning.
Rumors of a possible assault swirled on social media over the weekend. In a cryptic Instagram story posted Saturday, Burton wrote "*lies*. Stop hitting my phone."

911 caller: 'He hit me and he left'
Reports show Burton and the woman met in September and dated on and off in the month prior to the alleged assault.

The two had been out together and argued before the incident in the woman's Oakley neighborhood apartment, reports show. After the night out, police were called and the woman said Burton met her at her apartment, chased her inside, damaged her phone and assaulted her, including choking her. The caller said before leaving, Burton held a knife to his neck and threatened to kill himself.

The woman, who is 19, called police for help at around 8:45 a.m.

On the call, the woman is heard sobbing heavily.

"Jermaine Burton on the Bengals just broke into my house," she said. "He broke my phone."

She added, "He's been like pretty abusive. He does a lot of things that I don't tolerate."

She said they had been out the night before when he got mad at her.

"He was yelling at me in the car and he was screaming at me and saying things," she said.

They parted ways, and when she got home, Burton was waiting for her, she said.

"He wouldn't let me go inside. And he choked me (unintelligible) in the hallway," she said. "He blocked the door so I couldn't go inside, and when I did go inside, he chased me upstairs. He broke into my house. He broke my phone. This is the second time he's broken my phone in the past month."

"He broke my phone. He hit me and he left."

911 caller reports threat of suicide​

She told the 911 call taker: "He said he was going to kill himself." She added, "He's a narcissist. He's a manipulator."

The two had been drinking, she said. But she said she was not drunk at the time of the call.

"He got in my dishwasher and he grabbed a knife and he held it to his neck," she said, telling the call taker that he had left the knife behind.

"I don't f---ing deserve this," she said. "I'm only 19."

When police arrived, Burton was already gone. The woman, whose name is redacted from police reports, told officers much of what she told the call taker.

The woman suffered minor injuries but did not need medical attention, the report says. Investigators said Burton is suspected of having used alcohol and stated force was involved.

According to the report, the woman initially said she wanted to file charges but then changed her mind.

Playoff spot clinched with no chance of winning the division then you pull the starters so you knew going in they weren't playing the whole game. Why even play them in the first place?

Going into the playoffs as healthy as possible should be the goal. You lost the game and have to go to Philly so nothing was gained. You got the toughest matchup down a key piece of your offense.

Watson is not a key piece of the Packers offense

Hes a one trick pony who gets injured every year.

You would have a point if this was Josh's best statistical season. 2020-2022 were far more productive. And if Aaron had a clutch bone in his body, outside of playing the Bears/Lions, the Jets wouldve won 10 games and been playing on Wild Card weekend

That time of year again



These owner are pathetic and so is the NFL

The rule is pathetic.

If a team knows they wanna hire Vrabel and just Vrabel, they still need to do these sham interviews.

It really just makes everyone look stupid.

I don’t know how to reform it but it should be reformed or you’ll have coaches looking like useful idiots, fans being mad and teams getting shytted on every year

Yep. How do you stop people from being biased? You alienate a group of people. Now on the of chance someone from that group gets a job, their capabilities are questioned.

Don't lose to the Patriots and start the season 1-4. Handle your own business so you don't have to rely on other teams.
