The message on his shirt --“What up Doe?†-- was a nod to Detroit, Burleson said. “They were kind of rough on me,†Burleson said of the NFL. “They got me.†Burleson apologized to Lions coach Jim Schwartz and several others on the sideline after punting the ball into the stands. The kick drew a 15-yard penalty on the field. Source: The Detroit Free Press
