Some of you guys are hilarious. Back away from the ledge before you hurt yourselves. Thanks.

Just opinions. In the end, many of us know that nothing will prob come out of this. But given the BS from the league in the whole cap-gate situation, I can see where people are concerned.

On a semi-related note. I am really curious to see what type of punishments Goodell will have for players. I am thinking the likes of Jonathan Vilma maybe suspended for several games up to possibly a year.

Opinions are one thing, overreacting is another. I think capgate and bountygate are two separate issues all together. Also, our (and the bills) situation with Gregg Williams and the Saints are two different animals. They aren't even comparable. One, we(or Bills) were never notified or investigated by the league and told to stop such bounty numerous times. Secondly, we never lied to any investigators repeatedly. Lying is what caused this harsh punishment, not the actual bounty program.

So to continue with the "THERE GOING TO TAKE OUR #1 PICK AWAY" is a bit silly to be honest with you.

And so is the thought the league is looking to retaliate against the Skins for challenging the cap penalty.

Despite any concerns some may have (including myself) I believe the NFL is further investigating this issue to see if there are other teams that have recently engage in bounty programs. While the whole cap issues may give us the idea of being paranoid, I just can't see how the NFL can place any penalties on the Redskins organization. Now, let's remember that player suspensions haven't been given out, so this may very well be part of that.

I too am concerned somewhat but what could they do? Who would they suspend? Everyone from then is gone. I am pretty convinced the draft picks taken from the Saints were more due to the continual lying and cover-up. Maybe a fine? Everyone can chill out. Worry about it when there is something to actually worry about.

I have a feeling, just a feeling, as much as anything these talks with Redskins are to verify the sincerity and accuracy of comments Williams has already provided to the league. If by talking to Redskins, the league finds that Williams was being honest about whatever he said re: his time with the Redskins maybe his suspension is lifted after one year. If, on the other hand, they find he was lying...

So this just got a bit interesting...

Smoot...Fred Smoot that is, calling out Phillip Daniels about what he said in regards to the bounties

And here's PD's response...

Smoot's idea is typical Smoot: mindless. It's like saying the employees of a business should have the power to overrule the owner. Laughable. Sometimes these guys forget who they work for and who pays their million dollar salaries.

Here we go once again comparing the NFL to a regular business

Here we go, once again, with the pseudo-argument that anything can be trumped by simply declaring the NFL an irregular business.

It's not a pseudo-argument, the NFL is not a typical business period. I am sure there are people here that can explain it better than I would.
