The thing that irritates me, is one of those guys is heavily scrutinized (and rightfully so, although he IS making a conscientious effort to clean up his act), and the other isn't. That is a GLARING inconsistency in rulings. Now, the question is, why is that so?
Burfict is the current whipping boy of the NFL. They're going to break him and make an example of him since hs is a high profile player. The Steelers and their fans went through the exact same thing with James Harrison several years ago. Harrison left a bad enough fart on the field and he was flagged and fined for it. I get the Bengals fans frustrations when it comes to him, especially the latest suspension. Give it time, he will change, the league will leave him alone and move on to the next example.
