Yes. It's not like Gibbs 1.0 was warned by the league for breaking rules (and the rules were different) and then egregiously continued.

Not only was it legal under Allen and Gibbs 1.0, but the medical community didn't understand the repercussions of repeated concussions on players. My whole family was going crazy when Dexter Manley knocked Danny White out in the playoffs and I'm sure he got a "bonus" the next day. But I don't think anybody viewed it as hurting him, just knocking him out.

I didn't post that to say OMG LOOK GIBBS WAS DOING IT. I even said there were no rules in regards to this type of activity. I posted to show it's was/is a common thing.

One of the issues, and in the end the one that makes it a big problem, is that the Saints and GW were told they were being looked into, and told to stop specific practices. They agreed and said they would, but then kept doing it. I am sure there were ways they could have altered it, and been in compliance with what the league was looking for, but they chose not.

That's a problem, and they are probably gonna get hammered.

That's it. The Saints aren't really in trouble because of bounties. They are in trouble because they continued the practice after being warned.

You know what I was thinking, what if the 'Snitch' who ratted out the saints about there illegal hits was Steve Gleason the guy who now has ALS...that would be a twist!
