Just sayin'... you'd think he'd kicked puppies and then stole an old lady's handbag the way people act about it.
There are straight up criminals on our own team and everywhere around the NFL.
There are also dirty players current and in the HOF.
The very call that put him on his latest suspension is certainly a gray area to those in and around the league.
He's made mistakes and is paying for it in fines and suspensions that carry over to judgement calls by refs.
If you don't agree... fine. There are others who do, that aren't affiliated with the Bengals or fans.
The NFL was more physical years ago therefore dirty players could get to the HOF. All of this concussion stuff has made the NFL want to give the perception atleast that player safety is important.
22 personal fouls in 37 college football games. Just think about that?
Burfict, like it or not...is at the extreme of the personal foul issue. You may be able to find a player with a dirtier personal foul here and there...but you aren't going to find many players with the volume of personal fouls.
I think the maddening thing with the NFL is that guys like Mike Mitchell go helmet to helmet and occasionally don't get called. One thing to keep in mind is officials see things real-time. They don't have the benefit of slow motion replays and seeing a play over and over like fans do on TV.
