wow, thats a little harsh imo. I mean, hasnt this gone on since the beginning of football? It may not be as elaborate as pooling money, but there has been incentives for this type of 'play' for awhile on multi-levels of football ie high school, college, and nfl.

The thing of being told to quit and they didnt is certainly what will draw the harsh penalty, but a 1st round pick? Come'on man, thats insane. 4th, 5th round pick at the most, im not down with that.

There's a difference between hard-hitter and headhunter.

Wow.

Then again this isn't surprising, because I remember Gregg Williams saying that he wants his players to give peyton manning 'remember me shots' in the super bowl.

This reminds me of a book I read back in the 1980s entitled "They Call Me Assassin" by Jack Tatum.

It's really terrible for the game.

Jack Tatum was a dirty player who literally tried to injure people. He was terrible for the game.

Saints, team officials involved in bounty program should pay dearly - NFL - CBSSports.com

I'd be willing to bet that this still goes on around the league. I have no problem with it. Trying to knock out the other teams best player has been around since the start of football. Again, as long as the hits are legal, and the ones against Farve and Warner were legal, then I have no problem with it. Of course Mr. Stiff Suit himself (Roger G.) is going to think differently.

The hits on Favre weren't legal

Yeah, I mean according to the WaPo article, he was encouraging players to go out there and land what he called "kill shots" on opponents. That's not ok.

Anytime you have a bounty for big hits, it's likely to lead to late hits, intent to injure hits, etc. That's why no kind of bounty system is legal, because the league knows it's going to lead to problems even if it wasn't technically calling for players to injure others.

For all the people who post "I have no problem with it" or whatever, it's against the rules. Coaches and players don't get to decide which rules they want to follow and which they don't.

So they roughed him up a little. WHO CARES. Hitting the QB use to be a part of football. Now you can't even touch them.The NFL has become a soft league. Bounties are/were a part of football in small ways and in larger way..like this one GW was behind. It's just not a big deal to me. I've heard some of players comment on it and they're like...."So what?"

But they were illegal late hits and the Saints were told to stop but didn't, it's more than just roughing up the QB

It was obvious in that game that New Orleans was trying to get some hits on Farve. Some were legal, some were late. But nothing that was out of line.
