Either way, there are certainly players saying the intent was to harm. This was known and encouraged all the way up to the general manager. A convicted felon helped fund the program. The Saints were warned and did nothing. All those things combined lead to serious penalties being levied on the Saints.

The NFL has always been a rough league. It's been that way since the days of leather helmets. Gregg Williams was wrong because he disrespected the game in the way he did, and plus as much as I wanted him to be the head coach of the Washington Redskins after Gibbs stepped down, I'm now shaking my head and sort of glad that Daniel Snyder didn't hire him because as a head coach, the level of his disrespect for the game would have been greater. He's a great defensive coordinator. I give him that. In a way, as a life long Redskins fan, I did want him to be our head coach. But I see him differently now. If Roger Goddell severly punishes Williams, and I know he will, Williams could always go to North Western, Central Arkansas, or North Texas and have a job in building up a college football program.

I see nothing wrong with putting bounties on Warpath posters. Everybody in all the football related forums do it, none of the posters have a problem with it, and none of the people in charge have a problem with it, so to me it's not a big deal. Who cares about the legalities involved?

I used to think the same way until Smooty put a bounty on my posts. Notice I haven't been posting as regularly as I used to? I got my fingers broke man! My fingers! They're my livelihood. Doc says I'll never type the same again.

Psh. You knew the risks when you decided to play the game.

No issue with cheering the hit, but cheering the injury is another thing.

Are we really still stuck on this?

It seems like many feel they have to stand on their soap box and pontificate.
This is the never ending story. I am so tired of it already. Fine and suspend GW severely. Enough grassy knoll theories as to who shot PManning. I knew this was going get stupid.

Experience With Bounties - ESPN Video - ESPN


This pretty much sums it up for me.


You are rewarded your whole life as a football player for doing spectacular things or for making good plays. It starts off with stickers on helmets, and later transcends to money at the professional level. I think people get the wrong idea about these types of pools. I don't think coaches(or most of them) are telling guys to maliciously hurt the guys, but if you knock them out (with a clean hit) than you get bonus. Listen, those guys going to hit the players just as hard whether there is no money on the line or not. It's just in the pros, the money takes place of a sticker on a helmet.


Nothing to see. Move along.


The one problem here though is that the Siants were told to stop and didn't. Now that is going to probably draw some sort of discipline.
