I'm just flabbergasted at the fact that, knowing what we know about the bias and target, you seem to think he should ignore it and continue to do the 'little things' that we know, he knows, and the NFL knows, that have great probability of taking him off the field. Never said he should ignore it. He shouldn't do anything dirty like what he did against Cam several years back, but he also shouldn't stop playing hard.

Unfortunately the media, be it social or sports venue, tend to play a huge part in all of this. I think the only media the NFL will 'claim' to be credible, behind closed doors, is the sports media, which can be enough.

Kind of like Luke Kuechly? From what Burfict says they are buds. I can't imagine Luke hasn't addressed this with him as a concerned friend.

I go before a judge and chances are that he keeps my license for awhile... Agreed. I got pulled over this last weekend for 50 in a 30. Sheriff gave me a warning. Of course, have zero tickets on my record, I'm not wanted anywhere and don't have a history of being in trouble with the Sheriff's office. If I were Burfict, and had a history with the Sheriff the way he has with the refs, I'd probably have been shackled and patty-wagoned to the station and made to sit in a cell for a day or two. If you don't have a history with them they assume some error was inadvertent. If you have a history with them they assume there was nothing inadvertent about it at all.

Many of his past transgressions are pretty much black and white though. My point was that something minor or even unintentional can become a big deal based on your past history.

Penalties are costing us games. Some fair and then others... Still have to clean them up. We have been pretty bad in that department for a bit.

A microcosm of how the sensationalist media behaves in our society in general. It's ridiculous. Whatever happened to good ol Paul Harvey's "Rest.....of the story..."? "Better send those refunds..."

No one has been able to control Burfict since college. It's why he went undrafted.
