For Tez's part...I'm starting to think they guy just isn't real bright. I hate saying that because I have been of fan of the passion and ferocity he plays with, but when you know that the league is watching you...you stop doing dumb shit that gives them an excuse to fine/suspend you.

Burfict was out of control in college, though.  Not to defend Marvin or MB, but he's always been a loose cannon and a dirty player.  I don't know that there's a coach in the league that can straighten him out, but almost any other organization would've sent him packing by now.  

It's just tough on everyone involved because when he's motivated, he's a great individual player, a team leader, and an intimidating force on the defense.  Even after the playoff game he helped blow, he was still seen as a hero who finally gave back to the Steelers a piece of what they've been dishing out to us for years by the majority of the fanbase.  But he's got a bullseye on his back from the league, and deservedly so.  Dude's just a dirty player that isn't smart enough to do it without getting caught.
