Two giant distinctions. The Kimo hit was 2005, the league has changed a lot since them. Second, he was not known as a dirty player with repeated violations.
Listen, it sucks, but this is Burfict's world. He needs to be a choir boy and let some of this rep go away. Until then, he just does not get the benefit of the doubt. Reminds me a lot of James Harrison. He was getting fined over and over, was constantly being quoted about playing the game his way and how he would not change. He finally got tired of it, made some adjustments, let the furor die down and then things got better.
