NFL puts the Guillotine to Saints for Bountygate

[SouthernSVT]

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

[Rick Modena]

Sounds like theres a chance you'll come over if Brees' doesn't get signed, well to tell you the truth, hes unhappy. Hes tired of getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop, first SD and now NO, he might start throwing games or get a phantom high ankle sprain, lmao!










I'll hold a spot for you and that pretty little bride of yours...

[SouthernSVT]

It is a dangerous sport, that's why the players are paid the millions of dollars that they get. No-one is making them get out on the field. The players know what they're getting into when they apply for the draft. If you sign up for a dangerous sport, then don't whine if you get hurt. They have pretty much taken something that has happened throughout the NFL for God knows how long, and pinned it all on one team. Yeah the Saints may have taken it too far, but not so much further than everyone else that they deserve this harsh of a punishment. Even the NFL reported that it had been happening on other teams that Williams coached for, yet none of them have been punished at all. I expected some fines and suspensions, but this got excessive.

I guess the way I see it; The NFL let it happen for decades, but as soon as someone got vocal about it, Goodell hurried up and found himself a scapegoat. He's a follower, not a leader, and the NFL needs a leader.

I feel bad for Brees. He seems to get shafted everytime he finds a team.

LMAO.. haha.. Nah, it's all just negotiation. Brees has all the leverage now and he'll just use it to his advantage. The Saints need to get him signed, badly, because he won't sign the franchise tender. Benson knows that the city loves Brees more than Archie Manning (and that is saying something) Brees and Payton are going to have statues in Jackson Square after they retire. That's how popular they are..

I've been a Saints fan for 35 years now. I used to wear a paper bag over my head. We could have Chad Henne as our QB and I'd still wear black and gold..

Dude give it up already!! NFL says you cant do it, they told NO to stop doing it, they didnt stop and got the hammer dropped on them. Its over, stop whining about it.

You should send them an application. Sounds like you have it all figured out.

There is no excuse for intentionally trying to have a player carried off the field for money. Ever.
