CINCINNATI -- After he followed up a one-word response to a question about linebacker Vontaze Burfict with a brusque, two-word reply on the same subject, Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis put his foot down.
"I'm not saying anything to you guys anymore," he said to the small collection of beat reporters who addressed him Friday. "That's the way it is. That's the way it goes."
Lewis was perturbed by the frequency of questions he was receiving about a potential timetable for the linebacker to play in a game for the first time this year.
