Vontaze Burfict has colorful words for Roger Goodell, distances himself from Myles Garrett

Suspended Oakland Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict has some thoughts on Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Burfict is currently serving a suspension for the remainder of the season after laying an illegal hit on Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle in Week 4. But he wants it to be known that he doesn't want to be compared to Garrett, who was suspended indefinitely on Friday for hitting Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph over the head with his own helmet.

“The NFL had to suspend somebody for that last night, since that wasn’t a football act,” Burfict told The Athletic on Friday.
