NFL puts the Guillotine to Saints for Bountygate

[Sgt Beavis]

We've got a little room left on the Cowboys bandwagon, I can get on you on but you have to swear allegiance to the Boy's..

Not no, but FUCK YOU NO!



The Saints need to get Bree's re-signed quickly. That will eliminate some of this funk that we WhoDat's are feeling...

Well you're coming across as very immature, dude. This is a very dangerous sport and to be paying players extra bounty money to hurt someone intentionally is un-called for. If you can't see that, i'm not sure what else to say.

I'm thinking MMA may be more suited to his liking.

From my understanding the bonus money was for big hits. It got spun into injuries when the mouth breathers at ESPN got a hold of the story. They tend to make things extra drammatic.

They got paid bonus money to injure players, not make hits. Stop being an idiot. There isn't much to be said other than whats been said already. You can read about as well as I can.

It didn't get spun in to anything by ESPN. I fucking loathe ESPN, but in this case all they did was report the facts. There were bounties, placed by both players AND coaches, for big hits, and injuries. Period. End of story. You think the NFL makes decisions based on some story by the mouth breathers at ESPN? Not hardly. They did their own investigation.

Player safety is the #1 focus in the NFL, and has been for a decade or more. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Goodell wanted to send a message, and I think it was received loud and clear.

Yea, I have to agree with that. He sure as hell sent a wake up call today. He also demanded that all OWNERS certify that their teams do not have bounty systems and start policing the locker room...

[SouthernSVT]

Bonus money is bonus money. You can't hand out bonus money for injuring opposing players. It's really that fucking simple.

I'm still in a bit of shock of this.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't get in a little trouble, but this is way overboard. I guess I should throw that out there. There's no way that they should have a harsher punishment than New England did.

Ummm...if you think bonus money doesn't get handed out on every team in the NFL, then you might have your helmet on too tight.

A few thoughts:
- How long before Gregg Williams throws coaches on other teams under the bus for the same thing? He might be the worst offender but he is definitely not the only one.

- I'm now wondering if Sean Payton will consider resigning. Benson won't fire him because Payton and Loomis both covered his ass in this debacle.

- I'm not terribly concerned about the offense if Bree's get's re-signed soon. Carmichael did a really nice job last season when Payton shattered his knee.

- Our Free Agency is over. No one is going to want to come here now. We will be VERY fortunate if we can re-sign Tracy Porter.

- Goodell better wear body armor to the Superbowl. There are a ton of pissed off Creole and Coonasses down there right now....


Any my final opinion:

[SouthernSVT]

Yes, they did. You think that bounty money came out of the salary cap? Don't be fucking retarded.
