data-mm-id=”_r59g68a5d”>The Carolina Panthers are facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and weather has really mucked up the game. That, in turn, has let to things getting a bit headed between the division rivals. It boiled over in the third quarter when Panthers linebacker Brian Burns threw a punch and was ejected. Here's slow-mo video of Burns losing his head and punching Bucs offensive lineman Cody Mauch in the helmet, which is not smart for any number of reasons. ANOTHER EJECTION! Panthers LB Brian Burns has been ejected for throwing a punch. pic.twitter.com/WE9bEKxDgf— Arye Pulli (@AryePulli) December 3, 2023Burns is one of the Panthers' best defenders and this came in the third quarter with his team trailing 14-10. Here's hoping that long walk back to the locker room gave him something to think about because this is just stupid behavior. The NFL is going to issue him a hefty fine this week and he deserves it. Burns, a former first-round pick, is in the final year of his rookie contract and is making $16 million this season. He doesn't get paid that to get ejected.

Pep Guardiola has frequently been accused of overthinking during his time as Manchester City manager, with some even putting their continued failure to win the Champions League down to this reason.
As a case in point, City lost to Chelsea in the 2021 final of that competition when Guardiola decided against fielding a naturally defensive midfielder.
Perhaps it has been a fair criticism at times, but by extension it highlights the self-belief that he can outmanoeuvre opponents before they ve even set foot on the pitch.
He might even be accused of having overcomplicated plans for Thursday s trip to Stamford Bridge.
Yet Guardiola also inspired the 1-0 win over Chelsea with his own apparent recognition that he got his initial line-up wrong, his second-half cha…

But a double courtesy of the in-form Mikey Johnston – his fifth and sixth goals since a January loan move from Celtic – inspired a second-half comeback.
