How was it not a Boston marathon joke? You mentioned the Boston marathon specifically. Granted, I don't actually GET the joke...

Burrows was not third man in because he did not enter the fight. There was no fight, first of all, because he grabbed Backes before there was, and he did not fight - he didn't drop his gloves, it was just a wrestling match. The reason it doesn't make sense he'd get 4 minutes is that all he did was grab the guy. It's a roughing minor, but if you watch the replay, he didn't do anything terribly egregious (and couldn't if he'd wanted to, holding Backes from behind, who is much stronger than Burrows). So I am just as puzzled as Garrett. Not that it ended up mattering.

I suspect Backes was cut by Burrows's glove, or his own helmet.
