NFL: Saints Bounty Thread

[Xanthri]

Well I will agree with you on one thing....the players (whether they offered bounties or not) should not be held to blame for this....the coaches and DC should....because frankly you can't suspend every member of the defense. I do think the part Goodell got wrong was placing blame on only 4 players....which personally is why I think they are doing the lawsuit....

There were pay for plays....whether it was money personally offered and whether it was money to "hurt" other players remains the question....I think it was....but again I don't have access to the evidence.....on a side note I don't think there is a problem with charging fines internally for players that get flagged during the game and redristibuting that money to someone who made a sack/int/caused a fumble ETC....as long as the intent is NOT to hurt another player.....

For me there is too much evidence that in some form, players were awarded for "cart-offs" and I think that is terrible....
