I'd absolutely love to have a team that beats the bullies without resorting to their crud... I just haven't seen us do it. I consider him the Bengals' version of an NHL goon. He's willing to be the bad guy whenever another team thinks they can step all over us.

Yeah, there is a fine line between playing tough and not taking anybody's crap and taking cheap shots and playing dirty.  I love the way Burfict plays, but not some of his other on-field actions.
